We are not who WE say we are

In March 0f 2007- a friend of mine came to me and gave me a piece of paper. She basically told me that she was sick of hearing me say negative stuff about myself and she asked me to read this piece of paper and sign it if I could agree to it. It took me several weeks to be able to sign it. I have asked her permission to share it with you. I hope that it helps you as much as it helped me.

At the top of the paper was this title "Holly is not allowed to call herself a heifer 30 day commitment:"

Psalm 139:14- I will praise You Lord, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Psalm 139: 17, 18 - How precious are Your thoughts toward me, Oh God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand..

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans of welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Zephaniah 3:17- The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; he will exalt over you with singing

Ephesians 2:9 - For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Proverbs 23:7- For as he thinks in his heart, so is he [and so does that man become]

Proverbs 21:23- He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles

Matthew 12:34- ...For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks

Matthew 15:11- Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

Galatians 3:29 - And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Philippians 4:8 - Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, mediate on these things.

Romans 15:13- Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I am the Bride of Christ, I am the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in me, I am to God the fragrance of Christ, I am blessed beyond the curse, I am saved, healed, restored and forgiven through the blood of Jesus. I will set my mind on things above and renew my mind according to the Word of God so that I can walk in the fullness of all that God has for me. I will cast down every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and I will bring it into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I will give praise and thanks to the One who made me to be unique. I will not make degrading comments about myself. I choose to line up my thinking with the Word of God and believe what God believes about me, being confident that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Because Romans 10:17 states that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, I know that I need to speak the Word of God out loud so that I can hear it, and then it will resonate in me and build faith and confidence in my heart and spirit.

I, _________ (insert name), commit to speaking the above scriptures and Godly encouragement over myself once per day for 30 days in order to help form a habit of believing the best about myself. I am free to add my own additional scriptures and Godly encouragement.



We have got to start being those who listen to what God say we are and NOT what our past says we are, not what our friends say we are, not what our guilt says we are, not what our weight says we are. I pray that every one who reads this will take an opportunity to examine how you talk ABOUT yourself TO yourself. Do you need to sign this commitment??
