God has given you a powerful method to obtain His promises, and it is up to you to use it. That method is confession. Confession, as it pertains to the Bible, is when you speak the Word of God out loud. Words are spiritual containers that release either fear or faith. Every time you speak, you are activating spiritual forces that will affect your life. This is why it is so important to be mindful of the words you speak and to make sure you are only saying what God has said in His Word.
Similar to the law of gravity, the law of confession will work for anyone who will get involved with it. Many Christians who have been defeated in life are defeated because they believe and confess the wrong things. They don’t realize that their words are activating a spiritual law that is working against them. You must understand the law of confession if you want things to work for you. You have been given access to the power of God through your words, which are weapons against the enemy. Satan is constantly applying pressure to your mind in order to get you to quit in these last days; however, you do not have to allow hard times or pressure to defeat you. You can use the Word of God as a weapon against the enemy, and win.
In order to be victorious over the attacks of the enemy, you must think, believe, and speak in line with God’s Word. In fact, believing the Word in your heart is the requirement for your confessions having a significant impact in your life. Mark 9:23 says, “Jesus said: If you can believe, all things are possible those that believeth.” Faith is the force that must be in operation in order for your confessions to come to pass. Sometimes people confess God’s Word religiously, mechanically, and out of fear; however, these types of confessions don’t accomplish anything. You must believe that the things you confess from the Bible are coming to pass as you pray and speak them.
You can look to God as an example of how faith-filled words cause things to manifest in the natural realm. In the biblical account of how God created the earth, the Word says that He spoke and whatever He spoke came into existence (Genesis 1). God’s words are full of faith, which is what caused them to become actual physical substance. The things you see in this earth today, from the sky to the trees, are the result of words that were spoken by God.
The same creative power that God possesses has been invested in you. As a spiritual being you have the nature of God, you have the ability to speak things into existence just like God did. This isn’t some mystical, New Age idea; it is scriptural. When Jesus walked the earth, He imitated His Father by speaking what the Father spoke. As a result, He had results everywhere He went. Likewise, you must be an imitator of God, who thinks, acts, and speaks like Him. When you speak His Words, you release His creative ability into the earth, and something always happens.When you believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that the words you speak will come to pass, you will see what you are speaking (Mark 11:22-23).
