It’s Time to Use Our Words to Declare Good Things
Did you know that what you say about yourself has greater impact on
you than anything anybody else says about you? Many people are overly
critical of themselves, saying, “I’m so clumsy. I can’t do anything
right.” “I’m so overweight. I’ll never get back into shape.” “I never
get any good breaks.”
They may not realize it, but they are cursing their future.
Those words sink into their minds. Before long, they develop a defeated
mentality, low self-esteem and diminished confidence. Worse yet, those
negative mindsets can interfere with God’s plan for their lives.
One of the best ways to break free from such strongholds is
simply by speaking words of victory. Every day, look in the mirror and
declare, “God’s word says I am strong. God is fighting my battles for
me. I’m excited about my future.”
Maybe you are lonely because you don’t have a lot of friends.
Instead of complaining, start declaring, “God is bringing great people
into my life. I know He loves me, so I can risk loving others.”
Speak blessings over your life, and as you do, you’ll go out
with more confidence, you’ll be more congenial and, in turn, you will
attract new friends.
When discouragement comes, instead of sitting back and
accepting it, say, “No, I’m a victor and not a victim. I may have been
defeated before, but the past is the past. This is a new day.”
It’s not enough just to think it; you need to hear it, because
what we constantly hear ourselves saying we will eventually believe.
Some people live in a perpetual state of financial crisis.
They can’t seem to pay their bills, always living “under their
circumstances” and constantly speaking defeat.
If you are struggling financially, remind yourself repeatedly,
“I am the head and I am not the tail. I will lend and I will not
borrow. Everything I touch will prosper and succeed.”
“Oh, come on, I can’t say that,” you may be thinking. “None of that is true in my life.”
Yes, it is true! That is what faith is all about. The world
says you need to see it to believe it, but God says you must believe and
then you’ll see it. You must speak it by faith.
Make a list of your goals, your dreams, the areas where you
want to see change. Confirm your desires by Scripture, and then every
day before you leave the house, speak those blessings aloud. Something
supernatural happens when you speak those words aloud.
Maybe you struggle with condemnation because of past mistakes.
Each day, boldly declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus. God is pleased with me. He is on my side.” If you say
something like that on a consistent basis, guilt and condemnation won’t
hang around.
It’s time to use our words to declare good things! Speak blessings over
your life and your family.
I HAVE THE FAVOR OF GOD.
I AM STRONG & HEALTHY.
I AM ABLE TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.
When I was sick and fighting with the death, I prayed, “I will live and not die. God is restoring health unto me. With long life He satisfies me.”
Even though doctor said that most of people who suffer this disease end up with die, I refused to see myself as defeated and dying. Instead, I growing stronger, living a long, healthy, happy life. My words caused my faith to rise and filled me with hope.
You can do the same thing. Find the Scriptures that apply to your
situation and then declare them. This is especially important in areas
in which you continually struggle. Do not let another critical word
come out of your mouth about yourself. Instead, take a few minutes
every day to bless your life, to declare the victory.
Understand, it’s not enough to avoid saying anything negative,
you must go on the offensive and start making positive declarations over
your life. Remember, your own words will have more impact on your
future than anything anybody else says about you.
Friend, if you’ll do your part and speak words of victory, God
will pour out His favor in exciting, fresh ways in your life, and you
will live the abundant life He has in store for you.
Giving The Blessing
Speak to Them
A blessing is not a blessing until it is spoken. People need to
hear you say: "I love you, I’m proud of you. You can do it!"
Encourage Them
The word bless actually means to bow your knee before someone.
Bowing before someone is a graphic example of attaching value to that
person. When you value people, you find out their like and dislikes. You
laugh with them and cry with them. You invest your time.
Praise Them
Encourage them to be all they can be in life. Help them
reach that potential by praising all the potentials they have and enlarging their vision of a God who always does
things in abundance. Find out their dreams and dream with them.
Remind them of what the apostle Paul said in 1
Corinthians 2:9: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” Use your words
to change people’s future. Give them a blessing.
