Today is Friday, February 2nd, 2007; Karen's Korner #990
I have had the New York Times bestseller book "Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential" by Joel Osteen, pastor of one of the largest Protestant churches in the United States, for a number of months. I am not reading it like a novel; instead I read several pages or maybe a chapter and then come back to read some more another day.
A couple of days ago I read this part (page 140):
Joel penned, "Allow me to make some declarations in your life:"
* I declare that you are blessed with God's supernatural wisdom, and you have clear direction in your life.
* I declare that you are blessed with creativity, with courage, with ability, and with abundance.
* I declare that you are blessed with a strong will and with self-control and self-discipline.
* I declare that you are blessed with a great family, with good friends, with good health, and with faith, favor, and fulfillment.
* I declare that you are blessed with success, with supernatural strength, with promotion, and with divine protection.
* I declare that you are blessed with an obedient heart and with a positive outlook on life.
* I declare that any curse that has ever been spoken over you, is broken right now.
* I declare that you are blessed in the city. You are blessed in the country. You are blessed when you go in. You are blessed when you come out.
* I declare that everything you put your hand to do is going to prosper and succeed.
* I declare that you are blessed!
I encourage you to receive these words and to meditate on them; let them sink down deeply into your heart and mind and become a reality in your life. Practice doing something similar with your family. Learn to speak blessings over your life, your friends, your future. Remember a blessing is not a blessing until it is spoken. If you'll do your part and start boldly speaking blessings over your life and the lives of those around you, God will provide everything you need to live the life of abundance He wants you to have."
