When I was just 12 years-old, I started calling myself "fat."
Back then, I had no idea about
the power words contain.
As I started calling myself "fat," I started practicing habits that were consistent with "fat." Soon, I had excess fat on my body. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
During my weight loss journey, an important lesson I had to learn was to change my confession. The word "confess"
means "to say the same."
Think about that for a moment; the words you are saying are either in agreement with what the world says or with what God says.
Which one do you believe and say the most?
I had to learn "to say the same" thing that God was saying! In most cases, what I was saying about myself was the opposite of what He was saying.
A TBYT reader named Jo shared some powerful faith confessions the other day and I had to share them with you.
