Highlight:

‭It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” Matthew 15:11 NLT‬

A believer is someone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Someone who is fully functional in praying and sharing the good news of Christ to others. A complete believer has been committed to speaking about good news of God's word and baptising people according to Matthew 28:19-20.

We have known what a believer is, then what is confession? It is spoken words to admit oneself to hostility or hospitality of the Spiritual or Physical. 

Our living characters were brought up by the daily confessions in our mouth and the mouth of others around us. Howbeit, a mere confession is what defiles a man. What you merely say when you are off guard, upset, uncomfortable, unconscious and so on. These mere confession comes from our thinking routine. Our thoughts are powerful tools that design what we merely confess with our mouths. If your thoughts have made you feel worthy or unworthy lately there is one admonishing statement from the Bible about it and it is in Philippians4:8.

‭"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 NLT‬

Have you traced where your thoughts are coming from lately, are they coming from threats?, fear?, scary neighbours?, life challenges?, you can cleans it by submitting your heart for Cleansing through prayers and reorientation of your mind to God's promises.

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

If you truly want to be totally saved, it must reach your end of thinking Jesus into confessing what is praise worthy of God in your life. Only Jesus can save every situations from thoughts to confession. Let us begin to learn how to think by confessing praise worthy things and let u to learn how to confess by thinking what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable.
