Faith Affirmations

Mar 04, 2025·By Bongiwe Mthembu

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which He saith shall come to pass; He shall have whatsoever He saith.” Mark 11:23 (KJV).

It is important to note that the Word of God gives us vocabulary in prayer and in our speech. We use the Word to address situations when we exercise our authority in Christ. Our faith-filled declarations and affirmations aren’t just positive words, but God’s Word.

We draw inspiration from the Word and we boldly say whatever it is that we say because God has said it in His Word (Hebrews 13:5-6). In our opening verse, we see the Lord Jesus underscoring the importance and power of words or faith; He shows us that our affirmations or declarations shall become our testimony or experience. He says that if we believe in the things that we say, we will have whatever we say. He’s not just talking about empty words, but words spoken out of faith drawn from the Word, and when you speak, the Holy Spirit charges those words with life; they are inundated with power and life enough to effect a change. This is about personalizing the Word, for instance you could say “When the LORD turned things around and caused them to work out for my good, I was like one who was dreaming [it seemed so unreal]. Then was my mouth filled with laughter, and my tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for her. The LORD hath done great things for me; whereof I am glad.” (Psalm 126:1-3) or “I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season; my leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever I do shall prosper.” (Psalm 1:3). I do this all the time and I’ve been having what I’ve been declaring.

A new creation doesn’t just speak positively but he/she speaks the Word; his/her affirmations are from the Word. You affirm what God has said in His Word and speak in agreement with it. This is how your affirmations will become your testimonies; you will have whatsoever you say! Get the Word of God in your mouth, let it not depart from your lips but meditate on it day and night so that you can make your way prosperous and have good success(Joshua 1:8). Your next higher life experience is on your mouth; it’s on your tongue. What have you been declaring or affirming ? Are those things that you’ve been saying a result of what God has said? If not, you need to look into the Word and align your speech and thinking with the Word. Don’t stop talking it, keep saying it day and night! Personalize the Word, put your name there and let your affirmations be your testimony!

Confession:

I affirm that I am making progress with giant strides; I am overcoming the world and its systems and nothing shall be impossible to me. I declare that with the Word in my mouth and faith in my heart, I am unstoppable for my affirmations shall become my testimony, in the Name of Jesus! Glory to God!
