I Am: The Power of Personal Declaration

This book is about the power of your words to shape your destiny, and as you will quickly find out, your words are highly expressive of your core beliefs and the thoughts they produce. “For out of the abundance of the heart (subconscious mind), the mouth speaks.” (Matt. 12:34; ESV)When ancient scriptures speak of the heart – Greek (kardia), Hebrew (Nephesh or Leb) – it is not speaking of the physiological organ but of the right lobe of the soul, in contemporary thought referred to as the subconscious mind. So while we can understand that our words have physicality, our thoughts carry an even greater power and physicality. It is our thoughts that drive our speech, especially those inner-conversations that are so influential in shaping our behavior and habits. We have all heard, in some form or another, that as a man thinks in his mind, so is he. Gaining a lucid perspicacity of this truth is the beginning of the development of the infinite power necessary to control your destiny and so much more. Not only does your mind influence the internal mechanism of your character, but it directly impacts the external reality of your circumstances. A person’s condition cannot be divorced from the pattern of their thoughts because their condition is the fruit of their thinking.
