FAITH AND YOUR CONFESSION !

FAITH AND YOUR CONFESSION ! Use your faith as far as you can to the point you are developed. Then there will come a day when you will be like the man I referred to who confessed his healing while he was taking his medicine until he had before manifestation. Let me give you another example. A piece of property was available right next to the minister's office. He made an offer on it, and it was turned down. He thought it was a decent offer. The real estate lady said, "I believe you will eventually get it. I'll be keeping an eye on it." After he made the offer, he went out and walked around the piece of property. He talked to it. He spoke to it, just like Jesus said in (Luke 6). "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock." (Luke 6:47-48). Here Jesus prophesied that if you do His sayings, then when the storms of life come they want shake you. The minister did just what Jesus said --- he talked to it. He said, "Talk to the sycamine tree; speak to the mountain." (Luke 17:6; Mark 11:23). So he walked around that piece of property and talk to it. This is a principle of the kingdom of God that is with in you the born again believer --- calling things that be not as though they were. He said, "Ground, I am talking to you. I called you into the ministry. Jesus said you would obey me, so I say that you are mine, in Jesus name. I called you into this ministry." He just walked around and talk to it; he claimed it with the promise of God. He said, "You come to me, in Jesus name." As he walked over the property, not only did he talk to it, but he also prayed. "Father, he said I claim this piece of property, and I asked you to cause it to come to me. I have spoken to it; I have done everything I know to do concerning it. I have made the man a good offer and it is a fair offer." He never prayed about it again. But he confessed, and thanked God that he received the property. Every time he went past it, he would say, "You are mine. Come to me, in Jesus name." One morning several months later, he and his wife went to work and there was a big sign on that piece of property that said, "Future Home of the Production Credit Association." He went in the office and asked his wife "did you see that sign out there on our piece of property ?" She said, "Yes, I saw it." He said, his head gave him trouble over that sign. Just as Peter had trouble when he got out of the boat and begin to see the wind and the waves, he thought about it. In fact, he talked to his wife about it. He said, "maybe I ought to go talk to those people about that piece of property." He was thinking it may get away. His mind kept bugging him about it. Finally one morning as he was walking through the house he realized what was happening. The enemy was trying to him all his faith with that sign. So he just holloered out loud, "I know what I'll do. Nothing ! Jesus said It would camp that obeyed me." In that particular case, his corresponding action was to do nothing. It would have been foolish to go down to the courthouse and say, "I want to file a claim on this piece of property." They would say, "where is the deed ? You can't record the deed until you have possession of it." "Well, it's not manifested yet."
