Simple Affirmation Power From A Single Bible Verse
Simple Affirmation Power From A Single Bible Verse
How Can a Single Affirmation Provide Power?
Affirmation power can simply come from a single verse. Are you making your daily affirmation routine complicated? Do you feel like you need pages of affirmations to get the results you desire?
If so, I’m here today to say ‘wrong’!
You CAN keep it simple and get results.
This is especially true if your affirmation is based on the Word of God. There is amazing power to discover from simply meditating on a single Bible verse.
Meditating on the Word does NOT have to be a struggle!
Start by choosing a verse that seems to jump out at you, or that you connect with. You may not even understand why you are feeling attracted to that particular verse. Just go with it and start the process of planting it in your heart.
Write the verse down and personalize it as your own affirmation. Keep it with you and read it to yourself as often as you think of it. Meditate on it and confess it as much as possible. Record yourself reading it and listen to it over and over.
Even if you don’t think it will have an effect – just do it anyway. Why? Because we are told that God’s Word will not return void. You can have confidence that when you speak it, it will be accomplished and prosper. (Isaiah 55:11)
My Personal Experience
A few years ago I added some verses to my personal goals and business plan. I kept a copy with me and read it often. Then I recorded it and listened to it regularly. Unfortunately, I stopped my daily affirmations and confessions for awhile and results in that area slowed almost to a stop.
But the Word that had already been planted kept attracting me back to those goals. This also reminded me to continue with the affirmations, which created a positive cycle.
One single verse that I confessed and focused on, and still confess regularly is:
“Be generous. A generous man will prosper. He who refreshes others will he himself be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:24-25
I recognized recently that I am prospering in new areas that I have been generous to others in. I then thought of that simple affirmation and so appreciate the power of it shaping my life. Believe me, for years I struggled and taking time for affirmations seemed to be a total waste of time. It seemed a joke. But I can’t say it enough – God’s Word will not return void!!
If any of this rings true, I challenge you to keep it simple. Grab hold of a verse from the Word of God. Make it your own and discover the life changing power you can have from a single affirmation.
May you continue to experience growing prosperity in your life!
God bless & soar higher,

A Prosperous Future Is In Your Vision – Not In Your Past
A Prosperous Future Is In Your Vision – Not In Your Past
A Prosperous Future Requires Looking Ahead
But here’s the problem you and I face. Our focus on the past chokes off the dream within us.
We must look at where we’re going with a dream of unlimited possibilities. Don’t vision the future by the past. The past should just be a learning curve. You can’t move forward very fast if you spend most of your time looking back.
At graduation time, when many young people have a bright future in front of them, they can at the same time be frightened of an unknown future. When facing your future and any difficult tasks, act as if it is impossible to fail. Be bold and courageous. The future only frightens those who want to live in the past.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt
Your future contains more abundance of happiness, love, success, and opportunities than any past you can remember. As a Christian, God doesn’t look at your past to decide your future. We are told in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” So don’t let any past failures hold you back.
Here is a great analogy my pastor shared of driving a car. In a car the front window is l
arge, so that we can clearly see where we are going, and reach our destination safely. However, the car also includes a rear view mirror. This mirror is small to allow an occasional glance back of what is behind to help us as we move forward. Obviously if we spend too much time looking back while driving, we aren’t going to have the greatest success in reaching our destination. Can you say crash, boom, bang?
That’s the primary reason why you have to look to the future believing and expecting great things in order to have a prosperous life. No one backs into prosperity. Remember, nothing is impossible with God. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and attempt great things.
The bottom line is that you have a prosperous future ahead of you, so look ahead. Learn to believe in yourself and have God on your side. Acknowledge God and He will direct your paths. His beautiful plan made just for you will unfold before your very eyes. Know when God is in your plans, they will prosper.
May your future be a never ending journey of growing prosperity!
God bless you – cheers,
Brenda
