Affirmations of Faith
We live in a world that is groaning under the weight of evil, but God does not want us to fear or feel hopeless or helpless. He wants us to be a beacon of hope for others. To accomplish that assignment, we must believe and never doubt that God’s Word is more powerful than the enemy of this world. "So shall My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). We can count on His Word!
I have written a prayer that conforms to scriptural truths and affirms God’s promises, His extraordinary love for us, and our need for Him. As we speak these affirmations of faith, may His promises resonate deep within our souls and encourage and embolden us to walk in faith and obedience to the One who created us. _______________________
AFFIRMATIONS
Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You formed my inward parts and knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret. Your eyes saw my unformed substance. All the days ordained for me were written in You Book before one of them came to be. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before I speak a word, you know it. “You hem me in behind and before: You have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain” (Psalm 8; Psalm 139).
You made me alive with Christ, established in righteousness, and free from the law of sin and death, all oppression, condemnation, and fear. Thank you, that I am anointed and sealed for all eternity (Romans 8:1-2; Isaiah 54:14; 2 Corinthians 1:21).
You chose and appointed me, that I might bear fruit that will last. As a new creation and the fruit of Your workmanship, I am able to do good works, that You prepared beforehand, that I should walk in them (John 15:16: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10).
Lord, You see that the people’s hearts have grown callous; they close their ears and eyes to truth. But You placed me on Earth for such a time as this, so that Your Word can be heard through all who love and serve You. Therefore, I will not be discouraged or intimidated, because You daily walk with me (Matthew 13:16; Esther 4:14; Psalm 37:23; Joshua 1:9).
I will not be afraid, because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In Your power, I am an overcomer and partaker of Your divine nature to be Your ambassador in the earth. With my shield of faith, I can quench every fiery dart of the enemy (Psalm 118:6; Mark 6:17-18; Philippians 4:13; Revelation 12:11; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 2; Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 6:16).
You have given me great and precious promises and are faithful to me. You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. Therefore, I have all assurance of Your help and unparalleled wisdom that You give liberally without reproach (John 15:16; 2 Timothy 1:7; 2 Peter 1:4; James 1:5).
I will bring into captivity every negative and opposing thought to the obedience of Christ because thoughts produce beliefs. And beliefs form habits that shape character and ultimately shape my destiny, which must coincide with Your purpose and plans, established before the foundation of the earth (2 Corinthians 10:5; Isaiah 48:13).
I will seek Your truth and perspective in all circumstances of my life, so that I can perceive any deception that contradicts Your Word and will. May I always be united in one thought with You, so that I can walk in peace, that surpasses all understanding (2 Corinthians 4:18; Philippians 4:7).
Search me and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Reveal any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. Daily fill me with a hunger for Your Word that I may be transformed by Your Word and not conformed to this world. Then I will know Your good, pleasing, and perfect will (Psalm 139:23-24; Romans 12:2).
I choose to be in harmony with You and Your will, so that I hear Your voice speaking into my spirit. May my affirmations always be “Yes” and “Amen” for all Your promises are “Yes” in Christ, and through Him, “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God (1 Thessalonians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 1:20).
Thank you that I am firmly rooted and established in faith. I have the hope of my calling, the riches of my inheritance, and the resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead. Because of these things, and so much more, I can never be separated from Your love. May Your saving, delivering Word always be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. In Jesus’ name, amen. (Colossians 2:7; Ephesians 1:18-21; Romans 8:38-39; Psalm 119:105).
