Confessions........

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. I learned something really wonderful from the wife of the preacher at a church that I used to go to. She taught me how to confess the Word over my life and she had told me a story about how her husband was seriuosly addicted to cocaine and she just kept putting his name in Psalms 1:1-3 like this,
1 Blessed is Wendy who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But Wendy's delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law she meditates day and night.
3 She is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever Wendy does prospers.

Until eventually he cleaned up and became the pastor.


You can actually buy bibles now that are individualized with your own name placed in many of the scripture promises. Because we are in Christ, those promises belong to us too. They are our heritage and our inheritance. When I rededicated my life to God in 11/01/2001, that was one of the first things that God showed me. He showed me how that deep inside of me deeper than just relating to or empathizing with people in scripture who went through things, we were apart of each other. Paul even commented in many of his passages that he knew that he was writing for a people far off and also in the future. He knew he was writing for us.

Such as knowing that in our genetic line spriritually we are connected to the Children of Israel, to Peter, or to David and so on...God says that the word is for our correction and our reproof. We are supposed to read the word as what it is: A love letter. Every single page is written in love to guide, teach and admonish you in love. So it goes without saying that it makes sense for you to put your own name in the promises.

So here are a few confessions that I make daily and maybe you could sit down and think of some things that you wish to come to pass in your own life and find the scripture for it and make that confession in faith everyday believing that God definately grants requests according to His word and that His word does not go forth and come back void.

My confessions here will not have the scripture reference after them, but you can look them up on http://www.biblegateway.com/ (my fave bible site and most of my verses will come from the amplified edition whichis also my favorite) to get their ref. in many different bibles.

Some are put in my words as this is the way that I started and yet others I have dug out especially for some of my friends who visit my blog, these are scriptures that will be helpful in your circumstances, when you read them you will know which ones are yours, hide them in your heart and confess them as yous.

The way that I cam across my own confessions was by just sitting down with God and really being sensitive to the Holy Spirit guiding me concerning areas of weakness or areas that I just needed to reinforce or be reminded of by the renewing of my mind. I was also looking at what I personally needed in my life to call for in faith.

Beginning with this: You have taught me how that by the Word of Your lips I can keep me from the destroyers paths, You hold up my giong in your paths and my foot does not slip. (You can keep you! That's exactly what the word says that by your own words from God's word, you can keep yourself from the destroyers path) This is maturing in the Word. This is not milk.

Bible gateway is an awesom resource for this. I enjoyed speaking some of these things over my life and then being able to go back and check them off (OCD) as they came to pass. You can see how faithful God truly is.. Loving, WEndy>;<
