SHOWNOTES 


Do you have a declaration of truth you speak over your life? Now that we have talked about the power of the mind and how what we say impacts our mindset, it’s time to take it a step further. Today we are focusing on declaring TRUTH over our lives. 

“I believe” statements hold such power – but have you ever wondered what the difference between positive thinking and God-given optimism is? Listen in as Candace and Bianca break down the difference and share their personal declarations. 

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Bianca discuss: 

  • Why declarations are necessary 
  • The ways their declarations change and are shaped over time 
  • The difference between positive thinking and God-given optimism 

Want to write your declaration?

It doesn't need to be complicated. Simply put, your declaration is a reminder of the ways you will intentionally focus on the positive and not the negative in your life. It is a reminder that you are a child of God, created in God's image, living as a follower of Jesus.

Step 1: What is the theme in the current season in your life?

What metaphor can you find to help you picture this current season?

What are the negative things you are currently believing?

Write these down in your favorite journal, the margins of your Bible, the back of your grocery list - just write it down! 

Step 2:  What are the positive things you want to believe about your situation? 

And what scripture stories can you find that offer encouragement for the challenges you are currently facing?

What stories can you find in the Bible that remind you of God's goodness? Bianca says Google it! 

Use references from God's word to write out a sentence you can use to remind yourself to look on the positive side of your circumstance.

"I Declare that... "
