We Get What We Say

For a long time, I had been confused over the fact that in my life and the lives of others there was a continual sense of defeat and failure. I read about Hebrews 4:14 which says, "we are to hold fast to our confession."

What confession are we to hold fast; the absolute integrity of the Bible. I am to hold fast to the redemptive work of Christ. I found it difficult to hold fast the perfect healing when I had pain in my body.

I had been making two confessions. I had been confessing the absolute truth of God, and yet I was making a confession that I was not healed.

If someone had asked, "are you healed?" I would have said yes and yet I would have said that I have pain in my body. The second confession nullified the first one. I had two confessions which were opposed to each other.

Faith holds fast to the Word of God. Sense knowledge (the pain) holds fast to physical evidence. If I hold fast to sense knowledge, then I nullify the Word of God.

When storms come, many Christians give into the sense knowledge; and that knowledge is not of God but of the adversary. Everytime you confess sickness, weakness, defeat; you magnify the devil over God. You destroy your faith in God.

You are to hold fast to your faith and your confession. You are to study the Word so you know what your rights in God. Blessings and hang strong in the Word and victory will be yours.
