"KINGDOM CONFESSION"
Recently I shared with the congregation how important it is for us to speak the word of God and have a powerful, positive confession over our lives.
God tells Joshua:
Joshua 1:8 (KJV)
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Now notice carefully the frame work of this verse. God tells Joshua that the book of the law should never depart from his mouth. Now you may read this like I did and say wait a minute did he mean mind, or mouth. Think about it does the mouth have a memory, can the mouth remember a book, does the mouth have memory and mental capacity. Yes it does and he tells Joshua what you are meditating on must work it's way from your mind to your mouth. The end result is " GOOD SUCCESS". He also tells Joshua that by doing this he is making his way prosperous. Now this is mind blowing to me and a major mark in my faith to know that certain things I do, or don't do determine my prosperity. So the lesson here is that the mouth of the Kingdom Believer must be trained to to speak what God says and not what circumstances look like, or what life feels like. It's hard but we must all put our mouths in faith school and tame that tongue to agree with God. The Word says:
James 3:5-6,8 (KJV)
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. [8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Let me encourage you today to change the things you are saying, speak what the word says and experience the life of God overflowing in you. It is God's will today for your cup to overflow but you must add speaking faith to al of the other principles that you are hopefully living by.
Join me on the journey to being a faith speaker. Here are three declarations to help you get started.
1. Father, I am victorious, real failure can never happen because I am doing all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
2. I do not lack strength, wisdom, or resources because my God is supplying all my need.
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
3. I refuse to submit to fear because God hath not given me a spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:8 (KJV) Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

Phil. 4:13
1. WE SHOULD BE FULL OF LIFE AND HAVE OVERFLOW SO WE CAN BLESS OTHERS
Luke 14:34 34Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Matthew 5:13-15
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
2. JESUS SAID THAT WHEN WE COME TO HIM LIFE SHOULD ALWAYS BE FLOWING OUT OF US.
John 4:13-15
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
3. God created man in his Image and gave him the ability and authority to
Gen 1:26-28
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Today You Are:

1. I will never feel insecure, because the Lord shall be my confidence and keep my foot from being taken...

2. I am victorious in all levels of life because my Lord has overcome the world...
John 16:33 (KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world
