SPEAK TO YOURSELF
 
Psalms 42:11 (TPT), Ephesians 5:18-19

So I say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be disturbed. For I know my God will break through for me.” Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise him all over again. Yes, living before his face is my saving grace! *And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 

Just like we speak our desires to God in prayer, and we speak to situations and things to declare and enforce God’s will over them, we must also speak to ourselves to renew our minds, to activate God’s will in our lives, and to align ourselves to what God has said concerning us.

In our first text above, David was speaking to himself. You must learn how to encourage yourself in the Lord like David did in 1Samuel 30:6. Practice talking yourself into the right mood and frame of mind by telling yourself what God says about you. Tell yourself who you are, where you are, what you have, and what you can do – in Christ, by Christ, through Christ, and with Christ.  As you come under the influence of the Spirit while studying God’s word or praying, speak the mind of God to yourself. Declare your realities in God and program your mind and your life with God’s will for you.  

After hearing about Jesus, the woman with the issue of blood told herself that she would touch Jesus’ garment and she would be healed, (Mark 5:27-28). What are you saying to yourself? Jesus said you would have whatsoever you say, (Mark 11:23). God has said He will never leave you nor forsake you, so that you may boldly say He is your helper and you will not be afraid of what man can do to you, (Heb. 13:5-6). 

Faith Declaration:
I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I am above only, the head and not the tail, the first and not the last
