healing-filled words again. HE, GOD,
creates the fruit of our lips! How? He does
it by making exceeding great and
precious, bloodbacked promises! I am
holding His words in my hand as I write
these Love-filled words to you. Do you
remember what Proverbs 18:20-21 SAYS?
20 A MAN'S BELLY SHALL BE SATISFIED
WITH THE FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; AND
WITH THE INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL
HE BE FILLED.
21 DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER
OF THE TONGUE: AND THEY THAT LOVE
IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF.
That also means a man's gas tank shall
be filled by the fruit of his mouth, or the
confession of His faith!
There are four confessions found in the
New Covenant beginning in Matthew
3:5-6:
5 THEN WENT OUT TO HIM JERUSALEM,
AND ALL JUDAEA, AND ALL THE REGION
ROUND ABOUT JORDAN,
6 AND WERE BAPTIZED OF HIM IN
JORDAN, CONFESSING THEIR SINS.
It's obvious that John was baptizing
Jewish people, and they were confessing
their sins.
The second confession in the New
Covenant is found in Romans 10:9-10:
9 THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH
THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND
SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT
GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE
DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
10 FOR WITH THE HEART MAN
BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS;
AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS
MADE UNTO SALVATION.
What is that? Harvesting the new birth!
Now let's look at 1 John 1:7-9, and we'll
see the third confession:
7 BUT IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, AS HE
IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP
ONE WITH ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD
OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSETH
US FROM ALL SIN.
8 IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NO SIN, WE
DECEIVE OURSELVES, AND THE TRUTH
IS NOT IN US.
9 IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS
FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US
OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM
ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
Praise GOD forevermore! He is faithful
and righteous to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse from ALL unrighteousness!
When? When we confess them! Not
when we feel better about it. That, dear
Partner, is harvesting divine forgiveness
after sowing the wrong seed! The key
here, as always, is faith when you pray!
Let's go back to the words of the Master
in Mark 11:22: "HAVE FAITH IN GOD"! Then
look at verses 23-25:
23 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.
24 THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, WHAT
THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE, WHEN YE
PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE THEM,
AND YE SHALL HAVE THEM.
25 AND WHEN YE STAND PRAYING,
