Day 52
2-21-2017
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10
What ever you believe in your heart, you will confess with your mouth. These words will manifest themselves in your life as truth. This is law. So, now you must ask yourself an important question: "What do I believe?"
You can believe and view the world three ways: One through natural eyes, second through carnal eyes and the other through spiritual eyes.
When you see things with your natural eyes, you see things ignorantly not really knowing truth but instead excepting every stimulus that is presented to you. You then take that information and form a false truth about yourself and the life that you are living. What ever you think you are supposed to live, that is the way you will live. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he"
But why is this? It is because we were made this way. When we receive outside stimuli from the world around us we absorb it into our subconscious, we then create a truth, then we act it out however our brain interprets that truth for the world to see. This is how we are wired. How we think is how we will act. How you think is how you will talk. So be very careful when someone shows you who they are, they're not lying to you.
Now when someone sees things through their carnal eyes they receive outside stimuli from the world, but something about it doesn't seem right. But instead of rejecting the ignorance, the carnal minded person continues to operate in a false state of reality. It takes time for the carnal mind to hear the voice of the holy spirit. Therefore it takes time to see the work that God is doing in an already salvaged life of a carnally minded person.
There is something spectacular though when you are born again with a new spirit, a spirit that requires a different stimulus. A born again spirit needs the power of the holy spirit to tell it the real truth. This truth is then understood by the subconscious and then interpreted for the world to see. The world sees a Christ life, a life full of fruits of the spirit. When you see attributes of the spirit like love, patience, meekness, and joy, then you know what that person believes in his heart. When a person knows who they are in Christ, then this is the example of seeing with spiritual eyes.
Now, I said that to ask this: What do you believe? What kind of eyes are you viewing the world with? Do you believe that you are uniquely made for a purpose?
If you start believing that you and the people around you are made for a purpose, then maybe you would stop speaking negatively about them and about yourself. Know the power of your words.
I pray that these words get you to think about your purpose and also bring you closer to it.
Until next time

Live Life Day 51: Knowing the Power of our words.
2-20-2017
Day 51
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalms 19:14
Why would David say this? Because he understood the power of his words. He knew that he was responsible for speaking death or life into his life. He understood that what he was thinking and speaking was important to God. Meditation is thinking on something over and over. So, what happens when you meditate on worry and fear? You will attract negative things into your life. But when you start meditating on the word of God day and night like the lord commanded, then you will attract and see his many blessings. Know the power of your words.
"Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power."
~ Amy Tan (writer &Author of the Joy Luck Club)
Words are amazing. What kind of words are you using in your everyday life? What kind of thoughts are you thinking. Is God the redeemer of your mind and thoughts? Remember, this is a thinking week! Be blessed.

Live Life Day 50: Knowing the power of your words
Day 50

Power of Words
"Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Proverbs 27:1
We need to stop speaking what we think is going to happen to us because usually we think negatively, we can't help it because it is programmed in us. But if we talk to God first and actually hear him, he will tell us exactly what to say in order to speak the peace that we desire.
Learn to know the power of your words. . .
I was talking to my mom this evening about prayer and how to pray. God has shared with me that many of us are praying wrong because we don't know the power of our words. There are different types of prayer, yes, but this is not what I'm referring to. When you pray, it is important to first set the atmosphere to allow your heart to be open to God's voice. Next, you have to listen to God's voice so that he can tell you what you need to pray for. Then you have to speak the words out loud because he has given you the authority in this realm to claim your request or decrees. We are of a priestly line which means we are Kings and Queens. When royalty speaks, knowing the authority that they have, the kingdom listens and abides by the laws that the King makes. You have that type of power. You have that type of authority. You just don't believe it. Who will follow a King who doesn't know his own power. Learn to know the power of your words . . .
Think about these things. This is going to be a thinking week.
Until next time

Life Life Day 48/49: Affirm and edify your children
Day 48/49
2-18-2017
2-18-2017
I wanted to add an important thought . . .
#12 I want to go back to the idea of us teaching our children how to say affirmations. I think it is very important to speak positive things over our children’s lives. I think it is even more important to teach them how to speak positive things over their own lives. I have heard some of my student’s parents call their kids dumb! “You dummy,” “Don’t be a moron,” “You’re such an idiot.” Our children do not need to hear this kind of talk. The school system is already conditioning them to think they are inadequate because they don’t fit into the mold of compliance. Let us encourage them by teaching them to say good things about themselves:
The children can say:
“I am what God says I am and I can be what God says I can be”
“I am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath”
“I am smart, I am talented and God gave me a purpose on this earth.”
“I have authority to be all I can be for Christ Jesus.”
The parents can say:
“I thank God for a child as smart as you.”
“You are a blessing.”
“You are uniquely made for God’s purpose.”
“You are special, and made special for God.”
“I love you”
“I am pleased with your effort”
You can find this week's full article on artteacher4purpose.com. It is also a great resource for learning about the laws of God and how following them. This site and it's resources can lead you to finding and fulfilling your purpose.

day 47: 11 Quick ways to apply the use of affirmations in your life.
2-17-2017
Let's jump right in on our study about using positive words to change our lives. Many of us are aware that negative words are not healthy because they tear down and put us in bad moods. Most Christians at least try to be positive people. But what you may not realize is that we often unconsciously speak negative things just because we are used to that way of thinking.
Have you ever told your self or a close friend: "I just don't know how we are going to find the money for this trip," or "I can't seem to get this thing right," or "I don't know what his problem is?!"
I don't and I can't are negative starters that are often programmed in our minds. I understand that most of us try to be positive and we may know what that sounds like but are we really putting it into practice?
We have been talking about the power of words, so I want to share some techniques with you to help you reprogram your mind to think positive. Let us talk about affirmations.
An affirmation is an positive and inspirational statement that trains your subconscious mind to believe such statement as truth. When spoken out loud and repeated often it could really change your life. We are going to start with some "I am" and "I can" affirmations. Then we will move into some other biblically based affirmations of truth.
#1 Instead of saying something like "I'm so tired" when you wake up in the morning, say:
#2 Be thankful that you woke up in the morning and really see the blessing for what it is. God has decided to give you another day . . . Glory to God!
I pray that you have enjoyed these positive affirmations for your soul.

When spoken out loud and repeated often it could really change your life. We are going to start with some "I am" and "I can" affirmations. Then we will move into some other biblically based affirmations of truth.
11 Quick ways to apply the use of affirmations in your life:
#1 Instead of saying something like "I'm so tired" when you wake up in the morning, say:
"I am awake and full of energy!"
and keep saying it until your body gets used to getting up and being happy to start the day.#2 Be thankful that you woke up in the morning and really see the blessing for what it is. God has decided to give you another day . . . Glory to God!
"I am thankful that God woke me up this morning and started me on my way."
#3 Always be mindful of who you are as God's creation and the strength that he has given you to do what you need to do.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
#4 You are more than a conqueror and you were made for a purpose. Therefore it is time to start claiming these truths by speaking them into existence.
"I am confident"
"I am bold"
"I am successful"
"I am a problem solver"
"I am a conqueror"
#5 Let's also stop saying "I can't" statements and start saying "I can."
"I can be debt free"
"I can be happy"
"I can do it"
#6 We often say that we can't find anything to wear when we look in our closets. The truth is that we keep telling ourselves that, and we start to believe it. You really have an over flow of what you need, so let us change the conversation that we have with ourselves.
"I live in abundance."
"God supplies all of my needs."
"I live in the overflow, my cup runneth over"
#7 I used to lose my keys all the time. Sometimes it would make me late for work. When I learned about affirmations, and when ever I would misplace my keys, I would repeat to myself "I find things, I find things." After doing this for 2 months, I no longer loose my keys, but I find things, all kinds of things: money, deals, information, books, people. When ever I want to find something that I don't remember right where it is, I just start saying "I find things," and sure enough I find it. So if your looking for a job, a husband, or some money, claim it!
"I find things"
"I finish things"
"I deserve positive things to happen in my life."
#8 The following are some personal affirmations that I say everyday to encourage myself. I suggest you make some personalized affirmations in order to stay motivated or to remind yourself of a specific goal that you have.
"I am blessed and highly favored"
"I am a beautiful talented young woman of God."
"My children and my husband call me blessed."
"I am an international best selling author"
#9 It is important that you state your affirmations with boldness and clarity and with purpose. I believe my affirmations because they are connected with promises from the bible. I believe the bible. The affirmations are helping me increase my faith and helping me to be bold in my claims.
"I am the head and not the tail."
"I am above and not beneath"
#10 Always remember who you are and talk to God and find out what your purpose is. When you line up with the purpose that God has for you, then you know that you are blessed. I teach my children to say this next affirmation:
"I am smart, I am talented, I am blessed and highly favored."
#11 No weapon formed against you will prosper. You must believe this and speak it into existence. These last two affirmations are encouragement affirmations because I know who I am and I know my purpose:
"No weapon formed against me shall prosper"
"I will walk in wisdom, truth, love, and faith. I know who I am because I walk in my purpose."
I pray that you have enjoyed these positive affirmations for your soul.
Until next time

Day 46 Live Life: "Wisdom is knowing the power of words"
Day 46
I tell my students all the time "Words are Powerful." We did an art lesson on power words. I wanted the kids to explain, what were power words and how we could speak power in our lives. The most common words that the children chose were love, wisdom, and peace. We should all be aware that these indeed are powerful words by themselves. We can also develop loving, wise and peaceful statements to speak these same things into our lives.
I asked my students, how could they use these words to help motivated other people? I explained that when we speak positive words, we make positive things happen in our lives and into other peoples lives. So instead of practicing speaking negative things, speak some positive words into your life.
I want you to come up with some loving, wise, and peaceful statements that you can make part of your every day conversation. Now, this conversation can be with your self or with others, up to you!
The more you speak powerful positive words, the more you start believing these words for your life!
Yesterday, we talked about speaking success in our lives and I wanted to clarify somethings:
I had said that it is important to speak positive things in your life even if you didn't believe them. I want everyone to understand that I'm not saying you should try to speak positively then if you forget sometimes then that is ok. No, If you want to change your life you have to make a conscious effort to change your way of thinking so that those positive words of encouragement and motivation flow easily and naturally. You have to focus on your goal of changing your speech. You have to work on this everyday!
When you change your speech you will change your belief processes. This does not happen over night but instead it takes practice. You have to study and you have to plan. This blog is a start, but I want to encourage you to browse the intranet for something called affirmations and declarations.
Affirmations and declarations are the positive words of encouragement that you are going to start saying in order to train your mind to not only start thinking positively but to start believing with faith that those things that you speak are going to come to pass.
Tomorrow I will share with you some great affirmations that will get you started on your journey to positive thinking and speaking. But before I do that I want you to write down a personal affirmation. An affirmation is just a positive statement that you declare as truth and you repeat it until you train your mind to believe it. I want you to get a better understanding of what affirmations are used for. So just take a role at it. Leave a comment if you feel you have a good one. We will also line up some scriptures with understanding affirmations, declarations, and the power of spoken word.
Pray that this helps you on your journey to find your purpose.
Until Next Time

Live Life Day 45
2-15-2017
I pray that everyone reading this is being blessed. I pray that you are being fed words of encouragement that lead to your growth in the Lord.
Yesterday we looked at Dr. Tony Evans Video about "Getting our Minds to Believe Like God." This takes time to get our perspective to line up to God's purpose and plan for our lives. I want to highlight some key points to that video incase you didn't get a chance to watch the entire thing:
1) God has a plan for you
2) We are fighting a spiritual battle that has already been won
3) We need to learn how to operate in the spiritual to fix what is wrong in the physical
4) Developing our relationship with God allows us to operate in the spiritual realm
5) When we allow God to transfer our understanding to spiritual, we then tap into our power
6) Worry is meditation on fear that bad things that will happen, which then allows it to manifest in the physical realm (our lives)
7) We can use our words to speak truth into our lives. This power allows us to change things in the spiritual realm, which then changes things in the natural realm in which we live.
I want to share with you how important words are when you are looking to make a change in your life. Basically, you can tell what you believe when you start speaking it all the time. If you believe that you are going to be happy, then you will be happy. If you think you will be broke and never get out of debt then you probably speak it all the time and therefore confirm the declaration of poverty and lack.
The word of God says that we are foolish if we keep speaking negative things in our lives when he has laid out the plan and showed us everything that we have to do in order to fight against the wiles of the enemy.
Even if you don't really believe the positive words that you are going to start to speaking, eventually you will train your mind to start thinking in a positive way. When you keep repeating a positive message it will start to make a change in your mind!
I want to share this video with you, it is about 30min, watch it when you get a chance. It is about speaking success in your life by speaking and believing in the words that you say.
I pray that this blog is making a positive change in your life. I pray that you are one step closer in finding your purpose.
Until Next Time
