Self-Talk
103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Who was King David talking to? He was talking to himself, his essence, which is his soul.
The Bible is full of Self-Talk. Self-Talk is good, it is not bad, IF you are saying good things, not bad things. Good things are good ONLY if they are GOD things.
I saw a bunch of big fat guys screaming the other day, WE ARE GREAT! I guess that was self-talk too, but the looks on their faces said otherwise. Maybe that type of mentality will make them money, but it will not make them great. Only God is great.
Godly Self-Talk is good, with eternal results. Worldly Self-Talk is worldly, with results that will only last as long as the economy and your physical health holds up. Godly Self-Talk is the only self-talk worth talking about.
IN JUDE 1″19-21
…19These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. 20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.…
If you are careful to repeat to yourself the things that God tells you through His Word, EVERY THING IS GREAT!
Teaching children self-talk is very important. Especially when the kids you work with are convinced that they are nothing, that they will never be any thing. They see nothing in themselves. We help them by teaching them what God says about them, and teaching them to build themselves up in their holy faith.
How? By teaching them self-talk. It begins with what we say about them. Helping them to believe it. I say ‘beautiful’ a lot to the little girls. Why? Because I don’t want them to go bannanas over the first clown that calls them beautiful. They have to see themselves at beautiful, so when Don Juan whistles at them and says they are beautiful, they can answer ‘I KNOW” and walk away in slow motion.
How you feel about yourself is dictated how you see yourself. If you see yourself as God sees you, then it’s all good. When you repeat those God thoughts, then start to self-talk your way to health. Refuse to negative-talk about yourself, and you will start seeing a difference.
Here’s my favorit self-talk part of the Bible Luke 15
The Parable of the Prodigal Son
…
16“And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.
17“But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!
18‘I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight;…
Self-talk all the way baby!
