Here are four prosperity affirmations which, if consciously and conscientiously applied, can transform your experience of life in terms of abundance, spirituality and relationships. These affirmations complete a set of 12 affirmations drawn from the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and Jesus' two great commandments described in Matthew 22:37-39. They help us integrate our relationships with each other and with God. I believe that often we hear commandments and wish to obey them, but we may stumble because we don't have a process to make the commandments part of our behavior. By acting on one of these affirmations each day, we are able to internalize and practice powerful spiritual truths.
These four Affirmations can stand alone as a summary of the ideas contained in the 10 Commandments and Jesus' instruction to love God with our entire being and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
"I honor, glorify and give witness to the accessibility of the Source of my wealth". Here we affirm that we are willing to talk about and stand in the Truth that God is the One Source of everything we need and desire. We deny the power of poverty and we affirm that God's abundance is always available to us. We affirm this for ourselves and others, especially those who may feel a sense of lack or insufficiency.
"I claim my own wealth and give thanks for the wealth of others". The focus of this affirmation is inward. Here we give attention to our inner attitudes that create the outer effects in our relationships and circumstances. When we place our attention on the creation of our own wealth instead of worrying about what our neighbor has and we trust God's power to provide for us and our neighbor simultaneously, we are practicing a prosperity affirmation based on the 10th Commandment which warns against envy and jealousy. By practicing this affirmation we overcome the temptation to envy another person's blessings and possessions. This practice significantly helps us embody prosperity.
"I love the Source of my wealth with all of my heart, all of my mind and all of my soul". As we affirm our love for God, the Source of all that Is, we are establishing a personal relationship with God as Source. We develop a feeling of appreciation for everything that comes into our life. God is Love and prosperity is a manifestation of Love. Therefore, when we look to God, feeling love and appreciation, we receive the desires of our heart, even if we have not consciously asked for anything. By regularly practicing this affirmation, we learn through experience, that loving God totally is the only thing we need do.
"I honor, respect and appreciate my neighbor's wealth as though it were my own". The Truth of this affirmation refers to our attitude about another's wealth. We can infer from this affirmation the importance of our oneness with our neighbor. The practice of this affirmation prepares us to love one another as we love ourselves. As we affirm this last Affirmation, we consciously appreciate other people and respect their wealth.
Next Steps: In order to completely embody prosperity, take action by spending time with at least one of these 4 affirmations daily. I recommend crafting your own personal affirmations that you find empowering. The key is to spend time with these ideas and to make them your own. These 4 affirmations, will anchor your prospering relationship with other people and with God, the only Source of your wealth. By repeating and practicing these affirmations, you are not only creating powerful experiences of prosperity for yourself, you will also be creating possibilities of sufficiency and abundance for everyone with whom you have influence.
One of the things you can do, to accelerate your progress, is to talk about prosperity with family and friends.
