“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3

 

Hebrews Chapter 11 is, without question, the Hall of Fame of Faith. From the Old Testament to the New, we see men and

women that changed the destiny of their generation through a solitary promise from God. Each person began their journey with nothing more than a promise, but during the course of their life, the promise materialized as God delivered substance to their faith.

 

The purpose of this confession manual is to frame our present world for Jesus, beginning with our own lives. When Jesus was

in the wilderness, He defeated the devil with the Word of God. In fact, the entire Kingdom of Heaven operates and revolves around the spoken word of God. However true, we have failed to realize that the power of the Word comes forth by the process of it developing into maturity within our hearts. Mark 4 declares that the word enters into us as a seed, but through its prevailing power, it matures into a tree shooting out great branches so that others can come and partake from them. Although true, there are certain strongholds or systems of thoughts, behaviors and reactions that resist our development in God. It is my desire to see God’s Word brought forth into a state of maturity in every believer’s life. To do that, we must consistently confess the Word daily.

 

Wisdom is building Her house and hewing out Her seven pillars. Prov 9:1. We have specifically chosen this selection of scriptures in James 3:17, in order for the Holy Spirit to build the House of Wisdom within us. The House of Wisdom represents God’s blueprint of character development within our lives. I believe that God’s greatest desire is for us to be transformed into His image through the renewing of our minds. The Lord once said to me, “My people limit the process of character development to the furnace of testing and trials. However, I would much rather have them exercise the authority of their tongue through the spoken word.”

 

In this present, fast paced society of instantaneous gratification, fast foods and deadlines, we find little or no time to give to

earnest prayer. So, in order for God to move us higher into Him, He is usually left with the process of tribulation and trials simply because were not offering Him any alternative. However, there is a better way. I have found that offering the authority of “the tongue” on a consistent, daily basis, gives the Holy Spirit the “hammer and nails” to build the House of Wisdom; or for that matter any other promise pertaining to our inheritance. In conclusion, I must warn you that in reference to Mark Chapter 4, you have an adversary who has established a highly regimented army with only one mission to steal, kill and destroy any attempts of the word maturing in your heart. My prayer and desire is that by this time next year, the Word will be rooted, grounded and established firmly within your hearts, and that it may bring forth the conqueror that God has predestinated you to be.
