Scripture, Denial and Affirmation

Read – Luke 4:1-13
Scripture: “Beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Spirit (Jude 1:20).”

Denial: “I will not tear myself down.”

Affirmation: “I consciously choose to build my self-image, self
esteem, and self-worth.”

Building consciousness through scripture, denials, and affirmations is a daily spiritual practice that develops your soul (mind, emotions, intellect, will) over time. Scripture is the Timeless Truth that has been
spoken, recorded, written, and translated over time. Denials renounce that which you do not desire. They do not deny the existence of external factors, but they deny their power over you (I John 4:4). Affirmations are the individualization of the truth. It is powerfully speaking the good desires of your heart.

Jesus’ experience in the wilderness is a perfect example of the use of scripture, denials, and affirmations. Each time his lower level of consciousness, his devil, presented him with something that was not
the divine and the perfect, he quoted scripture and said, “It is written.” Jesus consistently used his words to deny and to resist the temptation to succumb to his ego. He constantly spoke words that
affirmed his relationship with God and all the rights and privileges that accompanied it.
Your speech is evidence of where you are in your consciousness. No one else can build your consciousness but you. It is your consciousness. You have a right to speak. You also have a choice of
the source of your words. You control whether you speak from the super-consciousness, the sense consciousness, or the subconsciousness.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
