From Acceptance to Approval: Living a Life That Pleases the FatherSample

KEEPING YOUR CONFESSION OF FAITH

One of the hallmarks of a maturing believer is the ability to hold fast to the confession of faith without wavering. Hebrews 10:23 (KJV) urges us, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).” 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV) reminds us, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” Faith is not silent; it speaks. Faith is not passive; it declares boldly the promises of God even in the face of contrary circumstances.

Beloved, your confession is a vital part of your walk with God. It is not enough to believe in your heart; you must also speak with your mouth. Every time you declare God's Word over your life, your destiny, and your situations, you are reinforcing your faith and weakening the hold of doubt and fear. Maintaining a steady confession of faith is how you partner with God to bring His promises to pass. Sons and daughters who grow beyond acceptance into divine approval are those who do not allow the pressures of life to silence their voice of faith. They declare the end from the beginning, calling those things which be not as though they were.

I want you to learn that the confession of faith is not a magic formula but a powerful expression of trust in the Father's integrity. Make it your practice to align your words with God's Word consistently. Speak life, speak hope, speak victory. Let your mouth become an instrument of faith that shapes your future and glorifies the Father. No matter what you see or feel, hold fast your confession, for He is faithful who promised.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: Are your daily confessions reinforcing your faith or empowering your doubts? What deliberate steps can you take to ensure that your words align consistently with God's promises?

PRAYER: Dear Father, help me to guard my words and to hold fast the confession of my faith without wavering. Strengthen me to speak life, hope, and victory according to Your Word. Let my mouth be a channel that releases Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
