For many years, my mouth got me in trouble. As I grew in my relationship with God, I came to realize words have power and my negative words were not helping me enjoy my life. Over time, I was able to stop speaking negatively, and I saw some improvement, but not as much as I wanted.
Then one day, as I was praying, I sensed God speaking to my heart, "Joyce, you have stopped saying negative things, but you have not started saying positive things." I knew God's Word is full of positive, life-giving, life-changing truth, so I began to make a list of scriptures that reflected the positive changes I hoped to see in my life. I then started speaking those words aloud, sometimes several times per day, and the results were amazing.
Go through the Bible and identify scriptures that represent God's truth and perspective on the situations important in your life. (Joyce Meyers-Happiness)
I am complete in Him Who is the Head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:10
I am born of God, and the evil one does not touch me. 1 John 5:18
I have the Greater One living in me; greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
I can do all things through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:13
I am part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people. 1 Peter 2:9
I am submitted to God, and the devil flees from me because I resist him in the name of Jesus. James 4:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
