REFORMATION OF THE MIND BY THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD


              Word that was in his heart.
                  “We have the same spirit of faith. As it is written, “I
              believed,  and  therefore  I  have  spoken.  So  we  also
              believe and therefore speak,…”       2 Corinthians 4:13

              DAY SEVENTEEN:

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

                            AFFIRM CONSTANTLY

                  You cannot separate affirmation from words. Real
              affirmation  is  words  spoken  continuously.  That  is
              why Paul told Timothy to affirm repeatedly the things
              he was teaching him.
                  The Greek word translated as “constantly affirm”
              is  διαβεβαιοομαι  transliterated  as  (diabebaioomai)
                          ́
              and means, “to confirm thoroughly (by words), that is,
              asseverate: - affirm constantly.”
                  There  is  power  in  affirmation.  There  is  greater
              power in the constant and consistent affirmation of
              the Truth. This pleases God and brings great results
              in our lives. “Let us be consistent and persistent with
              our affirmation of the truth!” So be it!
                  “Let  us  firmly  hold  the  profession  of  our  faith
              without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
                                                                           Hebrews 10:23

              DAY EIGHTEEN:

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

                            CROSS-EXAMINATION

                  Again,  you  cannot  separate  affirmation  from
              words.  Effective  Biblical  affirmation  is  the  Truth
