HOLD FAST TO YOUR CONFESSION !

HOLD FAST TO YOUR CONFESSION : "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our profession, or our confession" (Hebrews number 4:14). Here is where so many have missed it. Most people hold fast to the problem or situation. They hold fast to the sickness or pain. We are to hold fast to our confession of faith. Our confession should agree with the Word of God. If it doesn't, it is a confession of unbelief because it agrees with the devil. The confession of your mouth, even after you have prayed correctly, will determine whether or not you receive. If you have prayed and asked God for something, and then say, "I just don't know what I am going to do; it's just not working out," you blew it ! You counselled your prayer or your saying. That crap will not work for you. Hold fast to the confession of your faith. "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our profession, Christ Jesus" (Hebrews 3:1). Actually in Greek the word for profession means "confession." Your confession is your profession ! So we are to consider Jesus Christ, the Word as the High Priest of the confession of our faith. I don't know what that means to you, but here is what it means to me: when I pray or say speaking faith filled words concerning the things I desire, I can see Jesus, seated at the right hand of God the Father, nudging the Father and saying, "He is holding fast to the Word, saying the same thing you and I said; He is returning Your Word to you. Now let's perform it just the way he said." Jesus confesses to the Father what I say or pray if it agrees with the Word of God. But if I say, "Lord, I have prayed and it is not working out," He cannot say, "Father, he has prayed, but it is not working out." The Father would say, "Those are not my words--- who said that ? Doesn't he know that I said he could have whatever he says, evening prayer ?"
