Who Do You Say You Are? Why Your Confession Determines Your Life

I have a simple but powerful question for you: Who do you say you are?

It doesn’t matter what others say. It doesn’t matter what your symptoms say. It doesn’t matter what your past says. What matters is: Who do you say you are?

In today’s blog, I’m going to show you how what you’ve been believing and saying is having a direct impact on your life—and especially your health. A spiritual law that many believers don’t fully understand is this: Your confessions rule you.

Your life right now—your health, your circumstances, your peace—are the sum total of what you have believed and spoken. Proverbs 6:2 says, “You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth.” Think about that! Your words can trap you or they can deliver you.

Jesus said the same thing in Mark 11:23:

Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done—he will have whatever he says.

Jesus didn’t say you’ll have what you believe. He said you’ll have what you say, when you believe it in your heart.

Romans 10:10 confirms this again:

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The word “salvation” is soteria in the Greek, and it includes deliverance, healing, and wholeness. If we want to receive anything from God, whether it’s healing, peace, or restoration, we must believe it in our heart and speak it with our mouth. That’s the spiritual law at work. It’s how faith operates.

Hebrews 4:14 says:

Let us hold fast our confession.

What is the confession we’re to hold fast to?

• The confession of our faith in Jesus.

• The confession of our faith in what His Word says about us.

  
  

But here’s the problem. Many Christians never dare to say what God says about them. Instead, they’re saying:

• “I’m so sick.”

• “I can’t take much more.”

• “The devil’s been busy.”

• “Nothing ever works out for me.”

  
  

And guess what? As long as that’s their confession, that will be their reality. Jesus said you’ll have what you say. When people constantly talk about how broke they are, how sick they feel, how depressed they are, they’re actually declaring that God’s Word doesn’t work. They may not realize that they’re opposing God’s Word.

In effect they’re saying, “God, I know what Your Word says, but I don’t believe it.” When they do that, they’re not walking in agreement with God. Instead, they’re siding with the enemy.

When you speak death, when you speak disease, when you speak defeat, you’re echoing the voice of the devil. And Satan loves it when you do that. Why does he? Because he knows your words have power.

Do you want to grow stronger in faith? Then talk about what the Lord has done for you. Confess what the Word says. The more you talk about healing, the more real it becomes. The more you talk about victory, the more confident you become. The more you talk about who you are in Christ, the more you walk in that identity.

Our perfect example was Jesus. All throughout His ministry, Jesus constantly spoke His identity:

• Who He was

• What He had

• Why He came

  
  

He declared things like this:

• “I am the Light of the world.”

• “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

• “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me.”

  
  

Now someone might say, “Well, that was Jesus. I’m just human.” Yet do you not realize that Jesus was human with God in Him? Likewise, if you are born again, then you are human with God in you. You have the same Spirit and the same inheritance as Jesus has. You must begin confessing who you are in Him just like Jesus did. You are a joint heir!

Romans 8:16–17 says,

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.

This means that everything Jesus has you now have.

• Jesus has health—you have health.

• Jesus has peace—you have peace.

• Jesus has authority—you have authority.

• Jesus has victory—you have victory.

  
  

If you’re not experiencing these things, it’s not because God hasn’t given them. It’s because you’re not seeing yourself in Christ. Too many believers still talk like they’re just natural people.

However, once you come to Christ, your spirit is made brand new. The rest of your journey is discovering who you now are, what you now have, and what you can now do in Christ. You must start saying what the Bible says about you.

·       “I am healed.”

·       “I am a child of God.”

·       “I have peace.”

·       “I walk in victory.”

·       “I am more than a conqueror.”

·       “Greater is He that is in me!”

When your heart believes it and your mouth speaks it, you will have it. That’s not positive thinking, that’s God’s Word!

So, who do YOU say you are? Start saying what God says. Agree with Him. Hold fast to your confession. And watch your life and your health begin to change.
