Words of Affirmation

Girlfriends, it’s time for change and transformation to wash over the hearts and minds of God’s daughters! Let’s start by changing the way we talk and think. I see too many daughters of the King walking around with their heads hung low and a burden of oppression on their shoulders. This should not be!  As God’s beloved daughters, we are free to live abundantly and victoriously even in the midst of incredible hardship. Through the powerful blood of Jesus, God has set us free from the chains of negative thinking and negative living. Yet we hold onto those chains as if they were still tightly locked to our wrists. 

 

Listen, sweet friend, you have been given authority to throw those chains to the ground!  Don’t allow the enemy to lay the weight of hopelessness, despair, unforgiveness, shame and fear on your heart, making you feel as if you’re not really free. You are free!  Let those chains fall to the ground and kick dirt on them as you walk away once and for all. Freedom comes through the power of God’s Word. As God’s chosen daughters, we must daily speak the truth of His Word over ourselves. The Bible says that “the tongue has the power of life and death” (Prov. 18:21). If you want to see transformation happen in your life, “do not conform any longer to the (negative) patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2). Changing your words is one way you can renew your mind. I’ll address a second way in my next blog post. A renewed mind brings transformation. Transformation sets the stage for you to live out every extraordinary purpose God has for you. Will you partner with me, sister, in a daily commitment to speak words of affirmation over yourself for the next 30 days? Let’s check in with each other at the end of those 30 days and share any transformation that has happened. I’m praying and believing for a break through! God’s Word is powerful! Ready. Set. Go!

 

Here is a list of daily affirmations you can speak over yourself. I wish I could credit the author, but unfortunately the author is unknown. Thank you to the woman who wrote this. Clearly she understands the power of our words. I encourage you to print out these affirmations and read them out loud every day with boldness and conviction. The author of this list says, “Volume, feeling, conviction and enthusiasm add power to your affirmations. Words weakly spoken have minimal results.”
