5.15.08 Welcome to Wear the Word is Blogged

Since my childhood, I have held fast to a few scriptures that have really spoken to me and helped me through.  After really immersing myself in the teachings of the Lord, my church, and my Bible college classes over the course of the past year, I have (lackadaisically) accumulated a few hundred confessions and scriptures by reading my Bible, promise & confession books, handouts from church, and just listening to teachers of the word.  I have so many right now that it’s almost impossible (in the natural) to recall them off the top of my head.  I make it a point not to get into a spirit of religion or complacency by reciting the same confession over and over again without conviction by speaking confessions that apply to that day or hour.  One day, a few months ago, I began reading and reciting a 2-page confession on victory for my child.  Then a week later, I saw that she had come home from youth group with another page long confession on something else.  My spirit immediately became vexed.  All I could think was “why can’t we just confess the Word” – as opposed to confessing someone else’s 2 page prayer or wish list based on the Word.  From that point, I just purposed to confess the Word.  As I was going through a trying experience this week with my daughter, and searching for a word from God to stand on, I thought to myself how nice it would be if I could just wear my confession on a t-shirt everyday for the next few days as we go through this situation.  As I began to meditate more on the thought, it began to take root and grow, and became a full fledge business idea that presented several opportunities for God to work in our lives and in the lives of others.  Thus, Wear the Word was born.
