Let's Talk About Confession

Listen Later

In this deeply personal episode, Charles takes us on a journey through the power of confession, inspired by the book *The Power of Your Words* by E.W. Kenyon and Don Gossett. He unpacks key biblical principles around the words we speak, the confessions we make, and how these directly impact our lives, faith, and walk with God.

Key Themes

  • The Power of Words: Charles reflects on how our words—whether serious or in jest—hold the power of life and death, echoing Proverbs’ wisdom and highlighting a significant shift from merely hearing biblical truth to truly understanding and living it.
  • Holding Fast to Confession: Drawing from Hebrews, he discusses the importance of maintaining our confession even in the face of defeat, emphasizing that circumstances and feelings should never outweigh the truth of God’s Word.
  • Combatting Condemnation: Charles shares his personal struggles with shame and past mistakes, explaining how he combats these attacks by confessing what Scripture says about his identity in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 1:7-8).
  • Meditation and Internalization: It's not enough to recite verses just once; Charles describes the importance of meditating on Scripture until it becomes a part of our inner being, providing strength and authority.
  • Living Fearlessly: Supported by verses like Romans 8:31 and Philippians 4:13, listeners are encouraged to face life fearlessly, knowing that God is on their side and His strength and power are available.
  • The Authority in Christ: Charles explains the believer’s legal right to use Jesus’ name and exercise His authority, referencing Romans 6:14 and the abundant life that comes from speaking God’s truth.
  • Bold Confession: The episode closes with the challenge to boldly confess what God’s Word says about us, as our faith grows by daring to declare and believe God’s promises.

    • Key Verses

    • Hebrews 4:14
    • Romans 8:37, 8:
    • 1 John 4:4
    • 2 Corinthians 5:17
    • Ephesians 1:7-8
    • Philippians 4:13
    • Psalm 27:1

      Make daily confessions rooted in Scripture, with boldness and sincerity.

      If you’re struggling to believe it, start with Romans 8:37: In all these things, we are more than conquerors.
