Title: SPEAK IN FAITH OVER YOURSELF
Speak your desires over yourself. Jeremiah 1 says, even before you were born I
had plans for you. Jeremiah could not
believe he was called. God told him to
say not you cannot do this because of who you are now or what your
circumstances are! He had to change what
he said. Negative words can keep you
from God’s very best.
Every morning call yourself and your circumstances what you
desire in faith. Faith is
substance. It is a title deed to what
you say. Do you want what you are saying?
Say what you desire.
I have a happy blessed home. I
feel good. I look good. I am a blessing. I am favored by God and man. Blessings are chasing me down today. Every
where I go people are interested in what I have to say. I am somebody’s blessing today.
Make positive declarations over your life. The Bible says
that Daniel prayed for 21 days and during that time it seemed like nothing was
happening but Daniel 10: 12 says from the moment Daniel decided he wanted to
understand a situation and prayed about it an angel was released to bring the
answer to his prayers, but there was war in the heavenlies tryng to keep the
prayer from being answered. Daniel did
not see what was going on in the Spirit, but he held on and saw the results of
his perseverance. Declare it until you
see it manifest.
Refuse to speak defeat, discouragement over yourself. There are three D’s you must stay away from:
Discouragement leads to a feeling of despair, despair leads
to depression.
Say: I am encouraged
because I am who God says I am. I can do
what God says I can do. I am happy and
blessed because Ps. 1 says Happy is the man who walks not in the counsel of the
ungodly. I refuse negative words,
thoughts or impressions from others in Jesus Name.
the communication of my faith becomes effectual by
acknowledging every good thing that is in me in Christ Jesus. Philemon
I acknowledge every good thing deposited in me. there is no discouragement in Jesus, so I
refuse to be discouraged. I release all
discouragement from my life. I give it
to Jesus because he asked me to. say to
yourself, I am that I am lives big in me today, so we are going to enjoy this
day that I am has made!
I break this habit pattern of thinking things are
hopeless. the bible says those that come
to Jesus will never be disappointed. god
cannot lie so I choose to believe if I put my hope in what he said, I will not
be disappointed. if I look to what I see
I will always have the opportunity to feel discouragement therefore I look with
earnest expectation to my best friend, Jesus, and communicate my faith that with
man it may seem impossible, but with god (us working as a team) nothing or no
thing is impossible.
David encouraged himself when he found himself in the middle
of family and friends that mocked him and made fun of his desires to follow
god. when he had no one else to turn to
he encouraged himself. He said, with the
help of God I killed a lion that was trying to steal from me, I killed a bear
that was trying to steal from me and now, this uncircumcised Philistine that is
trying to taunt the armies of the living God is going to get it because God is
backing me up.
Faith is something you speak out. It creates within you the ability to do what
you desire.
If David had to encourage himself to get results and he did,
why not follow in his pattern and rehearse the victories you have experienced
and tell yourself…If He has done it before, He can do it again. See the situations as an adventure to create
the life God has in store.
Take time everyday to release all tension, all emotions of
hopelessness, defeat, depression. Just
as we take out the garbage in our house so that it will not accumulate and
start smelling and cause bacteria to develop, we must do the same with our mind
on a regular basis otherwise we get stinking thinking. Do this and keep sowing truth, hope, health,
happiness and you will begin to enjoy your journey. Decide that if those around
you are unhappy, you will have enough joy and happiness around you to change
your environment. Your overflow will
flow over to them instead of theirs overflowing to you which would cause you to
sink down. Rise and be healed. Isa 60:1.
Amplified “Arise (from the depression and prostration in which circumstances
have kept you—rise to a new life)! Shine
(be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory
of the Lord has risen upon you.
