HEBREWS 4:1
Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, that is passed into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession (confession).
The Greek word translated "Profession" here is translated "confession elsewhere in the king James Version. The literal Greek meaning of this word is "to speak the same thing. So instead of saying, "Let us hold fast our confession" we could say, ''Let us hold fast our speaking the same thing," Notice that words are involved here.
The thing that defeat many people is that they have a double confession. One time they confess one thing, and the next day they confess something else.
For example, they may say to you. "Yes, the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. According to Philippians 4:19. My God shall supply all 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 pay our phone bill. We're going to have to take the phone out. And it even look like we're going to to lose our car..."
What about that first confession they made? It was nullify by the second.
