The Bible affirmations I use in prayer to praise God with my lips are not my own. I borrowed them from a book titled. “The Tongue – A creative Force”, written by the pastor and noted author Charles Capps. Many years ago I bought this little paperback in a Goodwill store for fifty cents. I bought it on a whim thinking it was about public speaking. This best seller was first published in 1976 so it’s out of print now. I gave my first copy away to someone who needed it so I had to go to Ebay to pick up another copy for my reference library which cost me a lot more than fifty cents this time around. Buy this book if you want to learn more about using affirmations to worship God. You can make affirmations out of just about any Bible verse you choose. I’m happy to use the Bible affirmations that Charles Capps uses himself to worship God. This blog will cover the remaining Bible affirmations I use.

Joshua 24:15 – Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, but for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
