One of the most powerful things I have done is put scriptures in a plastic bag and tape them to my bathtub wall.
When I took a shower in the morning, I would see those verses, and I would speak them over and over while I got ready in the morning. When I first started doing this I wondered if anything would really happen, but as I continued I realized how powerful declaring the word out loud is!
It made my prayer time more powerful because I was praying the word.
It extinguished the niggling doubts, anxiety and fear over situations, whether they changed or not.
Now, when I start to struggle with fear or discouragement, I know that I have lapsed on declaring the word. As of this writing, I have picked three scriptures to declare while I am getting ready in the morning.
Instead of focusing on the circumstances around me, I am focusing on the truth of what God says, and it is so powerful. I am almost embarrassed to say that sometimes I forget to do this, and I always notice when I do!
So, this week, will you join me in declaring the word of God as you get ready in the morning, as you do your dishes, or even as you take a walk?
This will not only change the atmosphere in the place you declare it, it will change you and your perspective on the circumstances around you!
- Find two to three scriptures that speak to your current circumstances or situation. Ask the Holy spirit to lead and guide you as you find these and write them down.
- Place them in a place where you will see them on a regular basis. I have some posted on my wall in my bedroom now, but I started with my shower.
- It doesn’t take long of repeating those scriptures over and over while you get ready to have them memorized.
- Continue to speak them over and over for the next couple of months.
Watch and see what happens in your mind and heart as you do this!
I would love to hear what this does for you, feel free to comment, message or email me!
In His love,
Carolyn
