FAITH is a FACT but it is also an ACT!

Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For true salvation to take place there must be confession with the mouth and belief from the heart. People tend to major on one or the other of these requirements, but that fails to obtain the desired results.

Confession is scriptural, but it is a result of faith in the heart. Only when people have already believed with their hearts will confession release the power of God. Confession without sincere belief in the heart is dead works (Heb 9:14).

Likewise, faith without works is dead (Jas 2:17). When people really believe in their hearts, they will speak what they believe (Mt 12:34 and Lu 6:45). A faith that won't confess what is believed is not God's kind of faith

As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.( Romans 4:17)
The phrase, "and calleth those things which be not as though they were," is referring to the instance Paul had just cited when God changed Abram's name to Abraham (Gen 17:5). According to Strong's Concordance, the name Abram means "high father," and the name Abraham means "father of a multitude." The Lord changed Abram's name to Abraham one year before the birth of Isaac, thus confessing that Abraham was the father of a multitude before it happened in the physical.

This illustrates God's faith. God says things are so before there is physical proof that they are so. The same thing was done at creation (Gen 1). God spoke everything into existence, and then it was so. He spoke light into existence and then four days later created a source for that light to come from (Gen 1:3 and 14-19).

. Failure to properly combine these two truths has caused some people to fail in their attempts to receive from God, and reject "faith teaching" or "confession teaching." However, if one of these truths was presented without the proper emphasis on the other, then it wasn't scriptural teaching. The truths of faith and confession will work when used according to the instructions in this verse.

The way of faith!

The commandments of God are rapidly received into our mind but are not so easily received into our spirit, which is the place God is to live, the place our life is. When we hear the word of God, it must drop from our mind into our spirit in order for it to become alive and active. Unless the word of God becomes alive and active by abiding in our spirits, it will have no supernatural power of God in it. It is only when the word of God abides in our spirits that it becomes ‘rhema’, the double edged sword. The Hellenic Greek word ‘rhema’ means the double edged sword. The term ‘double edged sword’ means the word of God which comes from God’s mouth as rivers of life, then flows through the mouths of spirit-filled believers as rivers of life unto others.

The spiritual words Jesus spoke from His, mouth, words given from the mouth of the Father living in Him (John 14:10) , are meant for us to receive in our spirits. When these words abide in our spirits and we abide in this world doing the works of Jesus, we ‘shall ask what [we] will and it shall be done unto [us]’ (John 15:7).This is just  one of the many rewards we shall receive for letting God , which is the word – live and work both in and through us. If we do the will of God, then all things God owns, which is the universe, belong to us as well. The work of God can never be accomplished by human feelings, reasoning, thinking, sensations or pity. So faith always looks at God, while feelings behold self – read your newspapers, watch the news and see what devil-blinded self-willed people are doing in the world. Read the Bible and see what see what the men of faith do; a person of faith is like God, who is the same in the storm just as He also is on a beautiful sunny day.

We should surrender everything to Jesus by nailing our feelings, sensations and self will on the cross because when we live the cross life, we will experience a divine life of purity, holiness and perfection.  Everything will be for God and nothing will be for self outside of what God has given us. Even the least desire outside of what God gives us must be nailed there as well. Once we have given up our own life to the cross, we are able to enjoy the bliss of God within, even, though we live in a world filled with doubting, unregenerate and wicked people. We are not to lose sight of God even though satanic spirits are living all around us

This is the true way of faith – remember to always watch and pray for the ‘days are evil’ Ephesians 5:16
