Declaration of Truth: I am strong in the Lord!

I am strong in the Lord and in His mighty power! I fight in ALL the armor of God! ⁠
⁠
Those are Declarations of Truth I say over my life regularly: ⁠
⁠
Truth statements have become one of the key spiritual disciplines that help me replace the enemy’s lies with the Truth of God’s Word. Every one of my declarations is rooted in Scripture:⁠
⁠
Ephesians 6:10-11 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. ⁠
⁠
A couple of things about those verses. First, it says that I am to be strong IN THE LORD! Don’t miss that. ⁠
⁠
So often, I believe that I have to rely on my own strength to fight the spiritual battles of life. But I am not told to be strong in myself, but to be strong IN THE LORD! ⁠
⁠
Second, the way we are strong in the Lord is by making sure we are putting on ALL of His armor. ⁠
⁠
I may not have to rely on my own strength, but I do need to put on God’s armor to be in His. ⁠
⁠
Ephesians 6:12-18 lists out the armor of God that we need to be strong in. I encourage you to read it on your own.
⁠
Truth statements like these are much more than self-help or positive affirmations. Truth statements are just that…TRUTH! ⁠
⁠
Scripture tells us that the enemy is the father of lies. He uses those lies to distract us, derail us, and destroy us. The only way lies are defeated is by replacing them with Truth.⁠
⁠
Say it! Believe it! Live it! I am strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. I fight in ALL the armor of God.
