Don’t let the word “affirmation” throw you. Affirmations are prayers to God that confirm the truth of God. There are several types of prayers that believers can make to God, one of which is the seldom used prayer of rejoicing. Affirmations are prayers of rejoicing. The word “rejoice” means to feel or show great joy. Bible affirmations are tailor-made to express our great joy in the Lord for our salvation. Bible affirmations also are not new. They have been used for centuries by many of the giants of the Christian faith. I started using Bible affirmations a few years ago after I read a book titled, “The Tongue – A creative Force” by the late pastor and Christian author Charles Capps. I copied down on index cards the daily Bible affirmations pastor Capps used to worship God and I used them myself for years. However, last year I decided to make my own Bible affirmations. If you’re in fellowship with God through daily prayer and studying God’s word the process is really quite easy. Take a commandment of God that has a special meaning for you and then speak it back to God in prayer. When you speak God’s word back to him in prayer God is glorified when his words are heard by the host of heaven and all the fallen angels (demons) on earth. Then you need to turn God’s commandment into a personal statement of faith and declare your obedience to God for all to hear. Let God be glorified! Let God be magnified! Be joyful and rejoice in the Lord! King David danced before God out of joy and the Lord said David was a man after his own heart. It’s a good example for us to follow.

Affirmation – I will produce good fruit by my witness for Christ.
