Pastor Chris preached "You are outrageously loved."
Often our self esteem gets in the way of our growth. We often hold on to the past, to hurt, pain, anger and resentment. We "deserve" to feel that way because of what happened. You think "I'm a screw-up! I'm a failure! Things will NEVER get better! You don't realize it, but one of the reasons you are stuck is that you are applying a Kingdom principle to your self. You are speaking defeat to yourself. We have the power of life and death in our words. Being made in God's likeness means we have his attributes. As He spoke the Universe into being, We, with our tongue, have an instrument of great power! You can bring life or death by what you say. When you beat yourself up, you're prophesying defeat. You are commanding defeat to occur. BECAUSE WE JUDGE OURSELVES IT IS GIVEN BACK TO US IN THE SAME MEASURE. That's why things don't change!
In the Our Father Jesus prayed in Matt 6:12"And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors." We are asking God to forgive us to the same degree we forgive. That includes OURSELVES!
If we don't forgive ourselves, we devalue the Blood of Jesus. We are saying in effect "His Blood is NOT SUFFICIENT to deal with my situation." Think on what this really means.
Did Jesus die for your sins, your pain, your sicknesses or not? If not, you can X out of this page and go on in defeat. If YES, then you can appropriate the HEALING BLOOD OF JESUS!!
Isaiah 53:5 says: "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by Hisstripes we are healed."
If this is true, you need to proclaim this verse. If you have to, print it in big letters and post it in a conspicuous place.
Allow the Healing power of Our Savior to work in your life. Forgive yourself. He ALREADY DID!! You will find that this will bring INCREDIBLE freedom. Look at this incredible verse:
John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be freeindeed." You can post this up on your wall too. Loudly proclaim it to your situation. God does not lie.
