POWERFUL BIBLICAL CONFESSIONS (PAGE 2)

Believing what God said and putting His Word in our own mouth and speaking it forth is powerful and life changing. There is power in the Word of Christ. There is life in the Word. The Word changes things. Proclaiming what we strongly believe in our hearts is pleasing to God. It honors God. It strengthen our own spirit and soul. The confessions of faith will put God Word and His Holy Spirit in action in our lives. We will be changed and transformed in the process. The image of Christ will be formed in us. The Spirit of Christ will accompany the word of our Biblical Confessions AND FULFILL HIS WORD IN OUR MOUTHS. Healings shall come. Faith shall be increased. The promises of God shall be fulfilled as we believe and obey the Spirit and walk in love. The devil will flee from us and fear us. God's holy angels will come into action in our behalf and perform according to God's Word spoken in faith. So speak God's Word, speak it in faith, speaking it boldly, confess it, proclaim and see yourself be blessed beyond measure.
