It says that Jesus Christ is the Apostle and High Priest over your confession. The word apostle means “sent by God.” The word Christ refers to the fact that He is anointed with God’s power. The word priest speaks of a minister or administrator, and the word confession means to “say the same thing.” Put all those words together and you’ll see that Jesus is anointed and sent by God to serve as the administrator over what you say. He’s watching over your words so that, when you say the same thing He says, He can get right in the middle of it and make sure your words come to pass. That’s His job as Commander in Chief of the Body of Christ! He’s the President of this whole operation. He’s The LORD Director of the Church and He’s taken personal responsibility for seeing to it that when your words line up with His words, they happen! The Truth Will Change the Facts I do want to warn you, though, when you line up your words with what Jesus says, you’re going to sound very different from the unbelievers of this world. Pretty much all they know how to do is talk about what they feel and see in this natural realm. If they feel weak, they say so. If they feel sick, they talk about how sick they are. You, as a believer, are to do the opposite. You’re to obey Joel 3:10 which says, “Let the weak say, I am strong.” “But Brother Copeland, isn’t it lying for me to say I’m strong when I’m feeling so weak I can hardly stand up? Isn’t it denying the truth for me to say I’m healed even when my eyes are swollen and my nose is running like a faucet?” No, because those feelings of weakness and sickness aren’t the truth. They’re just physical facts. God’s WORD is the truth (John 17:17), and if you believe the truth in your heart and keep confessing it with your mouth it will change the facts! Jesus will back His WORD in your mouth. Weakness and sickness will bow its knee, and your words will come to pass. Years ago, I read a book by John Osteen where he put it this way: “There’s a miracle in your mouth!” The first time I read that phrase my spirit went off like a rocket. I got so excited I called Brother Osteen on the phone and said, “John, I wish I’d come up with that!” I still can’t think of any way to improve on it. It’s one of the most thrilling statements I’ve ever heard and it’s as true today as it ever was: There’s a miracle in your mouth! What you choose to do about that miracle is up to you. As God said in Deuteronomy 30:19, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life….” How do you choose life? By choosing life-filled words! By taking God’s WORD, feeding it into your spirit, believing it, speaking it, and sticking with it no matter what! Jesus said, My words “are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). That’s God’s BLESSING system and it works every time. So take advantage of it. Quit talking unbelieving words and confessing the curse over yourself. Quit saying stupid stuff like, “That thrilled me to death” and “I’m just so sick and tired.” If you get up some morning and you’re sneezing and aching, don’t say, “Oh my, I believe I’m getting sick. The flu has been going around and I’m catching it just as sure as the world.” No! Do what Proverbs 4:24 says and “put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.” Say, “I’ve been delivered from the curse. I’ve chosen life and His Name is Jesus! He’s my LORD. He’s my Savior. He’s my Healer and the High Priest of my confession and I confess that I’m BLESSED in every way—spirit, soul and body!” Believe that. Declare it and never back off. Never change your confession and never ever forget: You have a miracle in your mouth! V 8 : BVOV
