"SAYING THE SAME THING"

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession [confession].
                                       HEBREWS 4:14
                               
   The Greek word translated "profession" here is  translated "confession" elsewhere in King James Version. The literal Greek meaning of this wird is "speak the same thing. So instead of saying, "Let us hold fast our confession " we could say, "Let us  hold fast to speaking the sale thing." Notice that words are involved here.
    The thing  that defeats many people is that they have a double confession. One time they confess one thing,?and the next time they confess something else.
    For example, they may say to you, "Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd, and I shall not want. Accirding to Philippians 4:19, my God shall supply all of my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus-- and I'm believing God to supply my needs.
    But when they leave you and meet somebody else, their mind may revert back to their problems, so they'll say, "We're not doing so good. We can't oay our phone bill. We're going to have to take the phone out. And it even looks like we're going to lose our car. . "
    What about that first confession they made? It was nullified by the second.
