Glory to God, Family!
Welcome back to our series on 10 Laws of Prosperity. Last week, we laid the vital foundation with The Law of Revelation Knowledge: you must know and believe it is God’s will to prosper you in every area of your life. That truth is non-negotiable. If you haven’t settled that in your spirit, go back and listen to Part 1. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Don’t just hear it once; let it saturate your spirit.
Today, we move to the second law.
#2 The Law of Faith and Confession.
What is This Law?
Simply put: You shall have what you believe and consistently confess in alignment with God’s Word.
Your words are not just sounds; they are spiritual carriers. They will either make you or break you, propel you into abundance or lock you in lack. One of the primary reasons many believers live in defeat is because of their own words. You said, “I can’t afford it,” and you were right. You said, “This is too hard for me,” and it became your reality. Your mouth can be your greatest asset or your most costly liability.
We see a vivid example in Numbers 13. God told the Israelites, “See, I have given you the land.” It was already theirs. He instructed them to go and take possession. They sent twelve spies, and all twelve saw the same abundance: a land “flowing with milk and honey.” The prosperity was real and visible.
But ten came back with what the Bible calls an “evil report.” They said, “We are not able… the people are stronger than we.” Their report was evil because it sowed doubt and fear in God’s promise. It focused on the obstacles (the giants) instead of the promise (the land).
Only two, Caleb and Joshua, came back with a faith report: “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able.” They saw the same giants but confessed a different reality based on God’s Word.
The congregation believed the majority report. They wept, complained, and declared, “We were like grasshoppers in our own sight.” And God’s response? Because they did not mix His promise with faith, they did not enter the prosperity He had prepared. Hebrews 4:2 tells us their failure: “the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith.”
The principle is clear: You will not prosper if you do not believe and speak in line with God’s promise of prosperity. An “evil report” is any narrative, whether from news, conversations, or your own mind that breeds doubt and fear concerning God’s Word and your inheritance in Christ.
I made a decision long ago, even as a young boy, that I would not claim poverty. I would not let the words “I am poor” define me. That decision was a spiritual pivot. Your consistent confession, based on God’s Word, builds your faith and frames your future.
How to Apply This Law
-
Get the Word in You: First, you must know what God says about prosperity. Gather scriptures. Use the tools you have, ask for 10 powerful verses on God’s provision, blessing, and prosperity. Write them down. This isn’t about positive thinking; it’s about biblical truth.
-
Believe It in Your Heart: Faith is not a fuzzy feeling. It’s a settled conviction. When you read, “My God shall supply all your need”, Philippians 4:19 – But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus), receive it. Believe it with the same certainty you have when a trustworthy friend gives you their word. Your heart must anchor to the promise.
-
Consistently Confess It Aloud: This is where the rubber meets the road. Your mouth must agree with your heart.
-
Instead of “Money is tight,” say, “God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory.”
-
Instead of “I’ll never get out of debt,” say, “I am the lender, not the borrower. All my debts are canceled.”
-
Instead of complaining about the economy, declare, “I am blessed. Goodness and mercy follow me. Lines are falling for me in pleasant places.”
-
This doesn’t mean ignoring reality; it means speaking a higher reality, God’s reality over your situation. It means when an opportunity arises, even if you need to partner with someone with the skill, you say, “I can do that,” because you are blessed to be a conduit of blessing.
Let’s speak this by faith: “I believe God’s Word. He has prospered me in Christ. I am rich and wealthy in Him. I have all my needs met, all my bills paid, and all my debts canceled. I have businesses, contracts, and jobs. People favor me because I am blessed. I walk in the abundance Jesus provided.”
Keep saying it. When doubt shouts, speak louder. Your faith-filled confession is the proof of your belief and the catalyst for your breakthrough.
Remember, Church: We are not a militant church, always fighting the devil. We are a Triumphant Church, walking in the victory Christ has already won and that includes victory over lack.
Listen to this message again. Mix it with faith. And watch your words build your world.
