Has anyone ever asked you what you drive? Your answer usually goes like this, “I have a blue Chevy Canyon.” I have, I have signifies you possess something that belongs to you. You claimed the car that you own. Now if you were driving your sister’s car that you narrowed that day, you might reply, “I am driving my sister’s orange Jeep Renegade.” You are agreeing you are driving the car for the day, but deny that it belongs to you. Sickness is an energy that might attract itself to you, but Do Not Claim It or accept it as yours.
When you say, “I have horrible headaches,” you are acknowledging that it belongs to you. “I have arthritis,” does it belong to you” is it yours? You are what you say you are. When you say it, you are telling your brain to process it.
It is just like when we say we’re tired all the time, and we can actually feel ourselves getting more tired.
Instead, say something like, “I am currently experiencing these symptoms.” It describes what is happening, but does not establish ownership.
These are better ways to say what needs to be said, and should only be said when it’s necessary. Rather than continually repeating these words and focus on them focus on the end result, whether health comes miraculously, through doctors, medicine, or holistic treatments, or change of diet; it does make a difference – there is power in our words.
“For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body” – James 3:2-3 (NKJV)
