JESUS IS COMING!
Thank you for visiting Truth Pressure Ministries. Please share and help reach more people with the truth.
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.
I am a new creature in Christ. The old way has passed. All things are made new for me (2 Cor 5:17)
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 5:21)
I am redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal 3:13–14)
By His stripes I am healed (1 Pet 2:24; Isa 53:5)
I am an overcomer. The Holy Spirit lives in me and gives life to my physical body (1 John 4:4; Rom 8:11)
I am more than a conqueror (Rom 8:37; 1 John 5:4)
I have authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17)
My God supplies all my needs (Phil 4:19; 2 Cor 9:8; Ps 23:1)
I have peace that passes all understanding (Phil 4:6–7; John 14:27; Isa 26:3)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13; Mark 9:23)
My future is bright. I walk by faith, and not by sight (2 Cor 5:7; Prov 4:18)
The love of God has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit. I am patient and kind. I am not proud or boastful. I don’t behave rudely or in an impolite manner. I am not self-seeking. I am not easily provoked, and I pay no attention to a suffered wrong. I think no evil. I don’t rejoice in iniquity, but I rejoice in truth. I believe the best of every person. I am faithful. I trust God. I never fail. (1 Cor 13:4-8; Rom 5:5)

There are angels, right now, assigned to every believer on the planet. They are present and ready, commissioned by God with specific instructions. They are assigned to believers as ministers to help them, yet many remain idle. They are not idle because God hasn’t given them something to do; they are standing idle because we have not yet given them the thing they need to become active in our lives. They are waiting for something they have a right to respond to.
The Believers’ Voice
The thing they are waiting for is not a prayer formula or some special anointing. It’s not a certain level of faith or spiritual maturity reserved for the spiritual elite. The signal they wait for is God’s Word given voice through the believer.
God’s Word coming from our mouth is one of the ways we access Heaven’s help. For many of us, the reason we have not experienced this dimension of supernatural assistance is not that God has withheld it; it is that we have not been taught how to access it.
Let’s dive into the Bible and build a solid foundation for this truth to rest on.
Psalm 103:20-21 Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. 21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
Angels operate in response to the voice of God’s Word. And when we give voice to the Word of God, angels hear and respond.
We know they exist. We see them throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Yet many think of angels as figures who only appear to people like Abraham, Daniel, Mary, or Peter, but not active participants in our daily lives.
This kind of wrong thinking and wrong believing can rob the Church of one of the powerful revelations of our covenant inheritance. Scripture depicts angels as active, ongoing servants of God, sent here to minister on our behalf. They are not on vacation, and they have not been decommissioned. They are at work right now, or at least, they should be.
When angels are not working in our lives, it is not a failure on the Lord’s part; it is often a failure of understanding on ours. We have not been taught the Word concerning the ministry of angels. Without this understanding, we can leave an entire host of angels standing idle while we try to fight spiritual battles in our own natural strength.
We have tremendous power and help available to us if we will just activate that help. God did not send us into the world unarmed. He gave us His Word, His Spirit, His blood. the authority of His name, and His angels.
Angels are activated by words spoken through the lips of the believer. These words must align with God’s Word, or angels have no legal right to help us.
Without the Word of God on our lips, the angels have no instruction to carry out. They are waiting for their marching orders, and those orders come through believers giving voice God’s Word.
As born-again believers, filled with the Spirit, equipped with a Bible, and authorized to speak in the name of Jesus, we become the voice of God’s Word on the Earth. When we open our Bibles and confess, “By His stripes we are healed,” (Isaiah 53:5) that is the voice of God’s Word. When we declare, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” (Psalm 23:1) that is the voice of God’s Word. When we stand against demonic attack and declare, “No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17), that is the voice of God’s Word. When angels hear it, they respond.
They respond not because we command them directly, but because they are already commissioned by God Himself to respond to His Word wherever and whenever it is spoken.
Hebrews 1:13-14 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
This describes their assignment with undeniable clarity: “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”That is us. We are the heirs of salvation. They have been sent to minister, to serve, to help, as agents commissioned by God.
When we speak the Word of God over our circumstances, we are not only encouraging ourselves, feeding our spirits, and strengthening our faith. We are engaging in a spiritual activity that the angelic realm recognizes and responds to. The angels are not moved by our needs, or our emotions. They are moved by the Word of God given voice from the lips of a believer.
The Word of God must be spoken. It must leave our lips and enter both the natural and the spirit realms as a declared present reality.
The angel responded to Daniel’s words
Daniel set himself to pray and fast for twenty-one days, seeking understanding from God. On day 21 an angel appeared and said something remarkable.
Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.

Notice what the angel said: “I have come because of your words.” Not for his fasting, not because of his need. He came because of his WORDS. We see from the story that the angel was dispatched on the first day. The delay was not on Heaven’s side. Daniel 10:13 explains that a demonic principality resisted the angel’s efforts to help Daniel. Yet the activation of the holy angel being sent was triggered by Daniel’s words.
This is not an isolated Old Covenant practice; it is a spiritual principle that operates across every dispensation. The angelic realm responds to words. And if that was true for Daniel under the Old Covenant, how much more for us under the New Covenant?
The Power of the Tongue
There is a sobering side to this truth that we must not overlook. If our words can activate angels when we speak God’s Word, what happens when we speak words that contradict His Word? Words of fear, words of doubt, defeat, complaint, and unbelief? What happens when we give voice to those words? Proverbs 18:21 tells us plainly:
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
The same tongue that can commission angelic activity can summon demonic activity. Our Words have profound impact on the spirit realm.
James 3:13-16 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
Pay close attention to this passage. If you have bitterness, envy, or selfishness in your heart, James is instructing us “not to boast and lie against the truth.” In other words, if it’s in your heart, don’t let it come out of your mouth, because if you do, it is demonic, unwise, and confusion and every evil work are then present.
If we are complaining, gossiping, boasting, or lying, we become a landing strip for demonic influence and demonic activity. But it goes much deeper than that. If we speak anything against what God has prepared and provided for us, devils have a right to steal it or hide it from us.
Practically speaking, when we wake up and say, “This is going to be a terrible day,” devils are listening. If we look at a concerning medical report and say, “This is going to kill me,” devils are listening. If we are facing a financial crisis and say, “We will never recover from this,” devils are listening. In those moments we have spoken words that do not agree with God’s Word, and they do not give holy angels clear instruction, but they do give devils a legal right to try and make that come to pass for you. Death and Life are in the power of our tongue.
Jesus Spoke, Then Angels Ministered
We can also see this principle practiced in the life of Jesus. When He was tempted in the wilderness (Matthew 4). He did not argue with the devil, He spoke the Word. Three times the enemy came with temptation, and three times Jesus answered, “It is written.” Then Matthew 4:11 records, “Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.” Notice the order. The Word was spoken and then angels came to minister. The Word was the weapon; the angels were the reinforcement that followed to back up the spoken Word.
Jesus defeated the enemy with the spoken word. If the Son of God relied on the spoken Word as His primary weapon, then the spoken Word is not merely one option among many for us. It is a primary instrument of spiritual warfare, and it is a primary way the angelic realm is mobilized to minister on our behalf.
God is not withholding angelic assistance from us. He has already assigned His angels. He has already given His Word. He has already placed the authority of the name of Jesus on our lips. The whole provision is in place. What is often missing is our voice, our confession, our willingness to speak God’s Word over our lives, our health, our families, our finances, and our future.
Psalm 91:11-12 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
The assignment has been given. And as we walk in covenant with God and speak in agreement with His Word, angels receive clear direction to minister in the ways God intends.
We need to reshape the way we speak. Angels are assigned to us; they are present, powerful, and ready. And they respond to the Word of God spoken by believers. Every time we confess what God says about a situation, we are placing our hearts and our mouths in agreement with Heaven. Every time we give voice to fear, doubt, or defeat, we leave our angels without clear instruction to help us.
We must bridle our tongues. Words are the steering wheel of our lives. They can activate angels, or they can activate devils. They can bring life, or they can bring death.
JESUS IS COMING!
