The Power of Confession – Part 2 | Edition 16 | May 2025
Issue Title: The Power of Confession – Part 2
Subtitle: Align Your Words with Your Destiny
Theme Scripture: Mark 4:35 – “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’”
Dear Beloved,
Your words matter more than you may realize. Every time you speak, you’re sowing seeds into your future. Confession isn’t just about saying what’s true in the moment—it’s about declaring what will become true because of your faith.
In Mark 4, Jesus makes a simple but powerful statement: “Let us cross over to the other side.” He didn’t say, “Let’s see if we’ll make it”—He declared the end from the beginning. That is how destiny is shaped.
Many of us are on one side of life—perhaps the side of lack, disappointment, or delay—but I want to remind you: there is another side of life. There’s a side of provision, promotion, and peace. And to get there, your words must align with your direction.
The storm is real, but so is your Savior.
Jesus was with the disciples in the boat—and yet the storm still came. This proves that being in the presence and will of God doesn’t mean the absence of trials. In fact, the more aligned you are with your purpose, the more likely you’ll face resistance.
Every storm you face has two components:
- The Water – what you can see (challenges, rejection, hardship)
- The Wind – what you cannot see (spiritual forces, emotional burdens, inherited patterns)
We often spend time fighting the water while ignoring the wind. But Jesus addressed the wind—because that’s where the power lies. It’s time to start dealing with the invisible roots behind visible problems.
Don’t deal with people—deal with the spirit behind the people.
Many times, you’re not dealing with a person, your spouse, a situation, or a system. You’re dealing with a spiritual wind behind them. That’s why confession and prayer are critical tools in the life of a believer. Don’t speak what you see—speak what God has shown you.
Remember:
- You’re not going under—you’re going over.
- What didn’t work before doesn’t mean it will never work.
- Don’t say “never again.” Say, “Even now, God is working.”
- Your pain doesn’t disqualify you—it positions you.
- The same wind that opposes you will soon push you forward.
Don’t look back in defeat. Focus forward in faith.
You may have been delayed, but you are not denied. Just as the disciples made it safely to the other side—you will too.
A Final Word
Speak with faith. Declare life over your family, your business, your health, and your future. Let your words match your vision. God has already given you the victory—walk in it.
I am praying with you this week. Come next Sunday with your written requests, and we will agree in prayer together.
My Father and my God, I thank You for Your Word. I now understand that every storm in my life can be silenced because You have given me power and authority. In the name of Jesus, I come against the force and power behind every storm. You storm—whatever your source—I command you to be still, in Jesus’ name. I declare victory and speak peace over my life. May you also receive this grace, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Your giving makes a difference.
