Don't Talk Yourself Out of Your Blessing

By Ms. Alisha Jackson, MSW | Doctoral Candidate

Your Words Should Agree With God's Promises

One of the easiest ways to become discouraged is by speaking from our current circumstances instead of speaking from God's promises.

We may find ourselves saying, "Nothing is changing," "I'm not making progress," or "Maybe this isn't meant for me."

Yet God's Word continually reminds us to walk by faith rather than by sight.

Every time we choose faith over fear, hope over discouragement, and truth over doubt, we strengthen our spiritual foundation. Our words influence our mindset, our expectations, and the direction we continue moving.

Instead of speaking defeat, choose to declare what God is building.

• Declare that healing is taking place.

• Declare that doors are opening.

• Declare that wisdom is increasing.

• Declare that your purpose is unfolding.

Don't allow temporary delays to convince you that God has forgotten His promises. Speak life over your future and remain in agreement with what He has already spoken.

Reflection: What words do you need to replace with declarations of faith this week?

Heal. Grow. Transform.
