INWARD TRANSFORMATION

          or affirmed. However, the sworn testimony can still
          not be the Truth. People do not always tell the Truth.
          What are your words affirming in your life today?
              In the courtroom of life, we must affirm the Truth.
          Our testimony must agree with what God has said,
          or  we  will  possess  no  victory.  John,  the  Revelator,
          affirmed that the believers overcame the Devil “by the
          blood  of  the  Lamb  and  by  the  word  of  their
          testimony,  and  they  loved  not  their  lives  unto  the
          death.” (12:11) God has already done His part. Jesus,
          the Lamb of God, has died for you. Do you agree with
          everything  God  has  said  the  blood  of  Jesus  has
          accomplished?  What  are  you  affirming  about  it  in
          your life? What is your testimony today?
              “You are of God, little children, and have overcome
          them, because He who is in you is greater than he who
          is in the world.”                                            1 John 4:4

          DAY SIXTEEN:

              Paul to Titus, "This is a faithful saying, and these
          things I want you constantly to affirm,…”

                   WE AFFIRM WITH OUR WORDS

              The primary way in which we affirm our belief in
          or  about  something  is  with  our  words.  Words  are
          containers. Our words  contain our thoughts, ideas,
          views, opinions, and beliefs. Consequently, it is not
          hard to discover what occupies someone's thoughts
          and what they believe. Eventually, it will flow forth
          from their lips. What is in a person’s mind will get
          into  their  heart.  What  is  in  someone's  heart  in
          abundance will overflow from it right through their
          lips.
              What are your words affirming  about what is in
          your heart? Paul, quoting the Psalmist, affirmed this
          Truth  to  the  Corinthians.  He  affirmed  to  them  the
