- OUR CONFESSION
Those who discover how important words are will definitely become overcomers in all areas of their lives.
The words we speak create the environment in which we will live in the near future. They govern our lives. We are today what we consciously or subconsciously declared ourselves to be at some time in the past.
If what we say can make us or break us, we should change our conversation, and so live happier lives.
If you do not correct yourself, and start using positive language, you will soon learn that nothing else you try will change your life. An ill-spoken word is a word that is not aligned with the Word of God; it will always annul even the sincerest of intentions.
The worst time to make a decision is when you are going through a crisis, whether it be sickness, a financial problem, marital problems, etc. When you find yourself in this situation, you usually let your emotions speak and almost always say things that are quite the opposite of what the Bible says.
We must confess what the Lord teaches us in any situation. If we do not have something inspiring to say, then we must seal our lips and seek orientation in the Scriptures. Words that lack the Lord’s anointing are null, and will very likely create an adverse situation.
Jesus is our example and pattern. He never said anything in disagreement with the Father. When quoting the Holy Word, He united Himself with the Father, becoming one with Him. The same thing will happen to you if you act the same way.
Our confession determines what we are in the eyes of the Lord and the eyes of the world. It is our word that makes us strong or weak, healthy or sick, overcomers or losers.
I pray that you learn to speak words that edify.
In Christ,

The strongest forces in this world are not atomic weapons or any other kind of armament. They are the invisible and inaudible spiritual forces of God.
The Lord, who is Spirit, created all things, both visible and invisible, by His power through His Word. That is how He created the mountains, the minerals, and all the different types of living creatures: And God said… (Genesis 1)
When you discover that the words you speak are more powerful than anything you know, your life will be completely transformed. You will learn that when you are united with Christ, your words become an army at your disposal, ready to go into action, awaiting only your determinations.
OUR WORDS
Nothing is more important in our walk of faith than the words that we speak. They are a faithful translation of what we believe; they are a perfect portrait of our spirit. That is why it is so important to learn their value and the influence they exercise in our lives.
The Lord Jesus declared that if we believe, we will receive exactly what we say: “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:22-23).
The faster and better we learn the role that words play in our lives, and what the Bible reveals about them, the better we will live. We will learn that the blessing we have long sought for only depends on our words to become a reality.
We will also discover that today we are exactly what we consciously or subconsciously declared about ourselves at some time in the past.
The truth is that from now on we can be what we want to be. We make the difference; we write our futures. Our words rule our lives; they give us health, peace, prosperity and happiness. They can also defeat us, making us wretched and sick.
OBSERVE THE WAY JESUS SPOKE
The Lord Jesus spoke as if He and the Father were truly one, and they were: I and [My] Father are one (John 10:30). What made the Lord one with the Father?
His unity with the Word. That is why He lacked for nothing. He knew that when He spoke the words His Father told Him to, He could order the demons to leave their victims and they would submit and obey Him.
He knew He could speak to the forces of nature as God (even though He was a man), and they would obey His commands. All nature acknowledged Him as Lord, for the Word of God in His mouth gave Him this prerogative. The wind and sea obeyed Him. He walked on water, transformed water into wine, and multiplied bread and fish. He healed people with all manner of diseases and infirmities.
If you observe how Jesus went about doing the work of God, you will see how important words were to him. It’s as if He, who came to give us the example of how to be more than conquerors in all things, were saying that we will only get what we declare, ordain, or take possession of. That was exactly what He wanted to tell us. What was His secret? He took for Himself all the Father had declared about Him, and confessed it openly. Maybe we are failing because we do not do the same.
COMPARING OURSEL ARING OURSELVES TO JESUS
Let us observe what Jesus’ position before God was, and what the Lord declares about us:
1. Jesus: I and [My] Father are one (John 10:30).
About us: But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with Him] (1 Corinthians 6:17).
2. Jesus: Nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me (John 8:42b).
About us: You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you hould go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15:16).
3. Jesus: The Spirit of the LORD [is] upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to [the] poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to [the] captives And recovery of sight to [the] blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” (Luke 4:18-19)
About us: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
4. Jesus: When Jesus 4. Jesus: used the power of God to do miracles and said He was the Son of God, the Jews were filled with envy and anger. They said that the Master, being a man, was making Himself equal to God. They did not understand that when someone is used to give forth the Word, he acts in the place of God Himself. Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with
God (John 5:18).
About us: He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken) (John 10:35).
Jesus: 5. When Jesus was arrested by the Romans, He declared that if He wanted to, He could ask the Father to send legions of angels in His rescue: Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? (Matthew 26:53).
About us: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13).
OUR CONFESSION
It is now very clear that it doesn’t depend on a direct action of God for healings to happen today. This might confuse people who have always been told that they should pray, fast, and ask God to heal them. But we are learning that we have to do our part. This is the fastest and safest way for His divine power to flow in our lives. This is what is lacking for us to live lives filled with peace, health, prosperity and many other blessings.
When we speak words of authority, the power of God enters into action.
