The Power Of The Overcomer "The Power Of Confession pt 2"

In the last blog we began talking about the power of being an overcomer. Jesus said in this world we will have tribulation, BUT be of good cheer I have overcome the world. Notice the word but is like right in the middle of his statement. The word but cancels out everything that was said before it and the only thing thats important is what comes after. we are overcomers in him. This is the reason we see Jesus repeat the phrase over and over in the book of Revelation to HIM THAT OVERCOMES! In the last blog we saw that the power of confession is very important and intrical element of us overcoming. Jesus confessed the word in the wilderness, the shunamite woman said it is well, Danial perservered through twenty one days of warfare and the angel said that it was his words that they had need of. At the end of the blog we began talking about the spirit of faith. We having the same spirit of faith believe and therefore SPEAK! The Lord said out of the mouth of John we overcome him by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony(Rev 12:11) Is confession important? You bet! Remember young David a shepherd boy in the field. Hes like mending the sheep and begins to hear goliath mocking the men of God. He than rose up and SAID who is this uncircumcised philistine? Already we see the carriers of faith called words spring into action. His older brother began to mock and pester saying Who mending te sheep? He didnt care about the sheep. He was upset that his little brother had the boldness that he and the rest of the forty thousand caustious cowards did'nt. Lets look at first Samual sevenenteen and see the many times where it declares and DAVID SAID. David SAID(1 Sam 17:29) David SAID(1 Sam 17:32) Daid SAID(1 Sam 17:34) David SAID(1 Sam 17:37) Than David SAID(1 Sam 17:45) look at the amount of times the word mentioned David Said! Speaking it out is no small thing! Faith comes by hearing but its released through saying. However as seen earlier must flow from a heart of abundance of the word. Why was it that he had so much confidence going against goliath? Its because he had the bear and lion. In other words the confession into becomes the confession unto. We see clearly that his words were intrical and we also see the opposition that attempted to come up against them. God calling Abram Abraham was important in the fulfilling of our destiny. Moses REFUSED TO BE CALLED the son of pharoahs daughter(Heb 11:24) Does it matter what we allow ourselves to be called? YES! We will never rise above the conssions we make over our lives and situations. The book of Proverbs gives us one verse after another dealing with how they will bless or curse build or break. Lets look at a few. There is that cuts like the piearcing of a sword but the tounge of the wise is health(Prov 12:18) A righteous man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth(Prov 12:14) He that keeps his mouth shall keep their lives(Prov 13:3) The lips of the wise shall preserve them(Prov 14:3) A wholesome tounge is a tree of life(Prov 15:4) Pleaseant words are sweeter than honeycomb sweet to the soul and health to the bones(Prov 16:24) Death and life are in the power of the tounge and those that love it shall eat the fruit thereof(Prov 18:21) He that keeps their tounge keepeth their soul from troubles(Prov 21:23) In the book of James were given an awesome and amazing analogy of the power words and the way their guide and govern our lives especially in the midst of conditions and circumstances. It descibes a ship being driven by fiearce winds. The ship represents our lives. It says that it'll go in the direction of the governor. You and I through his authority is that governor! Our lives can be bridled by our tounge just a wild hoarse can be with the bit in its mouth. In the next blog we'll continue on in James and talk about ways to tame the tounge.
