CONFESSION - Faith’s confessions create realities! When you believe something with your heart and confess it with your mouth, then it becomes real to you.

Confession With the Heart and Mouth


Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:10
It is always with the heart that man believes – and with the mouth that confession is “made unto salvation.” 
When you believe something with your heart and confess it with your mouth, then it becomes real to you. 
Faith’s confessions create realities!
For example, Hebrews 9:12 says, “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”
Jesus will never have to do that again; He has already done it once, and for all time. 
And Romans 10:10 tells us how we obtain the reality of that salvation: By believing with the heart – the inner man – and confessing with the mouth.
As you read some of the “in Christ,” “in Him,” and “in whom” scriptures, it may not seem like you really have what these scriptures say you have.
But if you will begin to confess (because you do believe God’s Word in your heart), “This is mine. This is who I am.
This is what I have,” then it will become real to you. It
is already real in the spirit realm. But you want it to become real in this physical realm where you are living.
Confession: With my heart I believe God’s Word - the Bible; and with my mouth I make confession of its promises and provisions. 
My faith confessions create the reality of those promises and provisions in my life. I am who God says I am – now! I have what God says I have – now!
Would you want to have a deeper relationship with God?
To experience God as a personal, caring, loving Father, you have to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. You become a child of God and begin the fulfillment of the reason you were created by God.
Say the following prayer:

“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you.

I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to you.

Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.

I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank you that according to your Word, I am now Your child, and I am born again.

Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. Please use me for Your glory.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.”

lyrics
1  I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing the mercies of the LORD.
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness your faithfulness;
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness to all generations.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.
