Faith Confessions & Testimonies
Famine (Austerity)
Faith Testimony is about you attestating to what Christ Jesus has done and can do in you by the WORD. When such is done, and being done you are invariably giving prophecy and prophetic utterance to give hope, inspire faith and selfless love firstly to yourself and secondly to someone else in Christ, that may be listening or will listen in time of your testimony of God’s doings in Christ Jesus in you. For the testimonial prophecy and prophetic utterance gives edification, exhortation and comforts as enjoined in the Holy writs and not limited however:
Revelation 19:10 “ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy“
1 Corinthians 14:3 “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort“
Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”
Isaiah 8:16, 20 “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. . . 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them“
Therefore, Faith confessions (declaration) and testimonies of and for your FAMINE are about affirming who and what you are in Christ as well as what you have in Christ according to the word of God. When you begin to say with your mouth – “This is who I am”; “This is what I am”; ‘This is what God’s WORD says concerning me or my situation’ – this will build up the consciousness to bring about physical reality and vitality of your desires in God’s word. Faith confessions and testimonies create realities. Faith demands expression. To develop a robust faith, you must confess and testify of your faith on the word of God. This is not positive confession – it is you affirming faith on the word of God. What you need or desire is already real in the spirit – faith confessions and testimonies make it real in the physical world.
By faith confessions and testimonies, we receive our salvation and desired miracles. Salvation in biblical concept is not just only in reference to being born again but includes and endorses all the packages in our redemption. So for your FAMINE, ponder, that is, mediatate on these scriptures below but not limited, receive grace from them and begin to declare with affirmation on who you are in Christ Jesus as touching the matter in question.
Job 5:20-27 “In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. 26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. 27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good”.
Psalms 33:16-19 “There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine“
Psalms 37:16-19 “A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. 18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied“
Amos 8:11-14 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again”
Genesis 26:1-14 “And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: 7 and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him“
