Part of having faith is truly believing the promises that God has given us. Some of the promises of provision I have difficulty believing. I’ll just be honest here, it’s hard for me to trust that God is going to take care of me financially. But, you can actually change your mind about things by speakingthe truth over yourself, and that is what I have been trying to do–daily speak the truth of God’s promises for my life. It’s a little awkward talking out loud to yourself, but it has already made a difference in my life. Because it’s been helpful, I wanted to share the list that I have been using with you. I got it from someone who is associated with Bethel church, and that person recommends saying these things every day for a month and watching how things change. Not only does it build your faith, but your words have power, and saying these things affects the world around you. In addition, I’ve added a few things to the list for myself–things that I need more faith for and that I need to remember. Some of the things on my personal list are Biblical, but somethings are just different things that I am believing God to fulfill (like getting married). Ten Beginning Declarations Declaration #1 (Romans 4:17; Romans 10:9,10) These ten basic declarations (confessions) are foundational to the building of your faith. They will increase your expectancy of God’s goodness; and, thus, will increase the manifestation of that goodness in your life. Jesus said, “According to your faith, so be it” (Matthew 8:13). Say these (and the other declaration lists) every day for a month and see what happens to your life. It will beexciting! 1. My prayers are powerful and effective (2Cor 5:21; James 5:16b). 2. God richly supplies all my financial needs (Phil 4:19). 3. I am dead to sin and alive to obeying God(Romans 6:11). 4. I walk in ever-increasing health (Isaiah 53:3-5). 5. I live under a supernatural protection (Ps 91). 6. I prosper in all my relationships (Luke 2:52) 7. I consistently bring God encounters to other people (Mark 16:17,18) 8. Through Jesus I am 100% loved and worthy to receive all of God’s blessings (Gal 3:1-5). 9. Each of my family members is wonderfully blessed and radically loves Jesus (Acts 16:30.31) 10.I uproariously laugh when I hear a lie from the devil (Psalms 2:2-4). Declaration #2 Remember this: Faith is the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1). Our “evidence” for things being true is not our circumstances, but God’s promises. We don’t deny negative facts in our lives, but we choose to focus on a higher reality: God’s truth. Faith indeed comes by hearing (Romans 10:17); therefore, we choose to speak these powerful truths to build our own faith. 1. I set the course of my life today with my words (James 3:2-5). 2. I declare today that I cannot be defeated, discouraged, depressed or disappointed. (Phil 4:13) 3. I am the head. I have insight. I have wisdom. I have ideas. I have authority. (Deut 28:13; Deut 8:18; James 1:5-8; Luke 10:19) 4. As I speak God’s promises, they come topass. They stop all attacks, assaults, oppression, and fear from my life. (2 Peter1:2-4; Mark 11:23-24). 5. God is on my side today and therefore I cannot be defeated. (Romans 8:37; Psalms 91) 6. I have the wisdom of God today. I will think the right thoughts, say the right words, and make the right decisions in every situation I face. (1 Corinthians 2:16) 7. I choose life today. I choose health. I will not be depressed today. I will not be in lacktoday. I will not be confused today. (Deut 30:19; Neh 8:10; Ps 103:1-3; 2 Tim 1:6,7) 8. I expect the best day of my life spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and financially in Jesus’ name. (Romans 15:13) Speaking to Mountains Declaration #3 Truth: One of the main “methods” Jesus and the apostles used (in the gospels and Acts) was to SPEAK TO things. You will notice that they did not askGod to heal people, to cast out demons, or to raise the dead; but they spoke to bodies, to demons, etc. Jesus encouraged us to speak to mountains in Mark 11:23. Thisset of declarations focuses much on our speaking to the various aspects in our lives. I have a covenant with God and, by the blood of Jesus I release my divine protection and divine provision (Hebrews 8:6) My angels are carrying out the Word of God on my behalf (Psalm 103:20) I expect to have divine appointments today, to run into the right people, and to be delivered from the wrong people. Any adversity, attack, accidents and tragedies that were headed my way are diverted right now in Jesus’ name. I speak to the raging waters in my life; peace, be still. I say to my mind; peace, be still. I say to my emotions; peace, be still. I say to my body; peace, be still. I say to my home; peace, be still. I say to my family; peace, be still. Now I speak to every mountain of fear, every mountain of discouragement, every mountain of stress, every mountain of depression, every mountain of lack and insufficiency; and I say, “Be removed & cast into the sea in Jesus’ name!” (Mar 11:22-24) And I speak to this day and I call you blessed. And I declare that I serve a mighty God who today will do exceedingly and abundantly beyond all that I can ask or think (Eph. 3:20). I say You are a good God and I eagerly anticipate Your goodness today.
