claim it and believe it!

so here's a little/gigantic truth about god's word: if we declare it and believe it...it WILL happen, because it's POWER.
so i've started doing that lately....i got some great tips from an amazing girl, christa black, about declaring and praying god's word. i've read a TON of the stuff she's written and it continues to change my life. anyway, she gave some suggestions, and now i do this during my prayer time each day. this declaring of god's word that i learned from christa looks a little something like this....god, i declare that my body will line up under my soul....my soul under my spirit. i claim that perfect peace will sanctify me through and through (1 thes. 5:23). i declare that the riches of the storehouse of heaven would open up so wide in heaven that there wouldn't be enough room to hold it all (malachi 3). i delcare that my body of sin has been DONE AWAY WITH (romans 5). i declare that i am a woman of virtue, honor, authority, kindness, prosperity, and peace (prov 31)" and then of course i elaborate on certain things that pertain to each thing i speak over my life.
also, another hard, but refreshing thing to do is look at yourself in the mirror and start declaring freedom from the past, from addictions, from compulsions, and from insecurities. we have to reach into the unseen like our father did to create. his word is that powerful!!!! the earth was formed by the DECLARATION of god's word. he spoke where there was nothing and what we now see was formed, just from what he spoke. we have that same authority!!! because we have his word, so all we have to do is start claiming it and speaking it, and the unseen will begin to be formed.
when you declare that you will not believe the lies satan has told you for so long, and you DECLARE the truth over your life, you start looking like what you're speaking. it's that freaking easy!!! and sooooo COOL!
for me, i've always just begged god to make me the woman he wants me to be, but i never understood until now this truth of declaring his promises over my life. it makes me really happy all day long, just knowing that ALL the promises of the bible are mine and i can just begin claiming them over my life and things will begin to change because HIS words are so powerful. my words....not so powerful....his words.....LIFE-CHANGING!!!!!!! ahhhh...i just want to rest in that....
i want to encourage everyone to just pick out your favorite chapters and verses in the bible...go through them and write down every single promise you see for your life, then claim it.
for example, i started reading jeremiah the other day and just from the first four chapters i found these promises...he promises to tell me where to go, and what to say. he promises that i don't have to be afraid of a soul because he'll always be right there, looking after me. he promises that he has put his words in my mouth, that he's given me a job to do among nations and goverments. he promises that he's making me as impregnable as a castle, immovable as a steel post, solid as a concrete block wall. he promises that although people in the world will try to fight me, they won't even scratch me because he'll back me every inch of the way.
it keeps going....he promises that he is committed in love to me. he declares that he is our true husband and that he will cause us to increase and prosper. he promises to give us choice land that godless nations would die for....that he would bless us so much that those who don't even know him would get caught up in the blessing and see how much he's blessed those that are so in love with him. he promises that if we obey him we will be his people and our lives will go well. WOW!!!! all that from just four chapters. so i pretty much just claim every truth and promise that i read. do it!!! please! you won't regret it. if all that was in just four chapters, just think what the rest of the bible holds for us to claim.....
