Known Confessions Revisited.

In a couple of previous posts, I introduced and discussed a concept I called "known confessions."

Known Confessions - Getting Started Confessing The Word

Known Confessions - Why?

In this entry, I am not going to post the contents of my Known Confessions, but I am going to describe the content, as an additional guide to those needing some direction for composing their own known confessions.

I started with a statement of God's unconditional love, and my inability to change it.

I followed with statements of God's truthfulness.

Then I began what I call "basic Jesus confessions" -- "Jesus is Lord.... Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life...."

Then I personalized the Jesus confessions - "Jesus is my Lord.... Jesus is my Way to the Father...."

Then I confess the new birth and eternal life, and that I walk as a child of the Light.

Next, I go into a couple of "Holy Spirit confessions" - "The Holy Spirit guides me into all truth...."  This includes what happens when I pray in tongues.

Then I go into "New creation confessions," including transformation by the renewing of my mind, and the differences between my new nature and the nature of the world.

Next comes a basic healing confession.

I finish with a confession of God's provision for all my needs.

I still offer a copy of my own Known Confessions.  If anyone wants it, drop me an email at dougdlee@cox.net
