God’s True Word

Luke 1:38,37, Amplified Bible

Then Mary said, Behold I am the handmaiden of the Lord; let it be to me according to what you have said (your word, KJV)….

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.

Hebrew 11:11, Amplified Bible

…(Sarah) considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word.

Personalized Confession:

I am like Mary and Sarah.  I consider God Who has given me His Word, His promise to be true to His Word.  He is faithful to His Word and to me with His Word.  I can rely on what He says.  He is not a man that He should lie.  I can trust Him.  What He says He means and He means what He says.  Let it be done unto me according to Your Word.  For with You God, nothing is impossible, and not one Word of Yours is without power or impossible of fulfillment.  Every Word of Yours is full of Your power and waiting to be fulfilled in my life.  Thank You, Lord, for Your powerful Word working in my life.

It Is Written

Matthew 4:4, Amplified Bible

It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

Personalized Confession:

I live by God’s Word.  My life is upheld and controlled and sustained by the Word of God.  My spirit man is fed the Word of God as I feed bread to my body.  Both of them sustain me, one physically and one spiritually.  I live by every word that comes out of God’s mouth.  His Word is my very life.  Without His Word I cannot live effectively in this world.  I feed on God’s Word day and night, that I may think like Him and talk like Him.  I am so grateful for Your Word, Lord.  It is what keeps me going when life gets tough.  It is what keeps me joyful when life is good.  I feed on your word in the good times and the bad times.  When I stay focused on your word, there are no bad times, only opportunities to overcome the challenges that come my way.  Thank You Lord for Your Word.  Without it, I can do nothing effective in this earth.  Only Your Word will last forever for me.  Your Word is eternal.

Of His own will begat He us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

The Word Of God Is Alive

Hebrews 4:12,13, Amplified Bible

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

Personalized Confession

The Word that God speaks is alive and full of His power, and His Word is alive in me and full of His power.  His Word is life to me.  It brings His power to my life.  God’s Word is effective in my life and operating to bring me into line with His ways and His thoughts.  His Word is full of His life energy and fills me full of Himself.  That Word is penetrating to the very fiber of my being, the deepest parts of my nature.  And His Word analyzes my thoughts and the purposes of my heart.  His Word exposes that which is not of Him, judges it wrong, and corrects the wrong.

Thank You, Lord for being there with me at all times through Your Word in my heart.  Holy Spirit, I am so grateful that You are making Your Word alive in my life.  Your Word is my teacher, my guide, my director and the leader of my life always.  Thank You for the Life of Your Word.

The Word Was God

 

John 1:1-4,14

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.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

Personalized Confession:

The Word is God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by Him, Jesus the Word (Revelation 19:13), and without Him was not anything made that was made.  I was made by God, the Word.  Since I was made by the Word, the Word sustains me and keeps me.  As I speak God’s Word, His Word is activated in my life.  Jesus The Word was made flesh and dwelled here on this earth.  He came to bring the Truth of the Father and of the Kingdom of God.  He is in me because I am born again.  Jesus, the Son of God, the Word of God, my Redeemer, my Savior, my soon-coming King dwells in me.  Hallelujah!  I have the Word dwelling in me.  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and He is in me (John 14:6).

The Word of God

I have been studying scriptures on the Word of God over the past week and would like to share a scripture a day with you concerning God’s Word.  You know that when all else is gone and all else fails, His Word will remain.  His Word must be our solid foundation.  You know that His Word is grounded in His Love.  God is Love.  Faith, which comes from hearing God’s Word (God speaking to you down inside your being from His written Word), works by Love.  Each day, take the scripture we print and think on it all day.  Build a solid foundation.

Hebrews 11:3

…the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Personalized Confession:

Since God framed the worlds by His Word, I can frame my world by His Word.  I frame my world by the Word of God, so that things which are seen are not made of things which do appear.  I call those things which be not in my life yet, as though they were, and they will become.  My life, which is my world, from now on will be framed by God’s Word and not my negative words or the negative opinions produced by the words of others.  God’s Word is the picture frame of my life.  And inside that picture frame, He has painted a perfect picture of me with His Word.  I see that picture now and choose only to look at His picture of me the rest of my life.  His picture of me is perfect, mature, and beautiful.

The Fruit, Forces Of The Spirit

 

Today’s confession may seem long to you, but I believe it all fits together.  Confess this word every day of your life to become a more Christ-like person.  It will change you every day.

 

Galatians 5:16,18,22,23,24,25, Amplified Bible

I am born again.  Therefore, I have the Holy Spirit living in me, with all His fruit or the forces of His Spirit residing in my spirit.

I walk and live habitually in the Holy Spirit.

I am responsive to, controlled by and guided by the Holy Spirit.  Then I will not certainly gratify the cravings and desires of my flesh, my human nature without God.

I am guided, led by the Holy Spirit.  I belong to Christ Jesus, the Messiah and have crucified the flesh, my godless human nature, with its passions and appetites and desires.

I live by the Holy Spirit and walk by the Spirit.

By the power of the Holy Spirit I have my life in God.  I go forward walking in line, my conduct controlled by the Spirit.

 

The fruit of the Holy Spirit in my spirit, the work which His presence within me accomplishes, is love, joy, peace, patience or steadfastness, gentleness, goodness, faith or faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.  These are forces that come out of my spirit and produce Godly results in my life.  Out of the abundance of my heart or spirit, my mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).  As I give voice to God’s Word, it releases the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus in my life and the lives of others whose lives I touch (Romans 8:2).

 

Romans 5:5 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Amplified Bible

Because the Holy Spirit dwells within me, His love, the Love of God has been shed abroad, poured out in my heart.

Therefore, through the power of the fruit or force of God’s Love in my heart:

I endure long and am patient and kind because God’s love in me endures long and is patient and kind.

I am never envious nor boil over with jealousy because God’s love in me is not envious or jealous.

I do not boast nor am I vainglorious because God’s love in me is not boastful or vainglorious.

I do not display myself haughtily because God’s love in me is not haughty.

I am not conceited, arrogant and inflated with pride because God’s love in me is not conceited, arrogant or inflated with pride.

I am not rude or unmannerly and I do not act unbecomingly because God’s love in me is not rude or unmannerly.

I do not insist on my own rights or my own way because God’s love in me does not insist on its own way.

I am not self-seeking, touchy, fretful or resentful because God’s love in me is not selfish, touchy, fretful or resentful.

I do not take an account of the evil done to me nor do I pay any attention to a suffered wrong because God’s love in me does not take account of evil done to Him nor pay attention to a suffered wrong.

I do not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but I rejoice when right and truth prevail because God’s love in me rejoices when right and truth prevail.

I bear up under anything and everything that comes because God’s love in me bears up under all things.

I am ever ready to believe the best of every person because God’s love in me believes the best of every person.

The hopes of God’s love in my heart are fadeless under all circumstances.

I endure everything without weakening because God’s love in me endures everything without weakening.  God’s love in me never fails, fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end.

The Spirit of Faith

2 Corinthians 4:13

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

I have the spirit of faith.

I believe; therefore I speak.

I believe in; I trust in; I rely on; I cling to You, Lord.

You are the source of my strength and power.

It is You on Whom I rely and in Whom I build my confidence.

Thank You for taking care of me in all that I do.

I trust You completely with my life.

God’s Total Care For Me

Hebrews 13:5-9, 15, 20, 21, Amplified Bible

God Himself has said to me:  I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support.  I will not.  I will not.  I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down, relax my Hold on you!  Assuredly not!  So I take comfort and am encouraged and confidently and boldly say:  The Lord is my Helper.  I will not be seized with alarm.  I will not fear or dread or be terrified.  What can man do to me?

I am convinced that God exists and that He is my Creator.  He is Ruler of all things.  He is the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ to me.  I lean my entire personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, His wisdom and His goodness because Jesus Christ is always the same yesterday, today and forever.  My heart is established and strengthened with God’s grace.  His favor and spiritual blessing are mine.  They are upon me.

Through Him I constantly, at all times offer up the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.

He is the God of peace (wholeness in every area of my life, with nothing missing or broken).  He is the Author and Giver of peace.  He is the One Who brought my Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, from among the dead by the blood that sealed the everlasting covenant, agreement.  He strengthens me, completes me, perfects me.  I am filled with His fullness, having no deficiency.  He makes me what I ought to be and equips me with everything good so that I may carry out His will, while He Himself works in me and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be the glory forever and ever.  Amen, so be it!
