Release Your Faith With Your Words

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:10

The apostle Paul is saying by the Spirit of God that with the heart you believe unto the reality of God’s Word. In other words, when you get a revelation of God’s Word in your heart, it becomes real to you. God’s Word is alive, quick and powerful, and feeding on it causes Jesus and the things of God to become real and alive to you.

But there’s something else in this verse to understand. Paul is also saying by the Holy Spirit that with the mouth, confession is made unto the manifestation, or experience, of God’s Word.

When you believe the Word, it becomes real. When you say it, it manifests. If you say it without believing it, it isn’t real to you. If you believe it without saying it, it isn’t manifested for you. But when you believe and say the Word, it starts working in your life.

We like it when God’s Word becomes real in our spirits. But there’s something about having it actually manifest in our lives that makes it more enjoyable yet. It’s walking in good health, it feels good to “feel good”!

Do you want to experience the manifestation of God’s promises in your life? Then continually speak His Word with your mouth. That’s how you release your faith. You see, you can have a heart full of faith, but it won’t do you any good unless you release it.

It’s like having a bank account full of money. That money won’t do you any good unless you spend it. In the same way, after you fill your heart with faith by feeding on the Word, you have to spend, or release, it by the words you speak. Fill and spend. That’s how you keep your faith working for you!

CONFESSION:

I feed on God’s Word, and it becomes real to me. I speak forth God’s Word, and it manifests in me! The Word inside me produces healing in my body as I release my faith and proclaim His goodness.
