      Introduction

      Praying and confessing words of faith are essential for living a victorious Christian life. Jesus is the High Priest over our faith confessions. Jesus, who is seated on the right hand of the Father, gives every believer all authority through His Word, His blood, and through His name. Every time a believer makes a confession based on the Word of God, he or she has the whole authority of Christ behind him or her (Hebrews 3:1). Activating the Word of God with prayers of confessions is essential in order to live a victorious Christian life. Our High Priest, Jesus, backs up every word that we speak.

      As we activate the Word of God with our mouths, we have the whole authority of Christ behind us. Once the Word of God is released, it brings forth spirit, and it brings forth life (John 6:63). We have ministering angels standing guard watching over every word we speak. As soon as the Word of God is released, our ministering angels go and work on our behalf (Psalm 103:20). So, when a believer makes the right confession, they invite ministering angels to manifest the glory of God through the Word of God.

      The Bible says, For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart Hebrews 4:12 (AMP). As soon as believers confess the Word of God, a two-edged sword goes out of their mouths. When confessing the Word, we must not waver in our confession because if we waver, we will not receive anything from God. A person that wavers in his confession is unstable in all his ways (James 1:6-7).

      Before God can deliver anything into the hands of the believer, first, it must be declared with their mouths. The believer shapes their future by making confessions based on the Word of God. The Bible says the tongue is like the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1). God has already written our life; he sees us from the beginning to the end; however, when we make confessions based on God’s promises for our lives, we come in agreement with Him, by declaring what He has already written about us.

      God Made Man in His Image—To Carry His Power

      God wanted the ability to extend His kingdom here on earth, so He created man and gave him dominion (Hebrew word is radah which means to rule, authority, dominate and tread down) here on earth (Genesis 1:26). Elohim, in Genesis 1, spoke forth the firmament, earth, plants, sun, moon, stars, and sea with the living creatures in it, and the animals.

      When God formed the earth, God said, It was so, and so it was. So, the heavens and earth were created from God’s voice-from His very words. God spoke the entire universe into being. If God is the ALL-POWERFUL speaking spirit, then so are we. As Jesus is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). We are powerful speaking spirits!

      God’s dominion was binding when He spoke. Every word He spoke manifested into something. In Genesis 1:26, when God said, let us (The Trinity) make man in our own image, the Spirit of Man was created.

      Then, as we see later in Genesis, Chapter 2, God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and He breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living soul. God made the man with His Words, hands, and dust from the earth. He made men like himself. Literally, God duplicated himself into the form of a man. A man (spirit) was created in the image and likeness of God.

      I could only imagine when God created the first (godman) Adam; all creation stood at attention to watch this astonishing event. If my imagination could run wild, earth stood still as it welcomed Adam (the first godman), who would rule the earth and would have authority and dominion in the earth. Adam would use his words to give every animal a name, and when he spoke, it was so. Adam had the ability to create what he desired with his very own words. In the same way, believers have the ability that Adam had when God created him.

      Everything that Adam spoke with his mouth became a reality. Today, because human beings are spirit, soul, and body, the word that we speak is extremely important. Just like God, what we speak will come to pass. As human beings, our words carry the ability to create life or death (Proverbs 18:21). We are speaking spirits because God created us to be like Him. As I said earlier, God has given us the ability to reign and rule in this earth, and one of the ways we must rule is by WORD-BASED confessions. 

      God is Waiting for Us to Exercise our Authority in the Earth!

      Most Christians believe they are waiting on God to solve their problems in their lives, communities, homes, cities, or nation. In fact, they say that God is in control, but this is not all truth. He is in control through His sons, and creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed (Roman 8:19). I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, God is waiting for believers to step into position.

      He did not give us the ability to rule, and then take it back. NO WAY! If God is in control of the earth, how do you explain when a three-year-old is left in the care of her mother’s boyfriend, and the boyfriend rapes and kills this precious gift?

      Most people might be saying, Where was God then? Remember, Satan is the god of this world, the accuser of the brethren, who has invaded this planet. But, Jesus took back this authority that was taken by Satan and restored mankind back to his original state, when he had first created Adam.

      This is why we cannot be ignorant of who we are. We must stand and fight the good fight of faith, so that we can lay hold of eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12). The earth waits for believers to take their place and to rule the earth. The kingdom of God is within us. Every born-again, spirit-filled believer carries the presence of God. Our bodies are the temple of God.

      God is a promise-keeper. He will not go back on His Word. God gave man dominion on the earth, and because His Word is binding, he will not intervene without an invitation. A godman here on earth must invite God into their earthly affairs by Word-based confessions, prayer, worship, and praise.
