Dutch Sheets shares with us in his book, Intercessory Prayer, that “The word in the New Testament for ‘confession’ is homologia, which means ‘say the same thing.’
Biblical confession is saying what God says – no more, no less. If it isn't what God is saying about a situation, it does nothing.
But if it is what He says, it accomplishes much.
God’s method of reproducing or bringing forth life is His Word by which we are: born again (see 1 Pet. 1:23), cleansed (see John 15:3), matured (see Matt. 13:23), freed (see John 8:31, 32), healed (see Ps. 107:20) – as well as many other results.
When God speaks His word, He is sprinkling seeds that will bring forth.
The Word of God is never ineffective; it will always produce.
When we speak God’s Words into situations, as the Holy Spirit directs, we are sprinkling the seeds of God, which then gives Him the ability to cause life to come forth!
Plant your own personal garden. Tend it well. See if God’s Word won’t produce a harvest. Re-present the victory of Calvary from your mouth.
Job 6:25 (KJV) reads: “How forcible are right words!”
[Father, may I be aware of what You're speaking to me, and may I be ready to share, once I understand Your directions are clear to me.]
