1. Alpha & Omega, 1:8

Self-talk, faith-statements, catch-phrases and affirmations are powerful!
In my Success Principles Coach Training Program, I teach how the conscious mind processes up to 40 stimuli per second while the subconscious mind is processing up to 20 million stimuli per second.
Solid affirmations and self-talk are one the most obvious tools for getting our subconscious to support our conscious goals. Here are eight of my favorites (taken from my book, Feeling Loved). Login to your free trial membership to access the entire book in eVersion.
===================
1. God can use THIS for good!
Everything that comes into my life, Satan wants to use to destroy me. Everything that comes into my life, God wants to use for my good. I choose to give everything to God for good!
===================
2. There is time to do everything God wants me to do.
There is not time to do everything. There is not time to everything good. There is not time to do everything everyone else wants me to do and there is not even time to do everything I want to do. But there IS time to do everything God wants me to do.
===================
3. Don’t lead. Follow Jesus.
Anywhere with Jesus, no where without Him.
===================
4. Praise through it.
I will offer up the sacrifice of praise! I choose to be as thankful today as I will be on the day I see Jesus face-to-face and understand how He protected me, sheltered me, and even blessed me through this difficult time.
===================
5. L.I.V.E – Live In View of Eternity.
Everything I do today, in and through Christ, is storing up rewards for me in heaven. No exceptions.
===================
6. Say “Yes!”
When I say yes to one thing, I have, in actuality, said no to what I would have done with those resources otherwise. It is never just yes or no. It is always a combination of both. Sometimes the only way I can say yes to God is to say no to someone else.
===================
7. Look up more than you look around.
God is NOT fretting about this!
===================
8. Everything in the light.
I run every selfish, sinful or spiteful thought to Jesus, keeping everything in the light so Satan has nothing to use against me in the dark. This is God’s will and way.
When things get a bit crazy around you, go UP for air through prayer. It brings everything back into perspective!
1. Meditate on God’s unfailing love for you. Psalm 48:9
2. Meditate on God’s precepts and consider His ways. Psalm 119:15
3. Meditate on God’s wonders. Psalm 119:27
4. Meditate on God’s promises. Psalm 119:148
5. Meditate on all God’s works and consider what His hands have done. Psalm 143:5
Quoted from “Feeling Loved: Connecting with God in the Minutes You Have,” pages 56-57. by Marnie Swedberg.
A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.
The Pastor said to him, “You need to join the Army of the Lord!”
My friend replied, “I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.”
Pastor questioned, “How come I don’t see you except at Christmas and Easter?”
