In order for our faith to produce results, our actions can’t be contrary to our confession.

Here’s an example. We’ll be in faith and declare by the stripes of Jesus Christ, we are healed and with long life He’ll satisfy us according to Isaiah 53:5 and Psalm 91:16. But some of our actions include overconsumption of food, unhealthy eating habits, and little to no exercise. These actions contradict what we’re in faith for. We can’t expect to eat poorly and live a long satisfying life.

We’ll declare that with God, all things are possible according to Matthew 19:26. But with that same mouth, some of us say, “I doubt I’ll get that promotion at work” or “the possibility of me recovering from this disease is slim.” Our actions (negative speech) is contrary to our faith confession. 

We can’t say or do one thing, but claim we’re in faith for another. Faith without corresponding actions is dead (James 2:17, 20, 26).

Let’s be sure that our actions compliment our faith. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where our actions can correspond with our faith and confession.

James 2:17 NIV In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
