The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person 1. What is said of God is said of the Spirit (Ac. 5:3-4). 2. The Holy Spirit is identified with Yahweh (Ac. 7:51, quoting Ps. 78:17,21; Heb. 10:15-17, quoting Jer. 31:33-34). 3. The activity of God = the activity of the Holy Spirit (e.g., in creation, conversion, etc.). 4. “God said” = “the Spirit said” (Isa. 6:9 / Acts 28:25). 5. We are the “temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in us” (Eph. 2:22; 1 Cor. 6:19). If the Holy Spirit is not God, how could we properly be called the temple of God simply because the Spirit indwells us? 6. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin (Mt. 12:31; Mk. 3:28).

Confession 3 Faith

CONFESSION 3

FAITH

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Because I hear God’s Word, I have faith. Jesus said, all things are possible to them that believe. All things are possible, therefore, because I believe. Jesus said, faith the size of a mustard seed could remove mountains and nothing would be impossible. I have the faith of God because Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith. Nothing is impossible, therefore, because it is written, with God all things are possible. I have faith and doubt not. I not only can do what Jesus did to the fig tree but I also speak to circumstances. All things, no matter what I ask in prayer, I believe and receive. I have God’s faith dwelling in me and I speak to circumstances. When I do so, I do not separate from my thinking what I confessed with my mouth but I believe those things which I have spoken will come to pass. When I pray therefore, I believe that I receive and my prayers are answered. When I pray, I forgive if I have anything against another and my Father which is in Heaven forgives me. I believe on Christ and do the works which He did because He said I could. I even do greater works because He went to be with the Father. No matter what I ask in His name, that will He do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If I ask anything in His name, He will do it because He said He would. He is the Lord, the God of all flesh: There is nothing to hard for Him.
