Kingdom Faith Confession Overview

In this powerful sermon on Kingdom Faith, Pastor explores how believers can access God’s promises through the biblical principle of ‘calling those things that be not as though they were.’ Drawing from Romans 10:9-10 and the story of David and Goliath, the message reveals that confession leads to possession of God’s blessings. Many Christians mistakenly wait for heaven to receive their inheritance, but God has already given us everything pertaining to life and godliness. The key is understanding that faith begins with speaking God’s word out loud, which produces faith in our hearts. When we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts, we activate the same creative power God used throughout scripture. David defeated Goliath not through God’s sovereign intervention alone, but by declaring God’s victory five times before the battle. This demonstrates that the power of what God wants in our lives is released through speaking His promises aloud, transforming hope into faith and faith into manifestation.

Kingdom Faith Confession Notes

This transformative message on Kingdom Faith challenges believers to understand that God’s blessings aren’t reserved for heaven but are available right now through faith. The pastor begins by addressing a common misconception among Christians who live their entire lives waiting for heaven to receive their inheritance. However, scripture clearly states that God has already given us everything that pertains to life and godliness. The key to accessing these promises lies in understanding the biblical principle of calling those things that be not as though they were.The foundation scripture, Romans 10:9-10, reveals the divine pattern for receiving from God. Most people view this passage only as a salvation prayer, but it actually describes how to receive everything from God. The Greek word ‘sozo’ means delivered, set free, healed, prospered, and saved – encompassing every good thing imaginable. This verse establishes that confession comes first, followed by heart belief, which leads to possession of God’s promises.A crucial revelation emerges about why we must speak God’s word aloud rather than simply hearing it from others. The pastor explains that we naturally trust our own voice more than anyone else’s, and God designed this principle intentionally. When we speak God’s word, it enters our natural ears and resonates into our spiritual ears, where faith is birthed. This explains why Romans 10:17 states that faith comes by hearing the word of God – specifically hearing ourselves speak it.The story of David and Goliath illustrates this principle powerfully. While religious teaching presents this as God’s sovereign intervention, careful examination reveals David’s active role. Before any physical battle occurred, David declared victory five times, speaking specifically what would happen to Goliath and the entire Philistine army. The power of what God wanted was released through David’s words, and God backed those declarations with supernatural strength.This message distinguishes between mere hope and active faith. Hope waits for something to happen, while faith is the substance of things hoped for. Many Christians live in perpetual hope, praying that God will do something for them, rather than confessing what He has already done. The transformation occurs when believers move from hoping God will heal, prosper, or deliver them to declaring that He already has according to His word.The pastor addresses religious opposition to this teaching, noting that some accuse believers of ‘acting like God’ when they declare His promises. His response is profound: if declaring God’s word makes us like God, then what does constantly speaking negative circumstances make us like? We’re all acting like someone through our words – the question is whether we choose to mirror God or the enemy.Throughout scripture, this pattern of calling things that be not as though they were appears consistently. It’s not coincidental or limited to specific situations but represents God’s standard operating procedure. From creation itself, where God spoke everything into existence, to every prophetic declaration that preceded its fulfillment, words precede manifestation in God’s kingdom.The message concludes by emphasizing that faith is impossible without this understanding. Hebrews 11:6 states that without faith, it’s impossible to please God. The elders mentioned in Hebrews 11 obtained good reports from God through faith, and we understand that worlds were framed by God’s word. This same creative power is available to believers who learn to properly confess God’s promises and believe in their hearts.
