What you SAY is what you GET

(Confession brings Possession)

A lot of Christians do not know how to talk (confess). Rather than speaking God's word they like to speak their mind, feelings, thinking and imagination. This is not the right way to talk. We should speak the WORD of God instead of saying what we see, think, feel or imagine. We should not let our environment or circumstances shape us, instead we should shape our environment by speaking the right words. The Scripture (Bible) revealed to us that God spoke the world (creation) into existence. He created light by the Word of His mouth.

Let's consider the following scriptures that talk about confession

PSALM 50:23 - KJV
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

MARK 11:23, 24
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH.
We are using the last clause of Mark 11:23 as our text: "He shall have whatsoever he SAITH."

1 TIM 6:12-14
...lay hold on eternal life whereunto thou art also called and hast PROFESSED A GOOD PROFESSION (Good Confession) before many witnesses.
*Here Profession can be substituted for Confession

HEBREWS 13:6
So that we may boldly say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Romans 10:10

Romans 10:10
 ... and with the mouth CONFESSION (Positive confession) is made unto SALVATION (health, life, abundance).

(You receive eternal life, Salvation by making a positive confession)


JAMES 3: 2
 ...If a man offend not in WORD, the same is a perfect man, and also able to bridle the whole body

HEBREWS 4:14
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION [our confession of faith].

Caleb and Joshua were saved by their Confession
People think God loved Caleb and Joshua more than the whole congregation of Isreal but this is not true. Caleb and Joshua were saved by reason of their confession. God only said Amen to the Confession of the Isrealites. - Numbers 13:30-33, Numbers 14:24

Do not speak defeat
 If you are defeated, you are defeated with your own lips. Proverb 18: 21
says - death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof

Proverbs 6:2 also says - "Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth...

E.W Kenyon and T.L Osborn puts it this way:

"You said that you could not, and the moment you said it, you were whipped. You said that you did not have faith, and doubt rose up like a giant and bound you.
You talked failure, and failure held you in bondage."

This is very true. Believers should never talk defeat. We should never talk failure. 

But on the other hand, talk about Jesus, his love for you and the great promises God has in stock for you.

Two Mistakes made during positive confessions

• Confession to Jesus instead of confessing to the mountain.

Jesus told us to rebuke our mountains, not to tell Jesus to rebuke mountains for us. God has given us the power to speak to our mountains. Let's use the power.

• Unscriptural Positive confessions

Positive confession that is unscriptural will not be honoured by God. it is mere ignorance. God honours his word. Many positive confessions nowadays are self confessions. They are not God's word, they are not LOVE confessions.
e.g. coveting another man's property, wife, job etc- God want you to have a car but don't covet another man's car. God will provide a companion for your not covet another man's companion e.t.c. Don't put that in your confession.

Things God wants us to Confess/Possess

• Confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9, 10), you will possess salvation.
• Confess "... with his stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5), and possess healing.
• Confess that the Son has made you free (John 8:36), and possess absolute freedom.
• Confess "... the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost ..." (Romans 5:5), and possess the ability to love everyone.
• Confess that "the righteous are bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1), and possess lion-hearted boldness in spiritual warfare.
• Confess that God will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5, 6), and possess the presence of God with each step you take.
• Confess that you are the redeemed of the Lord (Psalm 107:2), and possess redemption benefits every day.
• Confess that the anointing of the Holy One abideth in you (I John 2:27), and possess yoke-destroying results by this anointing (Isaiah 10:27).
• Confess that in the name of Jesus you can cast out devils (Mark 16:17), and possess dynamic deliverances over Satan's power.
• Confess that "they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:18), and possess positive healings for the oppressed.
• Confess that you are a branch of the living Vine (John 15:5), and possess Vine-life wherever you go.
