It has often been said that the mind is a battlefield. Millions of thoughts storm and rage through our minds in a single hour alone. And if we are not purposeful, negative thoughts can run rampant in their quest to win the battle in our minds. But we can win the war in the mind by meditating on and speaking God’s truth. This is the power of affirmations. And just recently I was in a battle in the mind. Thank God for my bestie who quickly came to the rescue and reminded me of who I am in Christ. She went on to encourage me to get back to my affirmations. 

Affirmations are powerful, generally brief phrases that affirm who you are, who you want to be and what you want to have. Affirmations are used to keep your mind focused on truth, to combat negative defeating thoughts and to promote success. But let’s be clear. There is a difference between regular affirmations and biblical affirmations. 

We live in a world today where lines are blurred. We see and hear a lot of chatter about positive psychology, manifesting, mindfulness and the law of attraction. And while those practices may yield good feelings about yourself and your abilities and what you feel the universe will bring to you, they greatly hinge on self and what the self can accomplish. 

Yet as a Believer in Christ I know that my strength comes from God. I know that it is His power at work in me that enables me to accomplish anything. I know that it is because of His love, His favor, His grace and His mercy that I am blessed. And it is in partnering with HIM through my obedience that He bountifully blessed me. 

So where does that leave the Believer when it comes to calling forth who we want to be and what we want to have? How do we avoid sliding on the slippery slope of me centered positive psychology and stay rooted in the truth of what God says?

We do this by declaring God’s word. Our affirmations should be directly from His word because it is God’s Word that goes forward to accomplish what He intends (Isaiah 55:11). The bible is also clear in telling us the power of speaking life, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Proverbs 18:21. 

I don’t know about you, but I want my thinking and my speaking to align with what God says about me.
