The Mouth & The Heart

The Mouth & The Heart

There is something powerful about our words. There are so many Scriptures on that. Our confession can either be about our condition or our conclusion.

Your condition is not your conclusion. But if you can conclude your conclusion by your confession before you experience the change in your condition, your position will conclude your condition.

F.F. Bosworth said, 'Faith interprets the Word of God as the voice of God.'

Biblical confession is to agree with and speak what God says. God only says what He sees. If you want to see what He sees, then you have to say what He says. The Word of God is what God says. So if you confess the Word of God, you are saying what He says.

"God's Word in Christ's mouth is as powerful as God's Word is in your mouth." - John G Lake

The place of confession must come from the place of believing (Matt 12:34). If you believe, you will speak. However, if you don't believe yet, then speak until you believe.

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞." - Rom 10:9-11

Majority of today's church take this passage as merely for salvation of the spirit. That is only part of the Gospel. The word 'saved' in Greek is 'sozo', which includes your spirit, soul and body. God has never intended for your spirit to be saved only. That's not the FULL Gospel. Or rather... that's heretic in my opinion.

Your confession brings salvation of the spirit. By the same token, it brings salvation of the body aka divine healing, because Romans 10:9 applies to spirit, soul and body.

The problem lies with our confession and our believing. When things don't go the way it should be, do we change our confession? Heb 10:23 says that we should hold fast the confession without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

If God is faithful and changes not, then His voice changes not. His Word changes not. What He sees and what He says changes not. His conclusion changes not.

Therefore, by looking unto The Faithful One who changes not, we change NOT our confession despite our condition. We conclude our conclusion by holding fast to our confession. Standing on this position will conclude our condition, whether miraculously, suddenly or progressively.
