Affirmations affect our mind, will, and emotions. They defeat the lies that might surface, or the fiery darts that seek to penetrate. Faith affirmations are living truth that defeat and conquer what tries to take us down and away from trusting the Lord in the moment.

Consider faith to faith like a trapeze artist. They have to let go of the first bar they are holding onto. They cannot reach out and grasp the oncoming bar until they let go. Paul wrote something essential for us to grasp. 

Philippians 3:13 says, “…one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press…” The morning of November 9, 2018 the Holy Spirit spoke this. “The forgetting is in the releasing.” That literally empowered me to press into a new venture ~ now faith backed by a verse previously hidden in my heart.
