When we confess God's word out loud, the angels hear it and go to work for us, Joyce Meyer states in the introduction to this useful little book.
The angels are not activated by our complaining, murmuring, doubting, and unbelief.
Anyone at all familiar with Joyce Meyer and her daily television program and her writings knows that she preaches that Christianity is truly a gospel of good news and that God wants us to be happy and enjoy our lives.
This book contains over 200 pages of scriptures categorized by topic. According to Joyce Meyer, speaking these scriptures aloud will help reset our thinking to good and positive things.
There is actually some psychological basis for what Joyce says. Some therapists teach their patients to recognize negative, self-defeating thoughts and replace them with positive, affirming ones. And what better positive, affirming thoughts and words can be found than those in the scriptures!?!
After reading the book once all the way through, I will keep it handy and use it to replace negative, defeating thoughts with positive, uplifting ones.
