I am reading through Sun Stand Still, the new book by Steven Furtick. What struck me about these 12 audacious faith confessions is how important it is to speak the Word of God to yourself. He talks about the FAITH FORMATION PROCESS, which is
- Hear the Word
- Speak the Word
- Do the Word
I have known for a long time that speaking the Word of God daily could revolutionize our lives. But why don’t we do it? What would our day look like if we started declaring these confessions?
- I am fully forgiven and free from all shame and condemnation
- I act in audacious faith to change the world in my generation
- I have no fear or anxiety; I trust in the Lord with all my heart
- I am able to fulfill the calling God has placed on my life
- I am fully resourced to do everything God has called me to do
- I have no insecurity, because I see myself the way God sees me
- I am a faithful spouse (if you’re single, you can slip ‘future’ in there) and a godly parent – our family is blessed
- I am completely whole – physically, mentally, and emotionally
- I am increasing in influence and favor for the kingdom of God
- I am enabled to walk in the sacrificial love of Christ
- I have the wisdom of the Lord concerning every decision I make
- I am protected from all harm and evil in Jesus’ name
