Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Pay close attention to what it says: For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

You see, believing alone is not enough. Believing alone doesn’t make it yours. You must also confess. With the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Stop reading right now and say it out loud. “With the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.”   Now look at verse nine.

Romans 10:9: that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Salvation is tied to two things: believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth. believing and confessing; faith and confession. That is the law of the Kingdom of God. That is how we got saved. That is how we will be healed. That is how we will be filled. That is how we will overcome any and all obstacles that would hinder us from our purpose.

Colossians 2:6-10 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

How did we receive him? By believing in our heart and by confessing with our mouth. How are we going to walk in him? By believing in our heart and confessing with your mouth. If we believe with our heart and never confess with our mouth, we will never see the fruit of our faith.

James explains it like this;

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Faith without confession is a dead faith. Faith is belief in the heart. But if we don’t add corresponding works to our faith, then our faith is dead. Why? Because confession is the sign of a living faith. Confession is faith’s action. Confession is faith’s work. There are other works that we can do to add life to our faith, but speaking is the primary accompanying work, and many times, it is the only work required to bring our faith to fruition.

When confession is made, then faith is released. Faith kept in the heart and never spoken, never comes to life and produces absolutely nothing.

Mark 11:23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 

Notice Mark doesn’t say we have what we believe. He said we will have what we say. Faith believes, but faith also speaks. And if it doesn’t speak, it is dead, incomplete, and it doesn’t work.  

If we would just take a little time to search and read the scriptures to find out what Jesus actually purchased for us by His own blood, we would know God’s will. His Word is His will. If we then take those promises and begin to declare them with our mouths, they will lift us out of darkness, out of sickness and into health. They will lift us out of fear and into boldness.  

Faith must be spoken. Faith is released through words. Faith is activated by speaking. And without confession, there is no salvation. Without confession, healing of any kind is elusive. Without confession, victory is not assured.

Biblical confessions that will change your life forever.

If you will put God’s Word in your mouth, it will get down into your spirit. And if the Word gets into your spirit and you keep it in your mouth, it will change your circumstances. Hallelujah.

We’ve seen from Romans 10:10 that believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth are two sides of the same coin. You can’t separate them. Faith is not just believing. Faith is believing and speaking. This is a spiritual law.

What is a law? A law is something that works the same every single time. A law is constant. Gravity is a law. You throw a rock up; it’s coming down every time. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, rich or poor, tall or short. If you throw the rock, the law of gravity brings it down. Well, Faith and confession is a law. It works for whoever will put it to work. The law of faith and confession will work for the sinner seeking salvation. The law of faith and confession will work for the believer seeking victory. The law of faith and confession will work for the sick seeking healing or the poor seeking provision.  

Let’s look at Mark 11:23 again for a moment.

Jesus said: For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 

Notice Jesus didn’t say you’ll have what God says. He didn’t say you’ll have what your neighbor says. He didn’t say you’ll have what the preacher says. He said you shall have whatsoever you say. That means if you say you can’t, then you can’t. If you say you’re whipped, then you’re whipped. If you say you’re sick, then you’ll stay sick. If you say you’re broke, you’ll stay broke. But if you’ll rise up and say what God says about you, if you’ll say, “I am healed. I am free. I am strong. I am blessed.” Then praise God, that’s what you’ll have. Confession is not just repeating words. Confession is the creative part of faith.

Confession is setting your tongue in agreement with Gods promises and that tongue sets the course of your life.

James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

Your tongue didn’t get born again when you did. It’s still tied to your flesh, and it has the same fallen nature as the devil, not the nature of God. This is why you must bridle that ungodly thing and force it to serve you and God’s purposes.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Words are seeds. God’s Word is the only incorruptible seed. So, the best way for you to “sow to the Spirit” is to speak His Word.

Speaking God’s Word over yourself is feeding and nourishing the incorruptible seed that is already in the garden of your heart. It is watering and feeding that seed, making it grow, making it strong. Establishing truth in your heart.

Job 22:28 You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

Our tongue is like the bit in a horse’s mouth. Like the rudder on a huge ship. Our tongue must be bridled so that we can steer our lives in the desired direction. Words are the steering wheel of our lives. James makes this very clear.

James 3:2-6 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

Your tongue is already predisposed to send you straight to hell. That isn’t going to change unless you change it.

Here are some Simple Confessions of Faith that will change your life if you faithfully declare them.
