THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF CONFESSION

Someone once said, "We learn manners from those who have none."

Similarly perhaps we can learn some positive confessions from this list of negative confessions I found in my scrapbook today. I'll give you half of them in this blog and the others tomorrow.

Never again will I confess "I can't," for "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Never again will I confess lack, for "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Never again will I confess fear, for "God hath not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind." II Timothy 1:7

Never again will I confess doubt and lack of faith, for "God has given to every man the measure of faith." Romans 12:3

Never again will I confess weakness, for "The Lord is the strength of my life." Psalm 27:1. Also "The people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits." Daniel 11:32

Never again will I confess that the devil has power over my life, for "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world." I John 4:4

Never again will I confess defeat, for "God always causes me to triumph in Christ Jesus." II Corinthians 2:14

Never again will I confess lack of wisdom, for "Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God." I Corinthians 1:30.

Never again will I confess sickness, for "With His stripes I am healed." Isaiah 53:5. Also, Jesus "Himself took my infirmities and bare my sickness." Matthew 8:17

Never again will I confess worries and frustrations, for I am "Casting all my cares upon Him who cares for me." I Peter 5:7.

Never again will I confess condemnation, for "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1.
