“Don’t use your words to describe your situation; use your words to change your situation!” – Joel Osteen
My point is we tend to grow up speaking certain words and phrases simply because of the environment we live in.
How you talk to yourself will determine how successful you will be.
The silent conversation you carry on with yourself affects everything in your life. It impacts your self-esteem, your confidence (or lack of it), your relationships, your career choice, your health, your well-being, your mood, your attitude, your children, your relationship with God and your ability to fulfill your purpose in life.
Your mind will try to talk you out of God’s best.
When you choose to bless your own life by speaking positive, faith-filled declarations out of your mouth, your brain accepts whatever you tell it.
Your brain likes to prove itself right. Whatever instructions you give your brain repeatedly, it likes to go to work to make it happen!
I always begin my declarations by saying, “In the name of Jesus, I declare…” because scripture tells us that no man can get to the Father except through Jesus. This
Because your words create your world. Your life moves toward the very words you speak.
Some dreams will never manifest in your life until you begin speaking them out loud and taking action toward them.
In order to achieve anything in your life, you must believe.
“Lord, I believe in what I am saying about my life,” then you will become what you believe.
We serve a God “who gives life to the dead and speaks of nonexistent things...as if they already exist.”20 You are simply practicing the character traits of God. You are exercising your faith by speaking of nonexistent things as if they do exist.
We serve the Great I AM, not the great I WILL BE!
Specific declarations bring specific results.
God wants to do big things in your life, but He can’t if you have a negative, insecure, inferior mindset.
But they made a decision to stop living life defeated.
And he knows exactly how to do this—by keeping you trapped in your past, filled with insecurities and consumed with inadequacies.
Remember, God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. God is counting on you using the weapon He has given you (your mouth) to
Note: The number one question that will stop you from achieving your dreams is asking “HOW.” Your job is not to figure out how your dreams will manifest. Your responsibility is to stay focused on the vision, speak to it, take action and trust God. Remember this: When what you see inside becomes more real than what you see outside, it’s just a matter of time. God will bring ideas, opportunities, resources and relationships to make your dream happen!
“See it. Say it. Seize it.”
I encourage you to bless your children every night before they go to sleep or every morning before they leave for school. Your faith-filled words carry power that can build them up and give them the confidence they need to walk out God’s plan for their lives.
Children are designed to grow up and pursue their destinies as well.
Your words create your reality!
