Shalom! Taking a faith stand is a lot more than just spouting words into the air. The Apostle Paul puts it this way, "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak" (2 Corinthians 4:13). The basis for what we say and speak must be our faith. We confess what we believe.
You may have a heart full of faith, but you will release that faith only when you confess it or say it. Say what you believe you have recieved when you prayed untill the reality of it dawns on you - when you get to see it.
This was the way Jesus spoke to the fig tree. He believed that what He was going to say will definitely come to pass and it did.
Mark 11: 14, 20-22
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Jesus made it an object lesson to them then, and also to us today. The way of faith is the way of the kingdom of God.
You believe something with your heart and say it with your mouth and it comes to pass.
Paul again said, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:10).
If you believed that God has answered your prayer, then confess or say it that you have, and it will be.
Whether praying or exercising spiritual authority or making faith confessions, the principle works the same way.
Till next posting, God bless.
