Welcome to our blog Grace Waters. We intend to blog ideas and events of note which come up with reference to faith and our church, River of Life International Fellowship in Guelph, Ontario.
At River of Life we are in the middle of a faith series. Today's word of note has to do with our confession, with particular reference to our declaration: those charged words that come out of our mouth to influence our lives. We understand that the spirit of faith is two pronged: We Believe and We Speak. Today we focussed on what we speak, when we speak and to what we speak.
Ezekiel spoke to a mountain and to dead bones. Jesus spoke to the wind and the waves and also to a fig tree. Jesus also spoke to dead people, raising them to life. In our humanity we tend to speak what our circumstance dictates, yet we are called to a life of faith: "The just shall live by faith."
If we believe God and His promises then we must speak his promise in our lives, we must declare them and not the adverse circumstances we face from time to time. We are encouraged to be like God, who made us in His image, who calls those things that are not, as if they were. By faith we believe that the worlds were framed by the word of God and what exists came out of what did not exist, by His word.
May our confessions be full of the faith we profess. We speak because we believe!
