The Mouth, Heart and Scripture


Faith, The Lifestyle of Saints


The Mouth, Heart and Scripture

In context Romans 10:11 is not a stand-alone scripture is conjoined with verses 8, 9 and 10 which some of us have deeply memorized. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

We all need an opportunity to confess with our mouths, with belief in our hearts, the scripture which is the incarnate Word made flesh as Jesus Christ (John 1:14). Three things are bronzed upon us and bring us to the point of mutuality. This Kingdom community has a confession of faith, which is public; an inward commitment, what we believe in our hearts God has raised Him from the dead; and our subscription to the Truth, He is the Living Word.

We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for unto us it is the power of salvation. With our mouths, our hearts and scripture (the Word of God) we do make ourselves a part of something greater than the sum of selves because we are combined in the spirit as one with God, the Father through Jesus Christ, His Son by the Holy Spirit and we shall not stumble (Romans 9:33).

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The God of the House of God, El Bethel (Genesis 35:7); we thank You for peace of salvation. We praise You because we confess You with our mouths. We decree and declare blessings upon those who embrace Your Word in their hearts, so that; as we go forth into the world we give testimony of our Faith in Jesus Christ to build the Kingdom of God. Now, for the sake of the Kingdom and the Glory of God, we petition, with anointing in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior, Amen.
