Reverse the negative confession into positive!


        Dear readers, I would like to take you on a journey of transformation with me. It is so much fun to walk alongside of someone to discover God’s presence and beauty manifest.

For a very long period of my life I spoke a negative confession over and over. Inside of me I had a desire to turn that around, but I felt blocked by my own words. That wrong confession was a statement “I don’t know.” I used to say this phrase so many times a day and just imagine how many times that would be a year. I ran to that statement every time I saw a difficulty, every time someone asked me a question and at other various times. One time the Lord brought that to my attention, and I had a strong urge to change that. However, there was no visible long lasting results, I still continued to use that negative confession.
In hearing Olga Golikova preach, the Lord spoke through her that we need to pay attention to the little details of our lives and to bring them to order. She used an example of wrong speech, such as “I don’t know,” “I can’t,” and others. She explained that a negative habit takes a while to change, but we need to take responsibility and become diligent.  Instead of saying wrong confessions, as such above, we can say, “I want to know,” or “I would like to find out,” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Today I was putting to practice that which I heard yesterday. To my amazement how quick and easy those negative words want to slip out of my mouth and I had to gird them with the right words. It is a fun and enjoyable work to catch those foxes, so that my garden may be beautiful and prosperous to the Lord and to others.
