“The word that saves is
right here, as near as the tongue in your mouth…It’s the word of faith that
welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us…That’s it. you’re not
“doing” anything; you’re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for
you… and then you say it, right out loud…” Romans 10:8-10” MSG
That
is why it is so important to say what God has said. We do this not so others
can hear us, but so our soul will receive instruction what to believe and agree
with instead of the situations in our life, symptoms in our body and fear-based
thinking and talking we hear from others around us. How do we give glory to
God? By honoring the words He has spoken and demonstrating our trust in Him. Our
first step of acting on our faith in His Word is to agree with and say the
thing He has said.
Keeping
Jesus’ words means more than just doing what He said. It also means living as
He lived. He lived never saying or doing anything He did not first hear the
Father say or see the Father do. As His disciples, our words should be in
complete agreement with what the Father has spoken concerning us.
When we speak His words in
faith, they have the same power to change our circumstances as when He spoke
Creation into being.
Jesus’
ministry to us today includes His position as High Priest of our confession (Hebrews
3:1). To confess means to “say the same thing.” When we say only what
God has said, His words have the same power spoken in faith out of our lips as
they did when He originally spoke them. Jesus, as our High Priest, makes sure
those words the Father has spoken come to pass in our lives. That is why we are
instructed in Hebrews to “let us hold fast our confession [of faith in
Him].” 4:14 AMP. Also, “So
let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and
confess and our acknowledgement of it, for he Who promised is reliable (sure)
and faithful to His word.” 10:23. AMP.
And Then You Say It
