HEART AND MOUTH

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and

with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. — ROMANS

10:10

It is always with the heart that man believes — and with the

mouth that confession is “made unto salvation.” When you

believe something with your heart and confess it with your

mouth, then it becomes real to you. Faith’s confessions create

realities!

For example, Hebrews 9:12 says, “Neither by the blood of

goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in ONCE into

the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”

Jesus will never have to do that again; He has already done it

once, and for all time. And Romans 10:10 tells us how we obtain

the reality of that salvation: By believing with the heart — the

inner man — and confessing with the mouth.

As you read some of the “in Christ,” “in Him,” and “in whom”

scriptures, it may not seem like you really have what these

scriptures say you have. But if you will begin to confess

(because you do believe God’s Word in your heart), “This is

mine. This is who I am. This is what I have,” then it will become

real to you. It is already real in the spirit realm. But you want it

to become real in this physical realm where you are living.

Confession:

With my heart I believe God’s Word; and with my mouth I

make confession of its promises and provisions. My faith

confessions create the reality of those promises and provisions

in my life. I am who God says I am — now! I have what God says

I have — now!
