The bible is like a roadmap with hidden treasures spread throughout its pages. It contains the most valuable gems that anyone could possess. These valuable gems are the promises (phrases and statements) inspired by God himself.
They make wonderful affirmations or declarations to say and pray. They help in our efforts to reach out to our creator; they encourage and lift our spirits; they help to increase our faith, and they give us peace of mind.
God's words are carriers of power that we can apply to our own lives.
The bible is full of these great treasures. There are promises for love, hope, kindness, forgiveness, protection, deliverance, wisdom, understanding, prosperity, health and healing.
Jesus taught using parables to explain "the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." He said that it is like treasure hidden in a field. He also said that it is like finding a pearl of great price (Matthew 13:44, 45-46). The bible contains valuable and costly gems that are hidden throughout its pages.
Jesus paid a valuable price for us with his life. He must have believed us to be worthy of advocating, defending, and fighting for.
God sees great potential in every one of us, even when we can't. He can communicate his love and counsel to us through the bible. It is written to inspire us to believe in him for anything and everything that pertains to life.
If we want to live healthier and happier lives, we need to fill our minds with his hidden treasures.
God pays and rewards us with his life changing promises that he has purchased himself, through the life and death of his Son. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "yes" in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). As we read, hear, and speak his promises, we apply his valuable kingdom principles to our own lives.
So, if you want to change your destiny, you have to forcefully change your thinking. Affirmations on love, forgiveness, protection, wisdom, understanding, prosperity and health, do just that!
