CONFESSION OF THE WORD


Father in the name of Jesus, we confess the Word of God dwells in us richly. Your Word shall not depart from out of our mouths. We mediate in your Word day and night. We diligently act on your Word; therefore, we are prosperous and have good success. We exalt and esteem your Word.

We give the Word first place in our lives. We make our schedule around Your Word! Your Word is Truth and forever settled in Heaven; therefore, we establish Your Word upon this Earth. Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. It is quick and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword. We have hidden Your Word in our hearts that we might not sin against You. We plant the Incorruptible Seed of Your Word in our hearts. It is abiding in our spirits, growing in us mightily, and producing Your nature in our lives.

Satan we bind you. We will not allow you to steal, hinder, or cause us to reject the Word of God. We have life, happiness, joy, and peace because we believe with our hearts and say with our mouths, "The Word of God is the answer."
