Law of Confession – Lesson 1: The Power of Your Words

Discipleship Training
“The Law of Confession”
Lesson 1 – The Power of Your Words

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Hebrews 11:3

One of the most fundamental keys to creation is the Word of God. The universe was framed by the “word of God,” this planet was designed to be a Word planet. God used his words (spiritual things that are not seen) to create the physical universe (natural things that are clearly seen). We can look for a detail account of such in Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14-15, 20, 24, 26.

When you review these passages, you note that after you read “And God said” you will read, “and it was so.” This informs us that what God says happens. If He said it, you can bank on it.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:11

Fundamentally speaking, the key to creation is speaking God’s word.

 

Good or Evil:
Words are the most powerful things on Earth. They can change and rearrange anything for good or for evil. Jesus provides us clarity on this matter.

“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:37

What we say does matter. Our words will justify us and bring blessings to our lives, or our words will condemn us and bring pain and sorrow. Therefore, we need to take heed to what we allow to exit our mouths because therein lies our destiny.

 

The Law of Agreement:
“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 18:19

Speaking in agreement with God and each other has always been God’s plan. God’s will for your words is first to agree with His Word, and then agree with someone else according to His word.

 

The Element of Time:
When we study the Law of Confession, it brings us into a new understanding of time. We are to be like God, and he lives outside of time. He knows the end from the beginning. When we pray and declare God’s word over our problem, we have more confidence knowing He knew what we needed before we recognized that we had a problem.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”
Ephesians 1:3-4

Biblical confession means we agree with God by saying what He has said, know He has already settled this thing before the foundation of the world. When you speak the Word of God you are declaring what is already real and present in your spirit. Everything you will ever need for your life on Earth is already yours in Heaven. Although the world has us programmed to say things based on what we see, we are admonished to speak based on what God has said in His word.

 

Our Assignment: Psalm 66:12; Joshua 1:5
We are to operate like Jesus operates. We aren’t subject to things like those who are not born again, be we are to live like Jesus did: in two realms. We live in the knowledge of eternal life and God’s eternal word. This is accomplished by using our words, which are both life-changing and world-impacting.

Change the words your speak, and you will change your life.
