101 Confessions of Obedience to God

Do you love God with all your heart, but you still find yourself disobeying Him sometimes? If so, you’re going to love these 101 confessions of obedience to God!

When you’re trying to draw closer to God and change your behavior to honor Him, it’s crucial to speak God’s Word out loud over yourself.

Isaiah 55:10-11 tells us that God’s Word always does what He sent it to do. This passage says this:

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV).

When you speak the Word out loud over yourself, its creative power goes to work in you. And even if the things you are speaking out loud aren’t things you see in manifestation yet, you will see them if you keep on believing and speaking what God says.

Why? Because God’s Word is creative. And when you speak it out loud, it takes root in you and creates the thing you are speaking that is His will for your life!

And there’s nothing more important to contend for than a heart of obedience to God.

God has drawn us to Himself and given us the power, through Jesus Christ, to live for Him. By His grace, we can now live pure and holy lives. We may not all be there yet–I daresay that probably none of us are there yet!–but God is working in us every day to obey Him more and more.

To help you (and myself!) in this area, I studied out many Bible verses about obeying God. Then, I wrote the 101 confessions of obedience to God that you can find below, so that all of us can speak them out loud over ourselves.

Please be sure to use this massive tool of 101 confessions of obedience to God!

Putting this together was a mammoth effort, but I got more and more excited as I studied and gathered the verses upon which these confessions are based. Each verse about obeying God is so rich, and the Lord promises us incredible blessings when we obey Him! As I read about each of these blessings, I found myself more and more in awe of our Savior.

As you speak these confessions over yourself, I pray that you would sense Holy Spirit rising up in you to build your faith as you see the tremendous grace of God in our lives.

(And remember, these are all based on Scripture verses and are cited with chapter and verse for the reference. But they are not necessarily direct quotes, as I have taken the pronouns and wording in the Scripture verses and turned them into first-person confessions in the “I” form.)

Without further ado, here are 101 confessions of obedience to God:

1. All my obedience belongs to Jesus, for He is the King and the scepter is in His hand. (See Genesis 49:10.)
2. The Lord has borne me on eagle’s wings and brought me to Himself. Now therefore, I obey His voice and keep His covenant, and I am a special treasure to Him above all people, for I am grafted into the seed of Abraham through Jesus. I am a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation to the Lord. (See Exodus 19:3-6.)
3. I obey God’s voice and do all that He speaks, and He makes Himself an enemy to my enemies, an adversary to my adversaries, and He Himself goes before me. (See Exodus 23:22-23.)
4. I serve the Lord my God, and He blesses my bread and my water. And He takes sickness away from the midst of me and my family. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in my land; He will fulfill the number of my days. (See Exodus 23:25-26.)
5. Because I obey the Lord, the Lord sends His fear before me. He causes confusion among all my enemies. He makes all my enemies turn their backs to me. And the Lord drives my enemies out from their land little by little, giving their land to me as I increase and inherit the land. (See Exodus 23:27-30.)
6. I listen to the statutes and judgments which the Lord teaches me to observe, that I may live, and that I may go in and possess the land which the Lord God of my fathers is giving me. (See Deuteronomy 4:1.)
7. I do not add to the word which God commands me, and I do not take from it, that I may keep the commandments of the Lord my God which He commands me this day. (See Deuteronomy 4:2.)
8. I know and consider in my heart “that the Lord Himself is God in Heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.” So I keep His commandments, and it goes well with me and with my children after me, and that I may prolong my days in the land which the Lord my God is giving me for all time. (See Deuteronomy 4:39-40.)
9. I walk in all the ways the Lord my God has commanded me, that I may live and that it may be well with me, and that I may prolong my days in the land which the Lord gives me to possess. (See Deuteronomy 5:33.)
10. Because I listen to God’s commands, and I obey Him, the Lord God keeps His covenant with me, and He gives me the same mercies which He swore to my fathers. (See Deuteronomy 7:12.)
11. Because I heed the Lord’s voice and obey Him, the Lord loves me and blesses me and multiplies me. He blesses the fruit of my womb (my children and the dreams I am birthing), the fruit of my land, my grain and new wine and oil. He blesses all the seed I have sown; He blesses me financially; He fulfills and satisfies my soul and spirit. He fills me with His power. He blesses all my assets and investments: the increase of my cattle and the offspring of my flock–and He does all this in the land of which He swore to my fathers to give me. (See Deuteronomy 7:13.)
12. I love the Lord my God, and I keep His charge, His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments always. (See Deuteronomy 11:1.)
13. The Lord has set before me the choice to be either blessed or cursed. And I have chosen blessing, for I obey the commandments of the Lord my God which He commands me this day. I do not turn aside from His ways, and I do not go after other gods to serve them. (See Deuteronomy 11:26-28.)
14. I diligently obey the voice of the Lord my God, to observe carefully all His commandments which He commands me today. And the Lord my God sets me high above all the nations of the earth. (See Deuteronomy 28:1.)
15. All of God’s promised blessings come upon me and overtake me because I obey the voice of the Lord my God. (See Deuteronomy 28:2.)
16. I am strong and very courageous, that I may observe to do according to all the Lord my God has commanded me. I do not turn away from God’s Word to the right hand or to the left, and because I obey God I prosper wherever I go. (See Joshua 1:7.)
17. God’s Word does not depart from my mouth, but I “meditate in it day and night,” that I “may observe to do according to all that is written in it.” For then I will make my way prosperous, and then I will have good success. (See Joshua 1:9.)
18. I obey God, as He has asked me to do, instead of trying to appease Him with sacrifices He doesn’t want. For to obey God is better than sacrifice, and to harken to Him is better than the fat of rams. (See 1 Samuel 15:22.)
19. I hold fast to the Lord. I do not depart from following Him, but I keep His commandments in all things. (See 2 Kings 18:6.)
