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.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

 Glorification The Kingdom Key of Life & Death READ | John 12:20-33 “Jesus answered them by saying, the hour has come, that the Son of God must be glorified (John 12:23).” Jesus reinforced the Kingdom Key of Life and Death through the illustration of the ear of corn. Unless the corn goes into the ground and dies, it cannot multiply. When the corn lives above the earth, then it is just one kernel, a seed. Nevertheless, when it is put into the ground and dies, it reproduces itself and becomes a full harvest. It is only through death that we rise to a new form of life. Jesus used the symbol of the corn to speak about the ending of one form of his life, his earthly existence, and the beginning of another dimension of life, his glorification. Jesus called it glorification because he was returning to the glorious life that he had in the beginning with the Father. God receives the glory out of the events of our lives when we receive the blessing and learn the lessons from all our experien
