Confessions From The Word
My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. (Psalm 119:172 NKJV)
Why Should We Confess the Word of God?
When we meditate on God’s Word, and continually confess it over our life, it will renew our mind just as God instructs us to do in Romans 12:2. When our mind is renewed by God’s Word, what the Word says about us and our situation becomes our new reality. Confessions from the Word of God are vital to our Christian life.
This isn’t positive thinking. This is renewing our mind according to what God says about us and our situation. Through meditation and confession of God’s Word, our faith grows stronger and we overcome the trials and adversities in our life more and more.
7 Reasons Confessions Are Effective
- You build your faith in God and in His Word. Faith is complete trust, confidence and reliance upon God.
- You develop a deeper understanding and clarity of God’s Word.
- You will use God’s Word wisely as you deal with your affairs of life.
- You believe God’s Word literally and not just words on a page.
- You develop boldness by knowing the reality of who you are on the earth. You are a child of God.
- You will understand that God’s Word is alive and powerful.
- You empower the angels to go to work on your behalf.
How to Confess the Word of God
- Insert your name, The other person’s name, or the situation where it says to in the brackets.
- Speak the confession out loud so your ears can hear what you are confessing. This is effective for two reasons. First, God designed us so that our mind will always stop and listen to what our mouth says. Second, because our mind always believes what our mouth says.
- Do this regularly throughout the day, days, or even weeks. However long you need to confess God’s Word to believe it.
- This is not something you just try. Make a commitment to do it for the rest of your life. It will change your life and your perception of life.
I have included a list of confessions from the Word that I use personally. You can take the Word of God and find His promises for your situation and make your own confessions.

Our Confessions:
Anointing
I Am Anointed Like Jesus

Jesus Is Anointed; I Am Anointed
The Scripture:

Now it is God who strengthens us together with you in Christ, and who has anointed us. (2 Corinthians 1:21 CSB)

The Confession:
The Holy Spirit anoints me just like He did for Jesus. I am anointed to preach and proclaim the Gospel to anyone I meet. Through this anointing, the Holy Spirit teaches me and gives me revelation. I cannot be deceived because of this anointing. Through the anointing I can do all things God has called me to do.

Tithing

You are suffering under a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing me. Bring the full tenth into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way,” says the LORD of Armies. “See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing for you without measure. I will rebuke the devourer, for you, so that it will not ruin the produce of your land and your vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit,” says the LORD of Armies. (Malachi 3:8-11 CSB)

Worry

Casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you. (1 Peter 5:7 CSB)

As I cast my cares on Christ today, I will magnify God’s Word in all that I do.
