And now, sharing with you God's Word to winning life's battles through Bold Bible Living, Don Gossett with today's message, Words That Bring Victory. Words That Bring Victory is what I want to share with you again today. Let me give you what I have learned personally about the dynamics of praising God through speaking words.
[00:00:29] I call this what I confess I possess. I confess Jesus as my Lord. I possess salvation. I confess by His stripes I am healed. I possess healing. I confess the Son has made me free. I possess absolute freedom.
[00:00:49] I confess the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit. I possess the ability to love everyone. I confess the righteous are bold as a lion. I possess lion-hearted boldness and spiritual warfare. I confess He will never leave me nor forsake me. I possess the presence of God each step I take. I confess I am the redeemed of the Lord.
[00:01:19] I possess redemption benefits every day. I confess the anointing of the Holy One abideth in me. I possess yoke-destroying results by this anointing. I confess in the name of Jesus. I can cast out devils. I possess dynamic deliverances as a devil master.
[00:01:44] I confess I confess I lay my hands on the sick and they shall recover. I possess positive healings for the oppressed. I confess I am a branch of the living vine. I possess vine life wherever I go. I confess I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I possess the ability to stand freely in God's holy presence and in Satan's presence as a victor.
[00:02:14] I confess I confess I am the temple of the living God. I possess God dwelling in me and walking in me. I confess my God shall supply all my need. I possess then the supply of every need. I confess the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. I possess freedom from fretting or fearing about what to do. I confess commit thy way unto the Lord.
[00:02:44] Trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass. I possess assurance about God's guidance. I confess the words of Jesus. I give unto you power over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. I possess no fear of demons. I confess he which hath begun a good work in me will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
[00:03:14] I possess no fear of failure. I confess a thousand shall follow thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand. But it shall not come nigh thee. I possess no fear of trouble or evil. I confess the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. I possess no lack of material things. I confess should have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.
[00:03:43] I possess no fear of poverty. I confess and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season. And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. I possess prosperity from the Lord. I confess let the weak say I am strong. I possess strength and never do I say I am weak.
[00:04:11] I confess I am the Lord that healeth thee. I possess the healing power of the Lord for thee means me. I confess be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God that passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[00:04:40] I possess freedom from worry and anxiety. So that's the wonderful truth of what I confess I possess. And what you confess you possess. Thank God we are winners because we are confessors of God's word. And I've just shared with you 26 scriptures that give the declaration that you have what God says you have. You can do what God says you can do.
[00:05:09] And you are who God says you are. In my particular discipline I get up every day usually and I begin to speak these affirmations. You see the word affirm means to make firm. An affirmation is a statement of truth you make from the word of God. And the Bible says let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering. For he who is promised is faithful.
[00:05:37] Now the Bible has very few references about so-called positive thinking. But the Bible has hundreds of references about the power of words. When we speak this word with volume, with feeling, with conviction, enthusiasm. It even adds power to our affirmations. However, words weakly spoken have minimal results.
[00:06:03] And I want to share with you the following affirmations that I endeavor to make every day. It's a real faith builder for me. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Today I choose love instead of fear. I choose peace instead of conflict. I choose to be a love finder instead of a fault finder. I choose to be a love giver instead of a love seeker.
[00:06:31] I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. I feel healthy. I feel happy. I feel terrific. Yes, I feel healthy. I feel happy. I feel terrific. For let the weak say I'm strong. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am by his grace a man of God. He has cleansed me by the blood of Christ.
[00:07:00] My Father has filled me with his Holy Spirit. I am dedicated to my Lord Jesus. He enables me to be strong and powerful in him. I worship and serve him with all the divine energy he inspires within me. For greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world. By his grace I am humble, strong, courageous, full of faith, and powerful in the Lord.
[00:07:26] For if God be for us, just who can be against us? I'm a child of God. My Father has adopted me into his family. He has moved me out of darkness into the light of his kingdom. God's protective shield is about me. And he's providing every need of my life. For he says, my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
[00:07:53] As a result of what his word does, every day and every way by the grace of God, I'm getting stronger and stronger with an attitude that honors God. I'm speaking words of faith and discipline action. Why? Why? Because God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. And then I turn to him when I fail him and I say, Father, forgive me.
[00:08:21] And I praise God that God does forgive you and forgive me. And then I forgive myself. For we have the anointing of the Holy One within us. And we have a generous father, a wonderful, generous father. He has blessed us with his abundant life. And as a result, we are grateful. And here comes the great Isaiah 53.
[00:08:50] He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was laid upon him. And with his stripes, we are healed. God loves you and God loves me with an unconditional love. So I love him with all my heart, soul and mind. I'm free to love myself. And this allows me to love my neighbor. And Revelation 12, 11.
[00:09:27] Here we can say it. I belong to Jesus. So I'm friendly, strong, happy, victorious. Thank God by his grace, everything is fine. So I rejoice in the Lord always. And again I say, rejoice. God has given me a strong body, a fine brain, and filled me with his Holy Spirit. I'm talented, gifted, a hard worker, and persistent. I'll reach my goals. The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
[00:09:56] God loves me, so I love him, believe in him, and trust my life in his care. I'll faithfully serve him. And I have the joy of casting all my cares upon him who cares for me. And now I've shared with you these daily affirmations. I've shared them from a personal standpoint. But they also are applicable to you. And here's the last one. God is my loving Father. He has given me a Savior.
[00:10:25] Yes, he has. His Holy Spirit. He's given me a healthy body, a fine mind, material abundance, a beautiful world, and many, many friends. I'm thankful. Yes, I am thankful. Praise God. I'm thankful. And I trust that you'll be thankful today for these abundance of blessings that God bestows upon our lives.
[00:10:47] And now I want to share with you a confession of words that will bring victory relative to your financial situation. God is really concerned about you. And so I have written down for my own affirmation, and the same truths apply to you. I call it the giver's creed. I live to give, for I remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said,
[00:11:15] It is more blessed to give than to receive. I live to give cheerfully unto the Lord for every man according as he purposes in his heart. So let him give, not drudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. I live to give according to the measure of the blessing of the Lord I have received, for every man shall give as he is able according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
[00:11:43] I live to give, for this is the love way. God so loved the world that he gave, and Christ Jesus loved us and gave himself for us. I live to give tithes and offerings. Results are evident. The open windows of heaven, overflowing blessings. There's not enough room to contain all these blessings. And then we have the rebuke of Satan for our sake, plus other benefits. And we can affirm with Jacob of old,
[00:12:13] Of all, Lord, you should give me, I'll surely give the tenth unto thee. And we live to give freely because the Lord's given so much to us. And he said, Freely you have received, freely give. So this is my challenge to you, to live to give. To live to give will bring blessing to your life abundantly. When you live to give your money to the Lord's work, God will see to it, that you'll always have enough for your needs. And most important, you'll have enough for God's purposes through you.
[00:12:43] Father, I pray for every person this day who is somehow missing the mark and failing to understand the love you have for them in every way. But, Lord, you love a cheerful giver. And I pray that you'll touch the hearts of people who need cheerful givers. In Jesus' name, amen. Join me as we praise the Lord ten times. Praise you, Lord, amen.
[00:13:09] Praise you, Lord, amen. Praise you, Lord, amen. Praise you, Lord, amen. Praise you, Lord, amen. From the radio library of Bold Bible Living with Don Gossett,
