Confession is Made unto Salvation – or Healing…..

Why do I need to confess the Word with joy and shouting when I am hurting, feeling really sick and helpless and in need of healing or health? The writer of Hebrews tells us in Heb. 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (or felt). During bouts of sickness I find that I have been like many other people who by focusing on the pain and agony they experience in their bodies  make their confession agreeing with the pain thus blinding themselves from God’s possible solution.  I have found we have several choices:

1.  Endure the pain and try not to focus on it hoping it will soon leave,

2.  Seek the care of a doctor finding and taking medicine to get healed,

3.  Use my cultured faith, or build up and activate faith to believe in God’s Word to receive healing from His presence.

I have found there is a powerful correlation between our spirit and body and mind. If I can think a thought it has the potential to become a reality in my life. “As a man thinketh so is he.” Prv. 23:7a. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephs. 3:20-21. I never deny the pain by saying, “I am not sick, I am not sick.” Instead I say, “I am sick, but now in the name of Jesus, I allow His Word to heal me and I am recovering, or I am well. Thank you Jesus!”

The Apostle Paul prayed that the saints would be sanctified (set apart unto God) in their – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY. My spirit and God’s spirit in me work together  transforming my faith as I read or listen to the Word of God being spoken. My mind, will, and emotions which make up my SOUL will be changed and faith will arise to accept the Word of God as truth. As I confess the Word my body which responds to what I say will believe in what I say and I will be changed or healed.

“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Roms. 10:17.  Faith is not a feeling although it is a noun in this passage of scripture. Active faith is formed out of a hope in my heart, which once I release this activation it is described or identified by a different word – BELIEVE.  The Word alive in me becomes a FACT OF FAITH WHEN I BELIEVE.  Let us build and release active faith, our confession then is not with mere words, but faith in  the Word of God, Believing Faith, “I Believe, I am healed, I believe the Words Jesus spoke are true for me, I believe what I say comes to pass, I believe I receive my healing.” Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24:

22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].

²³Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

²⁴For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak.” (Luke 6:45b) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Roms. 10:8-10) The word saved here is also translated - healed.

Understand we live by faith and our confession secures for us its end result!  Activate your faith now – Believe the following scriptures and they will generate in you hope as you stand in FAITH PROCLAIMING GOD’S COVENANT PROMISES FOR HEALTH AND HEALING!

I will use Amplified (Amp) and the New King James Version  (NKJV) Bibles.

CONFESSIONS  FOR HEALING:

In Psa. 107:15 a reoccurring theme is a challenge to us all: “Oh that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!” (Amp).

Psa. 107:1-3 “O GIVE THANKS to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary, and gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, and the north and the south.”

He SENDS FORTH HIS WORD AND HEALS THEM AND RESCUES THEM FROM THE PIT AND DESTRUCTION.” (my caps)(amp.)

Psa. 1031-3: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME! (NKJV) vs 2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who HEALS [each one of] ALL YOUR DISEASES, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies; Who SATISFIES your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]!”

Ex. 15:26 “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I Am the LORD who heals you.” NKJV

I CONFESS:
BECAUSE I HEAR AND OBEY GOD’S VOICE AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS I KNOW GOD TO BE MY HEALER AND THE ONE WHO WILL PUT NO DISEASES UPON ME! ….I BELIEVE YOUR HEALING POWER IS RELEASED IN ME!

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is not variation or shadow of turning.” NKJV
