Let’s face it. We all have our struggles-But there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can live a life full of victory with the Lord Jesus. This past week, we focused on the subject of confessing the word. We must practice the meditation of God’s word in our lives regularly.
Ps 119:11 states that-Thy word (God’s word) have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee. When we think of sin, we associate it with Murder, Adultery, Child-abuse, etc. Yes, that is sin, but that is not all. To get a better picture, let's add unbelief, worry, and gossip, to name a few “permissible” sins tolerated in the church. Sin is sin, but we can live a life of victory in the Word.
We need to feed on the word of God. Jeremiah 15:16 says that thy words were found, and I did eat them. How do we eat the word? We do so by confessing and hearing it until it gets down deep into our Spirit. (Josh 1:8) At first, it may be boring. At times, your mind will wander as you perform this exercise.
A good rule of thumb is to start controlling your thoughts. Bind those distractive thoughts to the obedience of Christ and release his power by using the principle of binding and loosing. (Matt 18:18) Decide to focus your thoughts on the word.
Also, start praising the Lord before you meditate on the word. Jer 15:16 says in the later verse that it was the joy and rejoicing of his heart. Receive the word with a grateful heart. Do not look at the confession of God’s word as a burden; receive his word with joy.
It will prepare your heart to start the process of planting that seed. It may take a while to see a manifestation of God's promises, but do not give up! Diligence and patience are the key words to remember. Once you confess the word and put your mind to it, your growth will take you to new heights.
I recommend doing it for 30 days straight, avoiding distractions, and you will see some results. Afterward, do not stop; keep on confessing the word for as long as the Spirit leads-It can be an addictive experience. Enclosed I have included some helpful links below.
Join us on our Facebook page- The Christian Corner community church 56. God willing, we will have evening prayers on confessing the word Monday-Wednesday at about 11:45 pm. I am expecting to hear some exciting testimonies soon. God bless.
