Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-3

A FEW EXAMPLES OF CONFESSIONS:

I am filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. His will is my prosperity. (Col. 1: 19; Ps. 35: 27.)

I immediately respond in faith to the guidance of the Holy Spirit within me. I am always in the right place at the right time because my steps are ordered of the Lord. (Ps. 37: 23.)

God has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness, and I am well able to possess all that God has provided for me. (Num. 13: 30; 2 Peter 1: 3-4.)

As I give, it is given unto me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. (Luke 6: 38.)

I honor the Lord with my substance and the first-fruits of my increase. My barns are filled with plenty, and my presses burst forth with new wine. (Prov. 3: 9-10.)

I am like a tree planted by rivers of water. I bring forth fruit in my season, my leaf shall not wither, and whatever I do will prosper. The grace of God even makes my mistakes to prosper. (Ps. 1: 3.)

My God makes all grace abound toward me in every favor and earthly blessing, so that I have all sufficiency for all things and abound to every good work. (2 Cor. 9: 8.)

My mind is renewed by the Word of God; therefore, I forbid thoughts of failure and defeat to inhabit my mind. (Eph. 4: 23.)

Today- I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart. (Ps. 37: 4.)
