Jesus The High Priest Of Our Confession
By Warren David Horak.
In order to enter the rest we need to cooperate with Jesus the High Priest of our confession.
Today we look at how He works with our words and how we need to cooperate with Him and Heaven to see the manifestation of His promises and breakthroughs in our lives.
Hebrews 3:1–2 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus

How does God work?
We must go back to the beginning to understand how He works.
John 1:1–2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
God thinks about things, believes in His thoughts, and then speaks them, thereby creating through His spoken word. This is the Trinity at work.
Genesis 1:2–3 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
John 14:10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
Watch How He works
Matthew 8:23–27
Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.
25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Remember, Jesus is the Word.
This is His word He has spoken to you:
Mark 11:23
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Speaking to the Storm and things change when we speak.
We are called to be co-laborers with Christ. We are created in His image and likeness as co-creators to create with our mouths the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.
Jesus wasn’t walking around praying for the sick; He commanded healing when He saw the sick.
Jesus operated in the heaven-man mandate and wants us to learn from Him.
When you rebuke a storm, stop and consider what actually happens to stop the storm.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our partnership with Jesus, the High Priest of our confession, is pivotal for manifesting God's promises in our lives.
By understanding and emulating the way God works—through believing and speaking—we align ourselves with the creative power of His Word.
Jesus exemplifies this authority over the physical and spiritual realms, inviting us to exercise our faith through spoken declarations that can move mountains and calm storms.
As believers, we are called to act as co-creators, using our words to shape our reality in accordance with God's will, thus fulfilling our role in the heaven-man mandate. Through this divine collaboration, we learn to wield the transformative power of our confession to bring Heaven's order to Earth.
In His wonderful love that never fails
