I write my Bible affirmations down on 4″ X 6″ index cards. I first write the Bible verse in black ink and underneath it I write my affirmation in red ink. When I recently finished updating my Bible affirmations I wound up with a stack of around fifty index cards. This was way too much to speak every day so I made five random stacks of affirmations, one for each day of the week, Monday through Friday. I left weekends free. I wound up with 10-15 affirmations per day, which is about all I can handle comfortably on a daily basis. I just updated them again this week. I try to pray all my Bible affirmations early in the morning because when I rejoice in the Lord my God and his saving grace that early in the day the joy of the Lord buoys me up the entire day. Speaking Bible affirmations every day is the best way I’ve found to keep my eyes on the Lord and my faith in God stoked. The human mind believes and acts upon what it hears over and over. That’s how our mind works. So when we say Bible affirmations repeatedly it helps train our mind and empowers our inner “spirit man” so that our outer “physical man” can be brought into submission to God’s will. Look, God wants to guide your life so let him do it if you want the best life possible. I firmly believe many of the mistakes that believers make in their lives can be avoided if they spoke Bible affirmations daily and they start as soon as they’re saved. Praise God!
Bible affirmation aren’t just vain repetitions. They are structured prayers that are meant to affirm the verse or verses you are quoting from the Bible. To a degree affirmations are also spontaneous because you create them out of your love for God and they will keep changing and evolving as you continue to grow in Christ during your walk with God. Your Bible affirmations are meant to be very personal to you because they reveal your plans, your hopes, and your dreams in service to God. Your Bible affirmations reveal who you are and what you’re about. Now, I don’t mind sharing my Bible affirmations with you because the Holy Spirit has given me the ministry of reconciliation through studying God’s word and giving my testimony about God.
My Bible affirmations are just a part of that testimony about God. I have always made it clear in my blog that my singular focus in life going forward is to urge people to study the Bible in depth so that they can witness for Christ more effectively and save one more for Jesus every day. My personal goal is to save at least 1000 lost souls for the kingdom of God during my lifetime and I’m not ashamed to declare it. I can’t save everyone but I can save some. Please don’t sell yourself short when it comes to witnessing for Christ. God will help you. Plan your work for the Lord and then work that plan every day of your life, while you are continually praying to God for his help. Shoot for the stars and let Jesus Christ sort it out on the last day! Our ultimate goal is to hear Jesus say, “Well done good and faithful servant!” We can achieve that only through our persistent effort and our obedience to God.
