Have you ever had to say something that didn’t feel true because it didn’t match your reality?
It’s like when you’re sick in your body and the Bible tells you to say, “by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). It doesn’t feel true because you’re not physically healed just yet, so it can be challenging to keep saying it without any evidence, right?
That’s kind of the point. You don’t see the evidence yet because you’re speaking it into being. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.
You’re supposed to speak it before you see it, not see it before you speak it.
Did you catch that?
You’re supposed to speak it before you see it, not see it before you speak it.
If I wait to see evidence of my miracle before I claim it for myself, that’s not faith anymore, is it? It’s just a statement of fact. But when I speak it before I see it, it’s a statement of faith.
As believers, “we walk by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). That means that what I speak has to influence what I see, not the other way around.
Your miracle is in your confession because the words you say determine the reality you experience. Just waiting for your life to change before your words change is waiting for the wrong thing. You have the power to shape your life, and that power is on your tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
So, what are you saying today, and is it helping or hurting your life?
Because you see, your healing is in your confession. Your deliverance is in your confession. And your joy is in your confession.
You can’t afford to let how you feel shape your life, because how you feel is information, but what He says is revelation.
How you feel is information, but what He says is revelation.
That’s why a single prophetic word has the power to change your life if you run with it. When the Lord speaks a prophetic word over you, He’s giving you a hint of your future according to His plan and His Word.
When you confess it over yourself even when it doesn’t make any sense and nothing is changing, you’re putting your faith in what He says, not in what you see.
This is how you “walk by faith and not by sight”. You believe His words, His promises, and His love over your fear, your pain, and your trials.
You speak what He says over you and back it up with His written Word, and then the life in His Word becomes the life in your world.
That’s why the enemy bombards you with things to distract you and make you speak the opposite of what God promised you. That’s why it’s so easy to grumble and complain when your miracle takes longer than you expected and you become discouraged or weary.
But when you remember that you can open your mouth and simply repeat what you’ve been promised until you see it, you take heart and keep going because you have your eye on the promise, not the process.
What about when you are confessing all the right things and life get worse? Does it mean you don’t have enough faith or you’re doing it wrong?
No, it means you’re on the right track. I once heard that opposition is often toughest before dawn, which means that the fight is hardest right when you’re on the cusp of breakthrough.
You keep speaking life anyway because you’re releasing the life in the Word over yourself until it permeates and transforms your life. Yes, it’s challenging when your confession doesn’t match your situation, but they’re not supposed to match at first.
If they were already exactly the same, why would you need to contend for your breakthrough?
Because that’s what you do when you keep speaking life, you know. That’s what you do when you refuse to allow your information (feelings) change your revelation (His promises).
The revelation is always greater than the information, because information can change, but revelation doesn’t.
And that’s why your miracle is in your confession. That’s why your destiny is in your confession.
You can choose to focus on how you feel, what you see, and how unfair or painful it all is, or you can fix your eyes on Jesus instead. You can repeat His promises to you instead. And you can build up your faith by speaking the Word out loud over yourself again and again until your situation matches your confession.
It’s like building a house. Every word you speak is a brick that builds what you really believe to be true for you.
Based on your current circumstances and your confession, what do you believe to be true for you?
I pray that you’re able to rise above your circumstances to claim the promises you’ve been given.
I pray that you continue to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
And I pray that you speak the life in His Word until it becomes the life in your world.
Very interesting and encouraging. It means dat hope, faith and believe to declare d word without fear nor doubt be accomplished. Hmmm! Not so easy but may d Almighty God grant us d fruits of d holy spirit as in patience/wait on d Lord and long suffering. I believe if we have these, his word shall work on us by his mercy.
