Hearing, Believing, and Speaking
Romans 10:8-10 (NKJV) But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): [9] that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This not only applies to our initial salvation, but anything we need from the Lord comes the same way (Col. 2:6).
Jesus has already purchased salvation and all its benefits for us. It's already done. We don't have to pray and ask God to heal us or prosper us. It's already a done deal. We just need to rest in what has already been provided. There is a place we can reach where we aren't striving to get God to bless us, but are resting by faith in what has already been done.
I received salvation by what I heard, believed, and confessed. I receive my healing by hearing the Word and believing in my heart and speaking with my mouth.
Everything I need comes by speaking with my mouth what I believe in my heart. I can speak faith-filled words to my problems (Mk. 11:23). Instead of talking about my problems; I confess the promises of God in faith.
