"That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved..." (Romans 10:9-10)
It is not enough to know the Word of God in your heart, you have to speak it forth as well; that is how it works. God instructed Joshua, "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall mediate therein day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein..." (Joshua 1:8). The word "meditate" also means; ponder, mutter, speak, talk, utter. It is much more than thinking the Word, you have to voice it.
The opening verse shows us that speaking out what you believe in is a fundamental spiritual principle, without which the gift of salvation can not be received. The salvation packages are delivered upon satisfying two conditions: First is "believing", secondly "confession" of that which you have believed. Both work together for salvation to be complete.
In the same way, to live the glorious life in Christ, where you enjoy all the benefits of salvation, you must keep the Word in your mouth always. You must believe and speak. Some people find themselves in an unpleasant situation and say, "I believe the Word of God but I don't know why things are not working out right for me." Believing the Word alone will not change anything, until you start using your mouth rightly by speaking what you believe.
Your mouth was given to you to create your future and victorious life. Your life goes in the direction of your confession. you have to say what you want in life. Even now speak the Word about your family, academics, health, business etc. Release the dynamic power to effect the changes you desire by speaking forth faith filled Words.
