Don’t keep shut,
speak!
Many believers
don’t yet grasp the full concept of biblical faith, faith beyond believing to
giving action to what you believe, and the primary action of faith is speaking
out what you believe.
There is no such
thing as a quiet faith, you are either in faith and speaking out or you are
just mentally accenting to the word of God. When the word of God takes over
your spirit and you keep pouring on the word, faith will be birthed in your
heart and your confession will show it.
1 Corinthians
4:13. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believe
and therefore have I spoken. We also believe and therefore we speak.
The Spirit of
faith is a speaking spirit, and you are not yet in faith until you are speaking
out what you believe, attesting to the word of God concerning you. We cannot
overemphasize the need to speak the word of God when you are in faith, your
mind in the natural will try to reason out your faith and give you a thousand
and one reasons why your faith cannot work, and except your faith is a speaking
faith you are likely to give up on it when those thoughts begins to bombard
your mind. However, if you will speak out what you believe in faith and not in
fear, your mind from where those thoughts of doubts emanates will keep quiet to
listen to what your mouth has to say. Some people begin making confessions but
then give up when thoughts of doubts begins to rise up in their minds, no, you
shouldn’t give up at that point, rather you intensify your confession and bring
your thoughts under subjection to the authority of the word.
The moments you
are able to bring your thoughts in alignment with the confession of God’s word
coming out of your mouth, you are set for the manifestation of what your faith
is latching unto and it is only a matter of time before it finally manifest. If
you are sick in your body, the principle holds, take God’s word and find out
for yourself what it says about your health and start confessing it. At first
it may look like you are stupid, but don’t be discouraged, keep up the
confession until you have an inner image of perfect health, once you get to
that point your healing is certain.
If you are
broke, the principle still holds, take the word and start confessing what it
says about your finances to the point where your inner image becomes that of a
prosperous man, and you will definitely experience a turn around in your
finances.
If you are
having challenges in your family, on your job, in your academies, in your
business, the principle is the same, take the word and apply to any area of
need. Confess it till you have an inner image of victory in that area, then you
are set for a manifestation.
You may have
been cheated by the enemy for so long by keeping silent on your faith, but not
anymore. It is time to get your bible and flip through the pages to jot down those
scriptures that address your present condition and start confessing it. Like I
said earlier, it may not be easy, in fact it will not be easy because the enemy
will try to get you discouraged even before you ever get started and the
process of uprooting your former thoughts with your confession of the word may
take some time depending on how diligent you are with those confessions, but be
rest assured that this is a sure way to victory if you will only stick with it.
Make a quality
decision right now, don’t wait until another time, get your bible and a note to
take down those scriptures that deals with your area of challenge and begin
confessing right away. Your victory is at hand. I welcome you to an adventure
in faith!
