The list of things—both spiritual and natural—that we value in this life can be lengthy. But if we want to walk in God’s will and live according to His Word, we need to not only obey His Word, but also fill our mouths with His Word. Mark 11:23 is a foundational verse that teaches us this principle: “Truly I tell you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he SAYS will take place, it will be done for him” (AMPC). God wants us to pray and confess His Word, declaring it over our lives. We are to fill our mouths with what He values—both for ourselves and for others.

Another verse that expresses the priority God places on what we speak is found in 2 Corinthians 4:13, “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak” (NKJV). One of the most powerful ways we cultivate the habit of speaking God’s Word is to be speak ONLY His values—to speak in agreement with Him and about what matters most to Him. About us. About the people around us who have not made Him the Lord of their lives. About our government and those in authority. About our husbands or wives. About our children. About anyone and everything!

God wants us to confess His Word continually, which reflects His values, so that we’re speaking what He wants to come to pass. Jesus demonstrated this for us when He prayed what we now call the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10, NKJV).

In light of this, have you ever wondered How To Confess Only God-Given Values?

Consider this list of ten confessions to help you get started.

1. Regarding love: “Based on Matthew 22:37-38, Ephesians 5:1-2, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, I love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind. I love my neighbor as myself. I walk in love. I am patient and kind. I endure long. I am not envious nor jealous. I do not insist on my own way. I am not self-seeking. I am not touchy, fretful or resentful. I take no account of evil done to me. I pay no attention to a suffered wrong. I bear up under anything and everything that comes, and I am ever ready to believe the best of every person.” 
2. Regarding forgiveness: “Based on Matthew 6:14 and Ephesians 4:32, I forgive every person of their reckless and willful sins, giving up resentment. I am kind, tenderhearted and forgiving of others, just as God through Christ has forgiven me.”
3. Regarding putting the Word of God and God’s kingdom first place in my life: “Based on Psalm 119:10-13 and Matthew 6:33, Your Word, Lord, I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You. Teach me Your ways. I seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that whatever I need will be added to me.”
4. Regarding being led by the Holy Spirit and walking in the fruit of the spirit: “Based on Romans 8:14 and Galatians 5:22-23, I am a child of God, therefore, I am led by God’s Holy Spirit. I walk in the fruit of the spirit. I love freely. I have joy and peace. I am patient, kind, full of goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, against which there is no law that can bring a charge!”
5. Regarding praying about everything: “Based on Philippians 4:6-7, I refuse to worry about anything, and instead, I pray about everything. I tell You, God, what I need and thank You for all You are doing and have already done on my behalf. I receive Your peace that exceeds all my understanding. Your peace guards my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.” 
6. Regarding sharing the gospel with others: “Based on Romans 1:16 and Colossians 4:6, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. My speech is gracious, pleasant and winsome, seasoned as it were with salt, so that I am never at a loss to know how I ought to answer anyone who asks about the hope within me.”
7. Regarding gathering together and keeping the Sabbath holy: “Based on Exodus 20:8 and Hebrews 10:25, I keep the Sabbath holy. I honor practicing a Sabbath day each week in my life, setting it aside to honor God. I do not neglect gathering with other believers in prayer, fellowship, encouragement and helping each another grow.”
8. Regarding generosity: “Based on Matthew 6:19-21 and 2 Corinthians 9:7-8, where my treasure is, there the desires of my heart will be. Therefore, I store up treasures in heaven, and not on earth. I am generous with my time, talent and treasure. I freely give to others. I am a cheerful, prompt-to-do-it giver, whose heart is in my giving.”
9. Regarding tithing: “Based on Malachi 3:10, I am a tither. I bring my tithes into the storehouse, so there is more than enough in God’s house. Therefore, the windows of heaven are open for me. God is pouring out a blessing so great that I won’t have room enough to take it in. And I will surely shout, ‘It is enough! It is enough!’”
10. Regarding walking by faith: “Based on Hebrews 10:38, Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 8:28, I walk by faith. I am a faith-filled believer. I use my faith like a tool. I release my faith and use it on my behalf and on the behalf of others. I receive what I have prayed for by faith, believing God that He is my partner, and that He is working all things together, fitting all things into a plan for good for me and for His design and purpose, because I love Him.”
