Mostly it is quite easy for people to believe that God’s Word is powerful. We even read through the scriptures in the book of Genesis how the Lord spoke the word and everything we see into existence “Let there be light!”
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (KJV)
Us been God’s representatives here on earth, and we can speak His Word just the same as He would boldly, with authority, and believing it has power to change our lives and every situation around us.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (KJV)
Isaiah teaches us that the Word of God will not return void. In other words, it accomplishes what it was sent to do! The Word of God is like a seed, and when we release it on the earth, it will germinate and we will see good results. Learning to confess and speaking God’s Word out loud has been a life changing experience for me. Confession means “to say the same thing as.” It’s so important for us to say what God says—to speak His Word—not what our feelings, other people or our circumstances are telling us. And when we say what He wants us to say, we’re going to have what He wants us to have. Because it is through God's Word that we receive from God what we seek from Him.
When I first began learning these principles, I was terribly negative. I was a Christian and active in church work, but I didn’t know I could do anything about my situations and the challenge I was having at that time. God began teaching me that I should not think and say negative things. As I decided to stop speaking negatively, I became happier, because a negative person can never be happy. After a while, however, I felt like my circumstances really weren’t that different. I asked the Lord about it, and He spoke to my heart and said, “You have stopped talking negative, but you are not saying anything positive.” because after you destroy the negative, you must speak positivity into existence so that the place where the negative was, will be replaced by the positive. Like God in the beginning, after he dealt with darkness, He spoke light into existence.
So, I started making a list of the things that were rightfully mine according to the Word of God. Everything that belonged to me, I wrote it down. I had scriptures to back them up. Twice a day for approximately six months I confessed those truths out loud. I did it in my house by myself. I wasn’t talking to anyone else—I was declaring the Word of God over my own life.
I began declaring things like:
“I don’t have a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (KJV)
“I take good care of my body. I eat right, I look good, I feel good, and I weigh what God wants me to weigh.”
1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (KJV)
1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. (KJV)
“I am a believer, not a doubter.”
Mark 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. (KJV)
Changes in my life did not come overnight. But gradually I did see changes, and to this day I continue to see good results when I verbalize my faith and speak in agreement with God. Confessing God’s Word has become a regular part of my daily life. In fact, it’s one of the most important parts of my walk with God. The truth is, I don’t believe I would be where I am today had I not applied this powerful Biblical principle! I look at my list of confessions and it absolutely amazes me how many of the things that I wrote on it have come to pass—things that seemed impossible at the time! And so much of it has to do with getting in agreement with God and consistently declaring His will over my life.
Amos 3:3 Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed?
We cannot walk with God concerning His plan for our lives unless we are willing to agree with Him—in our hearts and with our words. I encourage you to speak God’s Word out loud daily. Get in agreement with Him and become His mouthpiece, declaring the good things He has in store for you. As you do, I believe you will be strengthened in faith...and have the joy of witnessing God’s goodness and power in every area of your life.
