Bible Based Confessions Day 1

It is so important as women of God to speak the Word of God over ourselves! In a world full of negativity and our own unrenewed thoughts too, we must renew our minds to the Word of God so that we can walk in the purpose that He has created for us to do!

Below I have shared 1/15 I am statements based upon the Word of God that you can confess over yourself every day! This 5-10 minute exercise will be a game changer to start your day on the right note! This is by no means an exhaustive list and I will be sharing 1 statement for the next 15 days, and it will definitely help get you started. I encourage you to grab your Bible, a notebook or index cards and your favorite pen/hilighter to look up these verses yourself; and write them out so that you can begin to meditate on them and get them down in your heart.

Now, the type of meditation I am talking about is not some new age ungodly practice but rather, scriptural meditation simply means to mutter words over and over again to yourself. When I am meditating on scriptures I like to picture those big fancy glass revolving doors that you would see at an upscale restaurant or hotel. Just like that door that rotates around a certain center point over and over again, that’s exactly what your mind does when you feed and mutter a verse to yourself.

The more that you practice meditating on the Word of God it will become second nature to you— having less negative thoughts to combat because your first automatic thought to the negative one will be that scripture because you have been building up your spiritual muscles just as you would physically in the gym!

One final thought before we share the digital I am statement below… it’s not enough to just think about these scriptures but in order to actually have an effect on your life you need to make sure that you are putting your voice to them! Because, the Bible says, that our words have power— even the power of life and death is in your tongue! So, I challenge you to speak life over yourself, this week and everyday and you will begin to see a different version of yourself, that is improving everyday for the glory of God!

After you scroll through to the confession drop in the comments below how you’re going to start your week off with joy along with the meditation exercise; let’s encourage each other to confess good things over our lives with the Word of God as our sword in our mouth, amen?!

Day 1 is JOY! As Christians, we should be the most joyful people on this earth because of what Jesus has done for us, to live eternal life with Him once we choose to confess Him as Lord and Savior over our lives! So if you’ve never asked Jesus into your life or you need to rededicate your life to Him, I encourage you to do that today!

This is the most important confession of faith that you can speak over your life and it’s simple:

Just say out loud,

Father God,

Today I come to you to ask Jesus into my life. I believe that Jesus did die on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. I ask you to forgive me for my sins. Cleanse me by the blood of Jesus and make me a new creation in Christ Jesus. From this day forward I choose to surrender my life to you Lord and put my trust in You for the plan that You have for my life. I have chosen life and I am committed to following you Jesus for the rest of my life. I believe in my heart, and confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord! Thank you Lord that I am now a citizen of Heaven!

In Jesus Name,

Amen!

If you said that prayer, and believed in your heart, you are now saved and get to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus! Please reach out so that we can give you some resources to help you take your next steps with God! Now, that’s something to be JOYFUL about!!

In Him,

Brooke Shelton

Day 1/15 is JOY!
