Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV

God is quite clear that if we are to understand His will for our lives, we must "Renew our Mind" with His Word. The world around us is constantly bombarding us with negative thoughts and attitudes that are contrary to the Word of God.

So - if we are to grow in our faith and personal relationship with the Lord, we must Counter-Attack the unetical, pessimistic, immoral and often harmful views of the world around us.

God is telling us that we should not be like the rest of the world. In order for us to change (be transformed), we must change the way we think. Using positive affirmations with devotions from God's Word - WILL - change the way we think.

The Key to Success is repetition. Many people get discouraged because after a couple of weeks of reciting (reading out loud), and listening to their affirmations, they don't see any results. However, be advised DO NOT anticipate such instant gratification.

We MUST Understand --- our society and the world around us will NOT let up --- thus, our counter-attack against the negative influences that bombard us must NEVER stop. As we continue to read our affirmations out loud (so we hear our words), and listen to them from tape or CD, they will become a part of our new mental dialogue.

As we continue through DAILY Repetition (as many times per day as possible), the renewing of our mind becomes inevitable, and God's Word gets planted in the soil of our very being (our heart).

Scripture Tells Us that we think, ack and speak from what is in our heart (Matthew 12:34 - Matthew 15:18/19 - Hebrews 4:12). So - when self destructive habits, negative thoughts and/or unhealthy attitudes try to surface, our mind will automatically start to affirm God's Word for the situation, overriding our old unhealthy thoughts and mental conditioning.

Possitive affirmations and daily confessionals will literally help YOU to change the way you Think, Act and React. As you displace those old, unhealthy thoughts with God's Word, you will find yourself making much wiser, healthier and more possitive decisions and choices.

Below are affirmations that you can freely download and add to your daily readings. However, I strongly urge that you make your own devotionals, geared towards the situations where change is needed in your life.

Personalized affirmations can truly make a huge impact, helping with your spiritual growth, discipleship (growing into your true identity in Christ), and personal relationship with the Lord. If you need help or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
