Have you ever heard of affirmations? Affirmations are short, powerful sentences that declare something as true — often about yourself, your purpose, or your future — to help reinforce a positive mindset. But did you know that this is actually a principle from the word of God? Life and death is in the power of the tongue! (Proverbs 18:21)

Affirmations are declarations of faith — spoken truths aligned with God’s Word — that remind you who you are in Christ and what He has promised.

So speak these truths over yourself, out loud! They are all based on the word of God and are true for the children of God!

I am walking in God’s divine purpose.

Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

I am wise and make good decisions.

James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

I am forgiven and free from my past.

2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

I am prosperous and live in abundance.

Psalm 1:3
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”

I am filled with peace and joy.

Romans 15:13
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

I am a child of God—loved and chosen.

Ephesians 1:4-5
“…just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world… having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will…”

I am becoming the best version of myself.

Philippians 1:6
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

I am disciplined and focused.

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

I am qualified and equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:17
“That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

I am confident and courageous.

Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

It’s snowing in the Netherlands! It’s been a while since we’ve been seen multiple days and layers of snow on the streets of The Hague – the beautiful city of Maasbach Radio. Looking outside the window of the radio studio and seeing streets of white, reminded me of how amazing our God is. I love singing the old Dutch hymn that says:

Whiter than the snow
Whiter than the snow
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb
And I shall be whiter than snow

Snow is actually mentioned multiple times in the Bible. Let’s look at five Biblical principles we can learn from… snow!

Purity & Cleansing
Snow represents spiritual purity and cleansing from sin. Just as snow is white and spotless, God promises to cleanse us completely when we repent.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
— Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)

God’s Power & Sovereignty
Snow reminds us that creation obeys God’s command. He controls the natural world, demonstrating His absolute authority.
“For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth.’”
— Job 37:6 (NKJV)

Provision & Faithfulness
Snow is part of God’s provision for the earth—watering the ground so it can later bring forth fruit. Likewise, God’s Word always accomplishes His purpose.
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven… So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth.”
— Isaiah 55:10–11 (NKJV)

Humility Before God
Snow can halt human activity and remind us how small we are compared to God’s wisdom and design. It calls us to humility and reverence.
“Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail?”
— Job 38:22 (NKJV)

Rest & Renewal
Snow often brings stillness and quiet, reflecting God’s invitation to rest in Him and trust His work, even when things seem paused.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)

I am in awe of our amazing God Who demonstrates His character in nature. Come join me on Miracle Monday on Maasbach Radio and let’s talk about it a little more!

Tauren Wells is giving away a signed copy of his brand-new book “Joy Bomb: Unleash Jesus’s Explosive Joy for an Extraordinary Life” exclusively to a Maasbach Radio listener!

This Thanksgiving, Maasbach Radio is celebrating gratitude and JOY — and Pastor Tauren’s book is the perfect guide to help you take your joy back.

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.” — Psalm 100:4
“In Your presence there is fullness of joy.” — Psalm 16:11

Maybe you’re navigating a confusing season…
Maybe anxiety has been wearing you down…
Maybe everything just feels a bit blah lately…

Bible teacher, songwriter, and one of Christian music’s most contagiously joyful voices, Pastor Tauren Wells has a powerful reminder for you: Jesus’ first message was about how to be truly happy. Think about it: How important to the heart of God must your joy be if Jesus uses the word “happy” eight times in his first recorded sermon on planet Earth (aka: the Beatitudes)?

How to WIN your signed copy of JOY BOMB!

Ben Fuller is back on Maasbach Radio and we can’t believe he forgot to bring this one thing… his mug!

We’re used to seeing Ben carry around his mug everywhere he goes, but when he arrived at the Maasbach Radio studio on location we noticed he didn’t have his mug with him. Luckily, we had a ‘Miracle Day Mug’ to give to him and everything was back to normal.

You’ll be hearing a special message and prayer from Ben Fuller this week on Maasbach Radio. Make sure you’re subscribed to Maasbach Radio’s Youtube channel so you won’t miss a thing. May you be encouraged as you’re tuning in to Maasbach Radio today.

Check out this bilingual acoustic version of the soothing song ‘Still waters (Psalm 23)’ by Leanna Crawford, joined by Christy Grace.

CHORUS – ENGLISH & DUTCH
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
Hij leidt mij naar stil water en angst ken ik niet
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Weet ik dat U bij mij bent, mijn Vader, mijn vriend
Your goodness and mercy will follow me all of my days
Aan Uw water zo stil en zo kalm

BRIDGE – ENGLISH & DUTCH
Still waters run through any valley I could find
Ik leg angsten neer aan de hemelse rivier
Your word has been true in every season of my life
I believe, yes, I believe

CHORUS – DUTCH & ENGLISH
De Heer is mijn Herder, mij ontbreekt niets
He leads me by still waters ’til my fears are gone
Als ik ga door valleien vol schaduw van dood
Oh, I know You are with me, my Father, my friend
Uw goedheid, genade die volgen mij, mijn leven lang
I know by Your still waters I’m safe

VERSE – ENGLISH
When I’m feeling my feet are tired
From running so hard for miles
You are the air I really need

VERSE – DUTCH
Als het leven mij heen en weer slaat
En ik wankel in mijn positie
Zie ik uw hand in elk moment

PRE-CHORUS – ENGLISH
And every time
I’m stuck in indecision
Losing my vision
You close the distance

CHORUS – DUTCH
Ik hoef het niet te zien om te geloven
Mijn hele leven heb ik U van node
En ik, voel u in het vuur en de regen
CHORUS – ENGLISH
So help me learn to listen when You’re speaking
‘Cause love is not a secret that You’re keeping
And I I’ve felt You when walls are caving in
Yeah You’re with me in the whisper and the wind

BRIDGE – ENGLISH
I don’t wanna waste any time
Just looking for You in the…
BRIDGE – DUTCH
…lucht, U bent dichterbij dan gevoel
en U ademt door mij heen

CHORUS – DUTCH
Ik hoef het niet te zien om te geloven
Mijn hele leven heb ik U van node
En ik, voel u in het vuur en de regen

Check out this bilingual acoustic version of CAIN’s victory anthem: ‘I made it’ by Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain joined by Christy Grace and Jess Maasbach.

BRIDGE – ENGLISH
I made it through more
than I thought that I could
I walked through the worst
But it worked for my good
It’s a miracle that I can stand here and say
I made it, oh I made it

BRIDGE – DUTCH
Ik kwam erdoorheen
Veel meer dan ik aankon
Valleien doorstaan
Maar U draaide het om
’t is een wonder dat ik hier kan staan en ik zeg
Ik ben er, oh ik ben er

CHORUS – ENGLISH
I’m coming out the other side stronger
One foot in front of the other
Hands still raising, hearts still praising
I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it

CHORUS – DUTCH
Door de stormen van hel en hoog water
Verliet ik nooit de hand van mijn Vader
Ik adem en ik dank U Jezus
Ik ben er, ik ben er, ik ben er, ik ben er

Check out this bilingual acoustic version of the hitsong ‘Counting my blessings’ by Seph Schlueter and Christy Grace.

One, two, three up to infinity
I’d run out of numbers
Before I could thank You for everything

Één, twee, drie, tot in oneindigheid
Niet genoeg cijfers om u te bedanken
voor alles, Heer

God, I’m still counting my blessings
For all that You’ve done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find

Aan deze kant van de hemel
Schieten minuten te kort
Toch tel ik al mijn zegeningen
Ook al raken de cijfers op

I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can’t count that high
