FAITH CAPSULE: What is it that you are confessing?

Numbers 14

What is it?
What is it that you are calling out as a challenge?
The challenges of today should not be your reason to be confessing negatively.
The challenge of your surrounding should not call to be confessing negatively.
Trust and have hope that the surrounding challenge is not your portion.
Psalm 91:7 is encouraging not to be confessing negatively, as it records, “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.” 
What is it?
The Bible warns in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
What are you thinking in your heart that follows you?
Proverbs 4:23 informs all, “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
There are enough warnings against negative confession. 
Matthew 12:34 also warns, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
What is it that you are thinking in the face of a challenge?
What you are thinking or asking will happen, and that is the reason Ephesians 3:20 speaks to all, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”
The challenge of today should not be your confession.
When God brought the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt going to the Promised Land, challenges provoked complaints before God.
Numbers 14:2-4 record the Israelites, “And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So, they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.” 
God heard the complaint of the Israelites to respond in Numbers 14:28, “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: 29 The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.”
What is your negative confession before God?
Confessing a negative will provoke a negative experience.
Confessing a positive shall provoke positive from God.
What is it that you have confessed demands calling for the mercy of God that will reverse irreversible for one to experience the goodness of God?

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God in negative confession engaged.
