In the dictionary the word “affirm” means to state something firmly or publicly. So an affirmation is the act of verbally saying something firmly or publicly. In this instance the something is verses from the Bible and my obedience to them. Use your voice to speak God’s words after him because it glorifies God and God will glorify you in return. It’s a win-win situation. Reading the Bible also glorifies God but speaking God’s word publicly will magnify the glory received by God and man. I speak my affirmations to God at my desk each morning but they are also heard publicly because they are heard not only by God but also by the angels in heaven, the demons on this earth and by Satan himself. I offer my prayers of worship to God through my Bible affirmations and the evil one hates it when I do that. God refers to his word as the commandment (singular). That means every verse, every positive statement in the Bible is a commandment from God. In my affirmations I start off by stating God’s commandment and then I follow up with a personal statement of faith in God and my pledge to be obedient to that particular commandment of God.
