In Paul's second letter to the first century church in Corinth he reminds us that we are to wage war against every system of thought that disparages true knowledge of God. But the apostle quickly adds that we are not to do battle using the weapons that the world employs. But rather to wield weapons with divine power. Few would consider affirmation a suitable weapon in the warfare that God calls us to. But given that accusation is a favorite weapon of our Adversary, and that affirmation is a near opposite of accusation, it sort of makes sanctified sense to regard affirmation as a weapon of spiritual warfare.
If you doubt this, then read this wonderful excerpt from the book, Practicing Affirmation, by Sam Crabtree. And if you're convinced, then get out there and start "thrusting and parrying" with the sword of affirmation until every thought is taken captive and made obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ.
