When Confession Feels Like a Chore
In last Friday’s service, God reminded us that our words matter! He had me revisit James chapter 3 and Proverbs 6:2. Both of these passages of scripture place great emphasis on how we end up in situations, circumstances, or even defeat by releasing our agreement, knowingly or unknowingly, by our vocal response. I am convinced that many things we face are due to us not keeping watch over our mouths. How much could we avoid if we simply kept our opinions, complaints, emotional outbursts, or words of frustration about ourselves (or our children) silent? Have we settled for just saying what we see/currently have over what we really want?
You might say, “But I am confessing… I’ve been confessing… I’m tired of confessing….” Well, my advice to you is—KEEP CONFESSING! I get it; we’ve all been there. If you lose sight of the results you want, confession becomes a chore. In Matthew 14, we read about how Peter asked Jesus if he could come out to Him on the water. Jesus said, “Come.” Peter had his eyes on the end result of what he desired. What happened to Peter when he began to look at the situation around him? He began to sink and cried out to Jesus to save him. In my opinion, Peter walking on the water was an absolute miracle, but it was never complete. He started well, but ended up focusing on the wrong thing. Peter lost the joy and excitement of what he wanted most, and he was on his journey of accomplishing it—until he took inventory of his present state.
There may be areas in your situation that appear like your confession isn’t producing, but if you could see through the lens of faith that you are spiritually walking on water, you would see that you are making tremendous progress! Keep your focus on what you asked for, not on what is going on around you. Confession is to help you release real Bible faith. Removing the sense of “religious obligation” from confessing the Word begins with being rooted in your relationship with the Father. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that faith pleases God, but when confession is separated from the Word, faith can quietly give way to works. True confession is not striving—it is believing. Always remember that there is joy and peace found in believing (Romans 15:13).
I encourage you today to evaluate what you are confessing. Has it lost its excitement or joy? Start fresh with a renewed vision for what you are asking God for. Take a step back and ask: Have I released faith filled words to change current situation? Have I kept joy in my confession while believing by declaring the end from the beginning?
It’s easy to get back on track—just use your words! Begin right now to speak good things over your situations. Refresh the vision of what you desire and allow your confession to turn into manifestation!
