Christ-centered, Cross-centered Confessions and Declarations
“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:20-21
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue” –It is definitely biblical that the words we speak affect our lives in a big way. ”Death and life” certainly are in the power of the tongue. But only the Almighty determines what is truly death and what is truly life. Modern deceivers have cleverly capitalized on this truth by leading people to confess such self-serving things as shown below. This is what they teach – that man is his own god and in control of his own destiny. Below is a sample motto prayer of the self-serving person who is using the LORD and the Gospel as means of personal gain:
“I ______________ am a child of the King of all kings and as such am financially prosperous. Everything I lay my hands to is blessed and prospers abundantly. I am becoming a millionaire. People love me and are drawn to me. I _______________ am anointed to make money and have everything my heart can desire….. Money cometh……Jesus was a rich man and I can be also!!!….I _____________will have favor and success in all I do…..my faith will allow me to escape all trials…..”
Friend, there is some truth in this confession but it is also laced with poisonous self-idolatry which was the sin of Lucifer who has become Satan – the eternal foe, forever cast away from the Almighty. Ever notice they never include anything about being cleansed of sin and iniquity, taking up the cross and being crucified with Christ? How convenient. Ever wonder why they conveniently leave such foundational Bible doctrines out of their teachings? Read 2 Timothy 3:1-7 and 4:2-4 and you will see exactly why they purposely omit such necessary divine truth.
WHEN to depart: “Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge” (Proverbs 14:7).
To seek to use God’s Word divorced from a genuine relationship with Him, is to operate in unmitigated sorcery/witchcraft/divination, by using words to procure for ourselves things He has not necessarily set forth for us to have. It is the mantra of those who vainly believe they are their own little gods and are in control of their own destinies and universe. This is all done in the name of the LORD, which means those who do such use His holy Name in vain and are therefore under His holy wrath.
Here’s the test of whether this is true or false: Are there 2 or 3 Scriptural witnesses? Do we have record of any of the apostles of Jesus or Christ Himself saying anything remotely coinciding with such? The answer is a resounding “No.”
Below is a sample confession that might be prayerfully spoken by the true disciple, who wants nothing more than to bring glory to His Master – Jesus. Since “death and life are in the power of the tongue,” why not confess His Word like this?
“According to the command of God, I _______________ am this day crucified with Jesus Christ and His resurrection life teems within me, raising me up in His grace and power. This day, I am dead and my life is hid with Christ in God. I am not my own but bought with the ultimate price of the precious blood of my LORD Jesus Christ and am today being conformed to His holy image as the Father has predestined. According to the grace given to me of Christ, I _____________ will not seek to elevate but rather deny myself, take up my cross and follow my LORD Jesus Christ. My life is laid down and being spent in the worship of the one true God, which includes esteeming others above myself. As He enables, I will build up His beloved saints – feed His sheep – and communicate His Word in love to others that they might be found of Him. Every penny I have is a gift from You LORD and I will joyfully use as much as possible for the furtherance of Your eternal kingdom, willingly choosing to be a cheerful giver. I rejoice today to suffer shame and persecution for Your holy Name, Jesus. Thank You for bleeding and rising again for me. This is the day that the LORD has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it as I set my affections on things above and not on earthly things. This mind will think only on those things which are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, virtuous, and of good report. Heavenly Father, into Thine hands I commend my spirit and beg You to breath Your life into me and live through me. I love You Jesus. As Christ enables by His holy grace, I _____________ will live this day in fervent expectancy of the soon return of the King of all kings and LORD of all lords who is eternally the blessed Creator and only holy Potentate (supreme Ruler) of all. Amen.”

POSITIVELY CONFESSING GOD’S WORD
Message from Todd: The Forward Momentum of our LORD’s Gospel

Beware of the Crown Stealers! [video]

by Glenn and Dezi Langohr
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
In the next teaching we are going to go over all of PAUL’S WRITINGS that false teachers manipulate.
False teachers today — OSAS, Hyper-Dispensationalists, Free Gracers, and Pretribbers — are crown stealers . They twist Paul’s writings to promise a salvation that requires no endurance, obedience, or holiness. But Jesus and Paul speak the same Gospel . Jesus warned through parables: some hear the Word with joy but fall away in tribulation ; servants who neglect their calling are cut off ; virgins without oil are shut out of the wedding feast ; unprofitable servants are cast into outer darkness . These mysteries of the Kingdom reveal that salvation is conditional — not “once saved, always saved.”
Paul confirmed the same truth . He warned believers not to believe in vain (1 Cor 15:2), to run the race and fight the good fight of faith (1 Cor 9:24; 1 Tim 6:12), to hold faith with a good conscience or risk shipwreck , and to lay hold of eternal life through endurance. He declared that believers can be cut off if they do not continue in God’s goodness (Rom 11:22). He said Christ could be hindered from being fully formed in the heart (Gal 4:19). He exhorted believers to test themselves to see if they were truly in the faith, warning that without Christ in them, they would be reprobates (2 Cor 13:5). He even named names FOR CAUSING OTHERS TO SHIPWRECK THEIR FAITH LIKE PRETRIBBERS DO— Hymenaeus, Philetus, and Demas FOR FORSAKING PAUL DURING PERSECUTION FOR A LOVE OF THIS PRESENT WORLD — DEMAS was a fellow laborer with Paul so let that sink in. Paul preached the full counsel of God (Acts 20:27), the same Kingdom Gospel Jesus proclaimed, not a new “Paul’s gospel.”
Revelation seals the testimony . Jesus calls His churches to repent, endure, and overcome — warning that names can be blotted from the Book of Life (Rev 3:5) , crowns can be stolen (Rev 3:11) , and lukewarm believers will be rejected (Rev 3:16). Seven blessings are promised to the faithful: eating of the Tree of Life, the crown of life, hidden manna, authority to reign, the first resurrection, entering New Jerusalem, and eternal life with God. But alongside these blessings are terrifying judgments : beast worshippers tormented forever, Babylon’s fall, the great white throne, and the fearful and unbelieving cast into the lake of fire. The conclusion is clear: endure, overcome, hold fast — let no man steal your crown .

The Power of His Might Ephesians 6 [podcast]

Ephesians 6:1-2
CHILDREN AND PARENTS; SERVANTS AND MASTERS by FB Meyer
“Where our religion is true, it will affect every relationship in life. The love of Christ must find its manifestation in nursery and in kitchen, in workshop and in municipal chamber. But notice that its duties are reciprocal. We must give on our side, just as we expect others to give on theirs.
The first duty of children is obedience. They must be taught to obey because it is right, and their conscience bears witness to the rightness. Never plead with a child to do what is right, nor bribe it by a reward. Take your stand on that primeval sense of right and wrong, which is the foundation of morals and will be the stay of the child’s whole after-life, when once its supremacy is established. But parents should help their children by removing irritation or passion from their own speech. Slaves formed a large proportion of the early Church. Their obedience must be explicit, and they were taught to believe that Christ took their faithful service to their earthly owner as service to Himself. But masters must ever deal with their servants as liable to be called to account by the great Master of all. The center of all authority is Christ, and He will demand an account of our treatment of every servant He has sent into our homes.”
Charles Pray writes:
“This is the main thing God wants to teach us-that this is a spiritual battle that we fight. You can read in the King James Bible, in 2 Chronicles 20:1-29: “The battle is not yours, but God’s.” Sometimes if we are to succeed and win victory, the Lord has to be the one to fight the battle. This is the way it must be to win the victory over sins. Only through what God has done can we win the victory. We cannot redeem ourselves from our sins. We have no price we can offer. Amen!”
Biblical Duties for Employees/Bosses
The word “purloining” is a King James Bible word that comes to mind….
“Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10 Not purloining (stealing), but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” Titus 2:9-10
Greek for “purloining”
G3557
νοσφίζομαι
nosphizomai
nos-fid’-som-ahee
Middle voice from νοσφί nosphi (apart or clandestinely); to sequestrate for oneself, that is, embezzle: – keep back, purloin.
Total KJV occurrences: 3
Purloin
PURLOIN, verb transitive
1. Literally, to take or carry away for one’s self; hence, to steal; to take by theft.
eg: Your butler purloins your liquor.
2. To take by plagiarism; to steal from books or manuscripts.
Where the Real Battle Rages, Ephesians 6:12
The Whole Armor of God
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;” Ephesians 6:10-18
In our country, it’s Satan who wants us defenseless – unable to defend ourselves. In spiritual battle, it’s also Satan who wants nothing more than for believers to leave the house every morning without suiting up with the armor of God!
Defensive and Offensive Weaponry
Our military can defensively strike down missiles etc. There are also many offensive weapons which can blow up enemies as is witnessed by the footage of American fighter pilots targeting terrorist operations by strategically firing and perfectly guiding heavy bombs into enemy targets…buildings. etc.
Hebrews 4:12:
The Word of God, “the sword of the Spirit” is divinely powerful, bringing great destruction (Jer 23:29; 2 Cor 10:3-5); bringing offensive weapons for the inner man (John 15:3; Eph 5:26); and for evangelism) Lk 8:11; 1 Pet 1:23; Is 55:11).

Prepared and Powerful [podcast]

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and
over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down,
and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to
plant.” Jeremiah 1:10
God has a plan to remove that which does not belong in you
and to establish what does.
- “to root out” (destructive)
- “to pull down” (destructive)
- “to destroy” (destructive)
- “to throw down” (destructive)
- “to build” (constructive)
- “to plant” (constructive)
When Jesus cleansed the temple, after rooting out the evil, He then installed the purity, prayer, praise, and power (Matthew 21; John 2).
God has His order. One thing comes before the other.
Those who submit to death and burial, stripping, will be blessed to be prepared, raised up…..
Root out, pull down – high and low, God’s wants to rid us of the things that do not glorify Him.
2/3rds – Death, burial, then resurrection. As is the case throughout Holy Scripture, the cross is represented here… and then the resurrection. The divine cross economy is represented here. First we must be dead and buried and then the resurrection. Romans 6 He breaks us down before building us up.
I must be dead and buried with Christ in order to then be raised up by Christ.
“Our old man needs demolished! It cannot be reformed! Its whole foundation is rotten! God says it must be plucked up by the roots. Pulled down, destroyed, thrown out! Then He comes in and builds a new foundation. (1 Corinthians 3:11, Col 2:7). Otherwise our foundation is made of only sinking sand! And great will be the fall (Matthew 7:24-27).” Karen Cochran
The Cross Economy Pattern Seen throughout Holy Scripture
“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10
“Tried” – death and burial
“come forth as gold” – resurrection
God has to do a work in us before He can do a work through us.
Joseph
David
Isaiah
Peter
Paul
John
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:19-22
Jesus had to first be crucified on the cross and buried before the Father raised Him up in resurrection victory. The resurrection is God’s answer to death and burial. The must be a death and burial before there can be a resurrection.
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10
Read Psalms 51 prayerfully.
WHEN the Word is flowing in and through your life like a river, it will cleanse like a river! A full-scale embarking on studying and walking in God’s Word will cleanse you and establish you in divine truth!
“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:2-3
Dabbling in the Word is like a mere trickle in contrast to devouring His Word daily and having His fountain of living waters flowing into your vessel, your life.
“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalms 92:13
God is working in the hearts and lives of each of His people and He requires and expects our personal participation. He has to root things out of us, every one of us, before He begins building and planting in us. Get to know Jeremiah 1:10 closely. “LORD change me” is a great daily prayer.
We didn’t make up the terms. GOD did. We repent and obey or perish. Be engaged in His plan to cleanse you.
Those who are submitted to God truly are bowing down in death and burial and about the Father’s business.
“All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14
If you are not about the Father’s business of the Great Commission, it’s because you are not choosing to be truly submitted to the LORD.
Prayer: Holy Father, I ask You to change me. Do Your deeper work in my life. Here this moment I lay my life in Your hands. Have Your way dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
