30 Day Daily Affirmation Challenge

Hello, Friends!

Thank you so much for your response on my recent post about How I Manage My Thoughts.  Learning to make a productive choice of what to think about and focus on is a daily challenge for me. However, I trust that God is in the sanctification business and I BELIEVE he is renewing my mind-and yours, too, if you want.  Are you ready for a little 30 Day Daily Affirmation Challenge?

One of the tips I suggested was to repeat affirmations daily. I decided the best way to share those with you was here on A Vintage Farmwife, so we created this beautiful PDF for you to print out, and now I want to invite you to participate with me in a 30 Day Daily Affirmation Challenge.

This affirmation list was shared with me by a person who runs a half-way house ministry in Florida for women coming out of addiction. The women are encouraged to recite these affirmations every morning. Those brave warriors often believe so many lies about themselves.

Unfortunately, many of the rest of us do, too. It is sooo important for us to really believe who we are in Christ. When that truth sinks in, we can bravely do hard things. We can bravely and humbly share our stories and be the light in a dark world.

Sometimes the hardest thing of all is just to BE YOU!!! Especially in this day and age when the bullies are out in full force with their shaming and “fact checking” and scolding all day long. But scriptures tell us NOT TO CONFORM to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED bY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.

The idea of renewing our minds gets me all excited because I don’t want to stay the old me. I want to be the new and improved me that God designed me to be, and I’m convinced that can only happen when I fully believe who God is and who HE SAYS THAT I AM BECAUSE OF CHRIST.

Can you imagine the glory of the church and the good we can accomplish when we leave our old ways of thinking behind and embrace HIM, die to our old selves and allow him to work in our hearts and minds? When we stop putting ourselves down and playing small and counting on others to do the work and humble bragging and worshipping all our idols and operating in fear and claiming everyone else has gifts, but we don’t?

I GET EXCITED JUST IMAGINING IT!!!!! WE get to live FREE!

I’ve been a slow learner in this area most of my life and people pleasing has been a huge part of it. I thought that the Christian thing to do was try to make YOU happy…and YOU….and YOU…and YOU.  Now I know better. I only need to worry about pleasing ONE person and all the rest will fall into place. Or not.

And that One person I need to please? That is my GOOD, GOOD HEAVENLY FATHER, He loves me enough to send his only son to die for my sins and yours. Ahhhhh. Love is such a good motivator!

Mind boggling.

Our identity is not about what we do nor is it about how we feel. Identity, ultimately, is about who GOD is and who HE says we are.

Let Him Introduce You

See, if He was given a chance to introduce you and respond to your silent, self-sabotaging thoughts, He would say:

• I chose her before the creation of the world and adopted her into my family by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.    Ephesians 1:4-11
• She is MY child.   John 1:12, Romans 8:14-15

• She is Christ’s friend.      John 15:15
• She is MY workmanship.  Ephesians 2:10
• She is chosen and appointed by MY son, Jesus Christ to bear His fruit.    John 15:16
• She is forgiven.    Matthew 26:28,  Ephesians 1:7
• She is sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.  Ephesians 1:13
• She is a new creation.    2 Corinthians 5:17
• She is alive with Christ.     Ephesians 2:5

• She is blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places.    Ephesians 1:3
• She is set free.   Romans 8:2, John 8:32
• She is not alone and does not need to fear.   Isaiah 43:1-2, Deut. 31:6-8
• She is victorious through the Lord Jesus Christ.   1 Cor. 15:57
• She is not controlled by the sinful nature but by the Spirit.    Romans 8:9
• She knows my voice and follows me.    John 10:27
• She has received eternal life and cannot be snatched out of My hand.   John 10:28
• She is able to hear MY voice.   John 8:47
• She does not belong to this world.    John 15:19
• She belongs to Me!    I Peter 2:9

Perhaps you need to be introduced to yourself!
