#9 How Faith Works - Part 3

Now that you have in your spirit and believe what the Word of God says about an area(s) of your life you need a breakthrough in, the next thing you have to do to exercise your faith is confess that Word over your life. In Genesis 1 you recall that God "spoke" everything on earth into existence. In Romans 10:9-10 the Apostle Paul tells that to be saved we must not only believe, but also "confess" with our mouth. Finally, in Mark 11:24 we are told that whatever we "ask" in prayer we have to believe we receive it to have it. And when you ask for something you "say" something with your mouth, or make a confession.

So for example if you need healing say in your knees and you've got in your spirit and truly believe it is God's Will for you to be healed according to Isaiah 53:5; I Peter 2:24 and 3 John 2, just to cite a few of the healing scriptures in the Bible (God's Word), you now confess that belief over your life according to Mark 11:24 believing we receive what we ask for when we pray for it, and 1 John 5:14-15 which tells us that if we ask anything according to the Will of God (His Word) we can be assured that He hears us and we will have what we ask for, your confession might go something like this - "Father, I have received and believe your Word in my heart (spirit) according to (state the scriptures you believe), and therefore believe without any doubt it is your Will for me to be healed in every area of my life, so I claim and believe I receive your healing in my knees right now, believing every cell, bone, ligament, ACL, MCL and every part of my knees are being fully  restored to the original condition you created them in and functioning perfectly just as you intended, and I thank you for this healing in Jesus' name. Amen". You make your confession out of your mouth based on the Word you believe in your spirit.

Now you're ready to exercise the third and last component of practically applying faith to claim the promises of God in His Word in your everyday life, acting or making movement on what you believe in your heart and have confessed out of your mouth, which we'll cover in the next Post.
