SPEAK POSITIVE OF YOUR LIFE

Most of us will experience hard choices, stressful
events, and difficult situations that will impact us
in one way or another for the rest of our lives.

Hard times happen. They teach us lessons, make
us stronger, and give us a deeper sense of self.
After all, would sitting in the sun mean as much

if you hadn’t of experienced the storm first?

Stop rationalizing, stop stewing. Get up out of
your chair and start doing We too frequently become adept at pointing out
our flaws and identifying failures. We need to
become equally adept at citing our
achievements. We have to be willing to say to
ourselves, I’m on the right road. I’m doing OK. I’m
succeeding.

I once read an article about doctors who
incorporated “talk therapy” to treat patients
suffering with depression. Instead of medicating
the problem, the doctors instructed the patients
to start making positive declarations over their
lives, saying such things as: “I have a bright
future. People like to be around me. Good things
are in store.”
Some of the patients were depressed because
they were facing life-threatening diseases and
felt there was no hope. The doctor asked them,
“Has anyone ever survived this disease?” The
answers were always yes. So he told them,
“Then I want you to start saying, ‘I will make it. I
will be one of the people who beats the odds.’ ”
Those patients obeyed the doctor’s orders, and
amazingly, many of them not only came out of
their depression, but they also made full
recoveries!
It’s time to use our words to declare good
things! Speak blessings over your life and your
family. Throughout the day, say things such as,
“I have the favor of God. I am strong and
healthy. I’m well able to do what I need to do.”

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.”

Some positive declarative word you ought to say every day about yourself

 I DECLARE I will experience God’s
faithfulness. I will not worry. I will not doubt. I
will keep my trust in Him, knowing that He will
not fail me. I will give birth to every promise God
put in my heart and I will become everything God
created me to be. This is my declaration.

 I DECLARE a legacy of faith over my
life. I declare that I will store up blessings for
future generations. My life is marked by
excellence and integrity. Because I’m making
right choices and taking steps of faith, others will
want to follow me. God’s abundance is
surrounding my life today. This is my declaration.

 I DECLARE God’s dream for my life is
coming to pass. It will not be stopped by people,
disappointments, or adversities. God has
solutions to every problem I will ever face
already lined up. The right people and the right
breaks are in my future. I will fulfill my destiny.
This is my declaration.

Say these words everyday, proclaim it with faith and you will see the goodness of God in your life, thank you.
