Conquering Low Self Esteem.

Low self esteem is the plague of many, bringing them down to levels bordering depression. Low self esteem will kill you , your future, your career, your marriage, your social life and will affect all of those around you. On the other hand, pride is associated with a high self esteem and is one of the seven deadly sins. Pride will kill you as well, so where is the middle line or the area of neutrality where you suffer neither from low self esteem or from pride.

First I would like to deal with those christians who are battling with low self esteem. Should you be battling with low self esteem, where you are under the impression that you are not worthy, or perhaps you feel that you are incapable, then you are highly mistaken. Jesus called you to Him. You did not choose Jesus, but rather He chose you, and He chose you because you are perfect for the plan that He has set out for you. John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit..."  If you are feeling incapable, then you are telling Jesus that He does not know what He is talking about and I doubt if  you really want to be saying that.

Jesus chose you for a purpose, and that is because somewhere you have a special quality that He wants to use. He created you for a purpose and going back we were all created in the Image of God. Now if you were created in the image of God, and Jesus has you set aside for a purpose, one that only can be accomplished through you, then I would say that that makes you kind of special. In fact it places you high above many that have not been called by Jesus.

What then is the cause of your low self image? Possibly it is because you are not happy with your capabilities. You can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you. Rely on Him and trust in Him, and you will be capable of the supernatural. I personally am not a doctor, and have not studied medicine, but I have seen many lame people walk, and all other sicknesses healed, and many blind people see, from the work that Jesus has done through me. I have received at times wisdom from above, that placed me far in the lead in business. You see I believe that I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. You are also capable of doing all the above and far greater things if you will only trust in Jesus and lean on Him.

The second major cause of low self  image is physical appearance. Possibly you have gained some weight. Possibly you feel inadequate as a woman because your bust is too small or possibly too large. Men often feel inadequate due to different causes such as the loss of hair or the size of their equipment. Firstly if it is your weight that worries you, then I am going to advise you to purchase the course called God's way to weight loss which is advertsed at the top right corner of this page. This course is incredible and will assist you in removing low self esteem from your life forever. Not only will you lose your low self esteem, but you will also lose weight permanently and you will become as God created you, and that is "Perfect".

As far as inadequacy in the area of sexual organs go, I thoroughly believe that God created you perfect and just the way He wanted you to be. He gave or will still give you a partner that is perfectly suited to you and whose requirements fit yours perfectly. Feelings of inadequacy are fueled by satan himself through the media, and especially pornography, where the image of the average person reflected is totally manipulated and is shown to you in such a way that will only leave you feeling totally inadequate and fuel your low self esteem. Leave that media behind and ask God to remove those images away from you. You are perfect. Read also the Virgin marriage.

In order to overcome your low self esteem, you have to believe that you are saved, and then believe that you were chosen, and remember that God does not choose junk, but only chooses the best. Then you need to study more of the bible to build your faith, not only in Christ, but also in yourself. You need to realise that satan himself has been active in your life, for whilst he is abler to convince you that you are worthless and inadequate, you are prevented from moving in the full power of the name of Jesus.

The opposite of low self esteem is the sin of pride. Pride is when you consider yourself to be far higher than you actually are. Pride is only able to come into your life when you are of the opinion that you have the power yourself and you forget that you have the power through Christ Jesus who strengthens you. That subtle little difference is what counts, you can do all things is pride, but you can do allthings through Christ Jesus, is walking in the power of the name of Jesus.

Now go and walk proudly in the name of Jesus.
