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 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. 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.

Making A Statement of Fact

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. -Titus 1:1,2

Someone may say, “If I say I believe I’m healed when I still feel sick, that’s a lie.”

No, it isn’t. Number one, it’s calling those things which be not as though they were. (Rom. 4:17.) If that’s lying, then God lies all the time, and He can’t.

Number two, it’s a statement of fact. If I say, I believe I’m healed, all I’m doing is telling you what I believe. However, if I say, “No, I have no symptoms in my body,” when I do have symptoms, that’s a lie. Or if I say, “I have $100 bills in my pocket,” when I don’t, that’s a lie. But if I say, “I believe I’m healed by the stripes of Jesus’ back.” I’m making a statement of truth because I do believe it.

You can believe anything you want to believe. If you choose to believe what God says above what the symptoms are telling you, is that a lie? No, that’s truth. When you say, “I believe I’m healed,” you’re making a statement of fact.

In His prayer to the Father, Jesus said, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). Then in Romans 3:4, Paul says, “Yes, let God be true, but every man a liar.” And Hebrews 6:18 states that it is impossible for God to lie. So when you choose to believe what God says, you come in line with the highest form of truth in the universe—the Word of God, which has been exalted above His name! (Ps. 138:2.)

CONFESSION:

I believe I’m healed. I believe God’s healing power is working in my body now, driving out every symptom and making my body completely whole!
