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.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

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...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
