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 (2 Corinthians 4:13).
It’s not enough to merely believe; your believing must be followed by your bold confessions of faith. Our opening verse didn’t say, "I spoke trying to believe"; rather, it says, "I believed, and therefore have I spoken." Faith works from inside out. Romans 10:10 says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Believing is with the heart; but with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. That means you must speak with your mouth, that which you’ve believed in your heart. If you don’t believe, speaking will not change anything.Faith is more than just believing; it’s giving voice to your believing. The principle, as observed in our opening scripture, involves a continuous action. You’re to keep talking your way forward and upward! You’re to keep talking yourself up all the time—in divine health, wealth, progress, increase, success and victory! You’re to believe and keep speaking what God has said concerning you, your job and your family.
Some parents don’t understand this principle. They call their kids all kinds of wrong names: "Block head"; "Good for nothing"; that’s wrong! Don’t believe and speak such words about your kids. Talk them up! Tell them "Fear nothing; you’re the best. You’re a bundle of success going everywhere to happen!" If you’re a parent, believe and speak such words about your kids every day, because your words are powerful.
Jesus said in Mark 11:23, "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." Believe and speak forth that which you desire in your life, and you shall have what you say.
Confession
My faith in God’s Word, amidst all opposing circumstances, is the victory that overcomes the world and every adversity. The Word of God that never fails is working mightily in me, causing my faith to be effective, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
