WHY THE POWER OF CONFESSION OF FAITH WORKS : WHY THE POWER OF CONFESSION OF FAITH WORKS Litmus test of true faith is no “fear, anxiety or stress”
Matt 6:25-33
Take no thought is being anxious or stressed
He said, take no thought by saying what: Shall we eat?, drink? or be clothed with?
Faith always stops at the question mark. Do not speak those things that the enemy is trying to give you.
Luke 1:7,11-18, 20
Slide 4 : Law of Faith
Mark 11:23 whosoever shall say, not doubt, but believe he shall have whatsoever he says.
Matt 21: Evidently you can have faith and doubt.
Doubt can enter you head and not effect your faith, but if it enters your heart it will paralyze your faith.
Ex. Mary - Luke 30-34, 38
Whatever gets in your heart comes out of your mouth and whatever you say YOU SHALL HAVE. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Words create images II Pet 1:3. We already have all things this is the image God wants us to have.
Faith is the only way to access grace from God.
Slide 5 : Many NT believers spend a lot of their time asking God for things that he has already given them.
Q. Why don’t I have them if he’s given them?
Because you haven’t called for them. Or Acted like it was already yours. (i.e. God already deposited everything we will ever need into an account but you must make your withdraws)
Luke 7:2-9 faith can be heard.
Rom 3:27 the law of faith is how we became righteous. Declared righteous, we stand before God as if we never sinned; w/o sense of guilt or inferiority.
Rom 10:9-10 The law of faith works the same in every area of life. Sozo= save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, make whole.
Slide 6 : Essence of all matter
Why it works.
All matter breaks down into atoms.
Matter is what physical objects are composed of. Anything that occupies space and mass and is composed of atoms. (Atoms are the tiny particles that come together to make up matter.)
Scientist have concluded that all matter is made up of sound waves.
Slide 7 : We are living in a world made up of sound waves and ruled by sound waves. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. God said … and it was so, God said … and it was so! That was Jesus the word. He told us, Say, believe, doubt not in his heart, but believe what he is saying, he shall have whatsoever he says. Mark 11:23
