We need to have a better understanding of the word "CONFESS" as used in the New Testament. The word "CONFESS" or "confession" in the English language means: To speak openly and freely as a result of a deep conviction of facts. The word: "CONFESS," in the original Greek however, is derived from the word HOMOLOGAO, which means, TO THINK AND SPEAK THE SAME THING; TO BE UNITED IN THOUGHT AND SPEECH WITH GOD HIMSELF. It is a joining of the two words: HOMO and LOGAO (or LOGOS); HOMO - the same, and LOGAO - to speak, or LOGOS - the WORD ...the Word of Christ! ...the Word of His Grace! ...the Word of our Salvation in Christ! ...Redemption realities! ...that TRUTH; REDEMPTION TRUTH ...the THOUGHTS of God ...the OPINION of God ...the CONCLUSION of God ...the FAITH of God; what God has to say about us in Christ Jesus, in His incarnation and His work of redemption! ...what God believes happened on that cross, in that work of redemption ...that is what confession is all about! ...it's a conviction of the heart thing, concerning the success of redemption! ...it's a faith thing from beginning to end!
Author Biography
Rudi & Carmen Louw together oversee: Living Word International. They also travel and minister both locally and internationally. Rudi was born and raised in the country of South Africa while Carmen grew up in Cortland, New York. They function in the ministry of reconciliation (2Corinthians 5:18-21) and flow strongly with the Holy Spirit and His anointing to teach, preach, prophecy, heal and whatever is needed to touch people's lives with the reality of God's love and power. God has given them keen insight into what He has to say to mankind in the work of redemption, concerning the revelation of, and restoration of, humanity's true identity, and therefore they emphasize THE GOSPEL, IN CHRIST REALITIES, the GRACE of God, the WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all such eternal truths essential to salvation and living of the CHRIST-LIFE They have been granted this wisdom and revelation into the knowledge of God by the Spirit of Truth; by the resurrected Spirit of Jesus Christ Himself, to establish and strengthen believers in THE FAITH OF GOD, and to activate them in ministering to others. Not only are people set free from the poison and bondage of sin, condemnation and all kinds of intimidation, (upheld, strengthened and reinforced by age old religious ideas born out of ignorance and deception, ) but many are brought into a closer more intimate relationship with Father God, as Daddy, through accurate teaching, and unveiling of the gospel message, prophetic words, healings and miracles. Rudi & Carmen are closely knitted together with many other effective Christians, church fellowships, and groups of believers who share the same revelation and passion to impart the truth of the gospel to others, so as to impact and transform the world we live in with the LOVE and POWER of God.
