Title: A Confession of Faith    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


It is important to speak what you believe.   Doing so brings it to pass.   

Manifestation is always a result of speaking the Truth.   

Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
We are washed in the Word Of The Lord and transformed from Grace to Grace by it.     

The implication for those not in the Word is that they are unsanctified and so, spiritually filthy.     

Worst of all, they may not realize they are filthy and in conflict with their Saviour.     

But for those in the Word, Abundant Life in power, peace, joy, faith and love manifests more and more.

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The Most High God is Christ Jesus.     

The Almighty is Christ Jesus.     

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my Lord; in him will I trust.
David had a revelation of Christ Jesus though he did not know His name.     
    This is true of every Old Testament saint.     
    The revelation was only in part and so those believers held some wrong concepts about the Lord.     
    This is why Jesus came in the flesh - to reveal the Truth about God.     

Jesus Christ is God.     

Everyone needs a refuge, a fortress.     Each of us must claim Jesus as our Lord and Saviour in order for Him to be so in our life.     

It is by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony that we overcome

Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Neither our enemies or pestilences can defeat us.

He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
We are in the Holy Spirit and He is in us.     We have the Truth, Christ Jesus, in us.     We are invincible.

You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flys by day;
Fear is the terror by night and it has been cast out by the perfect love of the Lord.     The attacks of the enemy will fail because we have the breastplate of faith and shield of salvation covering us.

Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Even darkness will not enable any pestilence to thrive against us.     The evemies that come against us with a full frontal assault will fail.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
The thousand and the ten thousand represent those who attempt to live life apart from the Lord.     They will fall, but we who are In Christ will prevail.     

Do not look at the statistics.     They are liars.     The Word Of The Lord is Truth

Believe the report of the One who loves you, who gave Himself for you, the One who is not only your Saviour but is also your healer and your comforter.

Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
When the Great Tribulation falls upon the earth, those who have the Seal Of God will not be touched by it though we see the destruction happening to the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;
The Most High God is Christ Jesus.     

When we abide in Him and His words abide in us we can ask what we will and it will be done.     

There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
The protection of the Lord is upon us who are In Christ.

For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
His angels are ministering spirits and they will protect us from the enemy.

They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
We are protected as we trust in the Lord.

You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
Fearless is the nature of those who have put their trust in the Lord.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
When we turn to the Lord Jesus and not only receive His love but begin to love Him back we are delivered from every bondage, fear, sickness and disease.     

What is His name?     Jesus.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
The Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus is Eternal Life and our Lord imparts His life to us who receive Him through faith.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
This is a statement of fact as are all the verses in this psalm.     It is is an affirmation of our situation by Grace Through Faith in Christ Jesus.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name`s sake.

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.
Assurance of safety and comfort in the face of trouble.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Not only provision in peace but also in the face of attacks through which the power of the Holy Spirit will give us courage and victory.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
The amazing Grace of the Holy Spirit through faith In Christ Jesus will never leave us.     Our place is In Christ, in His Holy Spirit Father, in heaven where we now abide spiritually and will one day abide in full redemption.

I will praise you, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.
Everything that we are and ever hope to be is a gift from the Lord.     So, all things are to His glory and praise.

I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
The Lord is our Creator, our benefactor, our friend, our Saviour, our King - our very life.

When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
The Lord loves us and will give us victory over our enemies.     We will overcome by His power.

For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
When we trust in the Lord, He justifies us.     He is our advocate and our high priest.

You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.

O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
Jesus will put an end to Satan and his children

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
The Judgment is coming.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
During the dispensation of Grace, while the enemy is extant, the Lord provides deliverance and victory.

And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, Lord, have not forsaken them that seek you.
What is the Lord`s name?     Jesus.     

It is in Christ Jesus that we are redeemed, recreated and made heirs of the kingdom.     

He gives us His Holy Spirit who never leaves or forsakes us.

Sing praises to the Lord, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
For the Lord`s salvation we are eternally in debt, but we praise Him for the quality and magnitude of His amazing love.

When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
The Lord knows every injustice and is ever attentive to heal and restore while reserving His wrath for The Judgment.

Have kindness upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
We all are constantly experiencing the mercy of the Lord.     But there are times when the battle is hot and prolonged.     The Lord will bring victory.

That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
When we are delivered we are to testify of the Lord`s work on our behalf.

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Those who break the Law Of The Lord will be broken by it.

The Lord is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.     Higgaion.     Selah.
The Lord`s judgments are just.     
The wicked however twist judgments to favor themselves and their comrades.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget the Lord.
This is the Law Of The Lord and it is immutable.     

Understand that hell is a destination of destruction, misery and death.     This verse is telling us that every nation that forgets the Lord Jesus Christ will fall into destruction, misery and cease to exist.     

Hell will be cast into the Lake Of Fire at The Judgment.     

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Under Grace the Lord provides for His people though they may be persecuted by the wicked.

Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
The Judgment is coming.

Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.     Selah.
Those who set themselves above the Lord as did their master, Satan, will be destroyed in the Lake Of Fire.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!     who have set your glory above the heavens.
What is the name of the Lord?     Jesus

It is in Jesus that we know the truth about His Holy Spirit, only some of which David was aware.     

Christ`s glory is higher than the glory of His creation - heaven and earth.     He is more glorious than we can imagine.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
Palm Friday is prophesied here.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
The Lord not only created all things but He instituted the laws that govern the rotations and movements of the heavenly bodies.

What is man, that you are mindful of him?     and the son of man, that you visit him?
Relative to the Lord we are nothing, yet the Lord has ordained us to be like Him.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.
Though we are born of flesh, the Lord has crowned us with glory and honour by pouring Himseld into us through the baptism of His Holy Spirit.

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:
The Lord Jesus Christ gave Adam dominion over all of His creation on earth.     

Adam surrendered that dominion to Satan.     

The Lord Jesus Christ took back that dominion through His blood sacrifice for our sins.     

Our Lord Jesus has given us dominion over the whole earth as His stewards.     

When Jesus returns He will take the throne of dominion back from the enemy who stole it from His stewards.

All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
Beasts of the field are subject to man.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.
Flying animals and those of the sea are subject to man.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
What is the Lord`s name?     Jesus.     

And the Holy Spirit has excellently revealed Himself to us through our Lord Jesus Christ.
