Crowned From Within: Defining Your I AM with Love and Honour

"If you do well, will you not have honour?" - Genesis 4:7

To honour yourself isn't weakness. It's prophecy. It's power.  Don't laugh! It's true....

"So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?” - Genesis 18:13

The Bible doesn’t tell you to wait on the world’s opinion. It shows you how to step into identity before the evidence arrived. Neville Goddard taught that the world is yourself pushed out — so if you want your reflection to change, you start by assuming the image of who you choose to be.

“I AM WHO I AM.” - Exodus 3:14

That assumption, sustained, is praise.

And praise isn’t just encouraged in the Bible — it’s central. Judah, whose name means praise, is the tribe through which the Messiah is foretold. This is no accident. The entire arc of transformation begins and unfolds through praise. It is not a reaction to fulfilment — it is the power that births it.

Real praise sounds like this:

• I speak as one already crowned.

• I praise the I AM within me that calls things not seen as though they were.

• I wear the fulfilment of my desire like a royal robe.

• I do not beg — I decree.

• I stand inside the victory before it breaks into sight.

This isn’t noise. It’s a statement of spiritual law.

When you praise, you align with the end. You stop asking and start walking. You treat your desire not as a possibility — but as something already born within you, seeking expression. The gates are lifted from the inside out.

• My inner praise lifts the gates to let the King of Glory in — and that King is my fulfilled self.

• I honour myself by accepting nothing less than what I’ve imagined.

• I walk in the echo of prayers already answered.

• To love myself is to worship the image of God I carry and express.

• I dare to call myself what I would be — and let the world catch up.

Further Declarations of Praise

To deepen this posture of praise and inner sovereignty, consider these additional affirmations, inspired by the same spiritual power and biblical symbolism:

I ascend the throne of my desire by praising its reality within.

I make no apology for expecting what I’ve already received in spirit.

I walk as the Word made flesh — imagined, believed, and now embodied.

My silence speaks louder than doubt — for I have already seen the end.

Praise is my permission slip — it declares the work finished.

To accept less would be to deny the God who imagined through me.

I wear the unseen like armour — it fits me better than fear ever did.

I magnify the Lord by magnifying the image He gave me to express.

I am not becoming great — I am remembering I was crowned before birth.

The scepter of imagination rules me now — not circumstance.

This is praise as identity.
This is love without apology.
This is self-recognition as spiritual law.

You are not becoming.
You are remembering who you are.
