Spiritual Laws

The law of sight says, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” but the law of faith says, “Believe it and you’ll see it.”

Finally, there is the law of confession.

Confession is a compound word that means to “say together with.” In other words, to say what God says. It is not to simply think it, but to say it. I know that God looks on the heart, and that He knows what we have need of, before we ask, but I’m telling you, what you say nails it down.

You are always confessing something. You are ultimately either confessing faith, or you are confessing fear. If you are a Christian, why not just confess faith? God is still on the throne of heaven, and all the promises of the Bible are still there. I know if He has ever been good, He’s still good now. Psalm 56:3 says, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee (the Lord).” As Christians, we need to refuse to be in fear, and we need to practice not saying words of fear. We need to practice saying words of faith.

What we say is so important that Jesus said in Matthew 12:37, “By your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.” For those of us who are saved, according to Romans 8:1, we are now under no condemnation, but I believe there is a present day application of Matthew 12:37 for us, and that is we are blessed, or not blessed, by what we say.

God created by using words. He spoke it, and it happened. Our words are creative forces that nail down the thought processes of our minds. That’s why Romans 10:9-10 says, “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved, for with the heart man believes unto righteousness, but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Now, I want you to notice something about these spiritual laws: The law of confession operates under the law of faith; the law of faith operates under the law of love; and they all are inside the bubble of the law of sowing and reaping. Everything in life is under this law of sowing and reaping. You sow love, and you reap blessings. You sow faith, and you reap blessings. You sow a confession of faith, and you reap blessings.

God sowed a seed in a virgin’s womb and reaped the Christ upon this earth, who could live a sinless life and die a substitutionary death. God sowed His Only Begotten Son on the Cross of Calvary and reaped the resurrected King of kings and Lord of lords, who is now the “first born among many brethren.” God sowed the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers and reaped the salt of the earth and the light of the world, as we go forth in obedience to Him. God sowed gospel preaching into a sinful world and is reaping the whoever wills into His family.

Now, it’s your day to sow. This invitation is a time of sowing. I’m inviting you to come and sow your love for God, your faith in what Jesus did on the Cross, and your confession of faith in Him.
