Hebrews 13:5-6 (KJV)
5 "............for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee so that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
God reveals His will to us so we may with our own words boldly agree with Him. However, the confession of God's word doesn't first lead to external changes but it goes within us as a two-edged sword piercing deep into the dividing asunder of our soul and spirit, a place that has been termed as your subconscious mind. Paul calls it the spirit of your mind.
The piercing effect of God's word into one's consciousness is one of the most satisfying feelings to the human soul. You feel the power of God entering your being and you are supernaturally lifted. The effect of the entrance of the word on your soul is as the sweetness of honey to your taste buds.
Once we begin to confess God's word the pressure is turned on. This is called temptation and satan wants to get us off our confident expectation. He throws things at us to dissuade and discourage us.
It is at this point we must know our limitations. Like Jesus said to Peter watch and pray lest ye fall into temptation. We must keep our watches and also pray.
We come up to the throne of Grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Mercy and grace are poured forth in answer to our supplications.
One of the things that happen is grace opens our eyes to see God's way of escape out of the pressure. He begins to lead us within by the Spirit. He writes His laws in our minds and hearts and this brings us to the place of obedience to the faith.
Our faithfulness in maintaining our confessions and prayer will cause us to know what we ought to do. You may not hear an audible voice instructing you to take a particular action, but there will be impressions in your heart. Do whatever He impressed in your heart
Many people are confessing but disobeying. The key to your confession is your obedience to God.
The results won't take long if you start obeying.
When the commander of the universe impresses something in your heart, just obey. You don't know more than him.
