Pure Challenge #3

    For this week the Pure Challenge is to write your own declarations! Declaring positive things over your life and constantly speaking a message of faith is very important! Many churches across the world use declarations during their services to help set the atmosphere for God and prepare their congregation for a powerful word. It's important to not only do this on Sunday mornings but also every day! 

  I enjoy doing declarations so much that it's been on my mind to actually write some for myself. Although there are already thousands of declarations out there that you can find on the internet or in books I know that you can reach an even deeper level when you tailor declarations to your life specifically. As Christians we have to be intentional in our movements and all the things that we do, by making declarative statements with your needs in mind it's going to help create strongholds around you and keep out any thoughts of fear and doubt.

Pure Tip: Having some "go-to" key phrases that you can use at any time to speak against the enemy or stressful situations that come up during your day will help cut out negativity and enhance your day by helping you walk by faith!

Step 1: Brainstorm

     Start deciding what thing you want to speak over your life by listing things that you are having trouble with. For example if you struggle with your health you may write a declaration like "I will be strong and healthy" or "I am healed" 

Step 2: Narrow them down
     The ideal size for your daily declarations is 15-25 lines. Of course they can be as long as you want them to be but challenge yourself to reduce the amount of lines if you feel the declaration is getting to long. Sometimes some of your lines may be included from the same prpose and you only need one!

Step 3: Make your final copy
     Just like when writing an essay you have drafts but once you know what you want to say and have the lines in an order that you're happy with be sure to type/write them up nicely so you can put them on your wall and see them daily!

Step 4: Send a copy of your daily declarations to Pure Jess
    I would love to read the declarations that you all come up with! You can post them on my Facebook page (Pure Jess) , #PureChallenge under a picture on Instagram, or post them on Twitter and tag me @PureJess_

Step 5: Start speaking them daily! 
   After you have these declarations you want to be sure to use these declarative statements every day! Repetition is key and speaking them with conviction is also important! Make sure you repeat them daily!
