a recent study showed that women's magazines have 10 times more
advertisements promoting weight loss than men's magazines they said the
majority of people's problems are we don't like ourselves and a poor
self-image low self-esteem it shows up in every area of our lives I want to
share with you five tips to build your self-image and your body image
hey I'm Teresa bellboy and you're watching live your dreams I praise it is
human best in yourself today you're captivated and you're catapulted to live
your dreams I want to talk to you today about making improvements in your
self-image and even your body image why because it affects every area of your
life and I believe God's speaking to you today that it's time to boost your
confidence why so you can go after the dreams that God put in your heart like I
heard this story I thought it was so cute about this mayor who was on a float
with his wife going down the parade they're going down Main Street in this
parade well they were waving at the crowd you know seeing everybody all of a
sudden the mayor he just happened to point out there and he noticed his
wife's former boyfriend who now owned the local gas station when he kind of
Snickers sarcastically and he said aren't you glad you didn't marry him
you'd be working at a gas station she snickered and said now if I'd married
him he'd be the mayor I love that but she had such confidence in who she was
dingy well you've got to see you got changed the way you seen yourself if
you're going to fulfill your assignment in fact you may have heard of a man
named Jim Rohn who was a great motivator he's gone on to be with the Lord but
he's been a great motivator and a mentor to other people in fact he was a mentor
to Tony Robbins well Tony Robbins apparently grew up
very poor he said he had a very poor mentality and he just didn't expect much
out of life well Jim Rohn began to mentor him teaching success and he told
him right off the bat he said Tony you've got to change your whole
psychology about success in about the way you see yourself he said you have a
poor mentality and we've got to condition yourself to begin to see more
that God has more for your life so he said what I want you to do I go to the
bank I want you to get $300 out he said even if that's all you've got go get
three $100 bills and he said I want you to put it on the outside of your money
clip so that every time you get your money out you see well and you
conditioned yourself to build our confidence to succeed he said I want
you to program your mind for abundance and you begin to teach him stuff like he
said you know the Bible says come boldly to the throne and ask for what you need
don't come with your head down sheepishly cowardly begging God for a
few dollars he said the Bible actually says you have not because you ask not he
said why are you so intimidated to not ask the Lord for things well you know
Tony began to learn these success traits and became a great motivator well he
said one night he began to he was walking out of this conference in
downtown Boston and he said he saw this homeless man approaching him off in the
distance he had on a trench coat he had a paper bag in his hand and he's getting
closer to him well the homeless man walked right up to Tony Robbins and he
just asked him he said mister can you loan me a quarter well all of a sudden
Tony just had this idea he said I want to practice this on this homeless man so
we did he took out those three $100 bills from his wallet but he also took
out a coin from his pocket and he held them up in front of that homeless man
and he just said listen life will pay you any price you ask of it the Bible
says ask and you shall receive you have not because you ask not
well all of a sudden he said that homeless man looked at Tony he looked at
those hundreds he looked at the quarter then he did it again he looked at Tony
she looked at the hundreds he looked at the quarter he said he did this about
four different times then all of a sudden he said you're weird
but that's not all he did he said he grabbed the quarter and he ran off now I
don't know about you but when I heard that story that broke my heart that that
homeless man he asked for what he thought he was worth he didn't think he
was worth three hundred dollars he thought he was only worth a coin well
you know you hear a story like that and you think that is so sad but what are
you asking God for are you asking God to put gas in your car are you asking God
to pay off the car and you have her Joyce Meyer say this she said I'd rather
ask God for everything and get 50% then asked for nothing and get a hundred
well my point is we live in a world where there is an epidemic of low
self-esteem and the thing is it affects almost every aspect of our lives it
affects your relationship your health even it affects your appearance the way
you carry yourself it affects your children you know insecurities can come
off on them it affects the career you choose it even affects your relationship
with God what you think you'll really even give you well first of all let me
just define what a self-image is your self-image is simply a mental portrait
that you carry of yourself it's the idea you have of your abilities
your appearance your personality it's like this mental image or mental
portrait that you have of you it's the way you see yourself and the thing is it
doesn't matter if other people see you completely different it's how you see
yourself that affects everything in fact I was reading something about the
effects of a poor self-image on your life listen to this these are just some
of them negative emotions and feelings you know poor self-image affects your
mood you might battle with constantly feeling sad ashamed anxious depressed or
even angry at times and you don't even know why and people may even comment
you're so moody and you can't even explain it those are just symptoms of a
poor self-image or being unmotivated now maybe even watching a show like this on
live your dreams you're like give me a break and maybe you find it hard to get
excited about pursuing any new goals or dreams for your life and it could be
because you automatically assume you'll fail so what's the point it even affects
relationships you have relationship troubles well for one thing there's
nothing more unattractive than insecurity in fact I read where the most
attractive trait that men and women find in each other its confidence see if you
don't like yourself it's hard for other people to enjoy liking you either so it
affects relationships it also affects comfort zones being
locked in comfort zones well we know that it's all fear-based
you know insecurity poor self-esteem those are all fear-based
it's you know the fear that you're not good enough you're not smart enough
you're not educated enough you're not skinny enough you're not pretty enough
oh they're all fear-based and because of that fear you'll stay
locked in a comfort zone when God's saying everything I have for you is one
step outside that comfort zone well another symptom of it is just not
looking after yourself you know when you already feel bad about yourself
physically it's easy to just let things go like eating healthy exercising
because why does it even matter well I read where eating disorders substance
abuse addictions staying in a beautiful relationships it's all linked to heavy
doses of a poor self-image and you know many people have what they call a
distorted self-image which I can identify with that I've shared on other
broadcasts how I had a very distorted self-image and it didn't matter what
other people said I saw myself a certain way I saw myself as ugly and fat and
worthless and insignificant and because I saw myself that way you behave in a
manner consistent with how you see yourself if you see yourself as
worthless you'll let people treat you as worthless now you see why it's so
important that you build yourself image because God has a plan for your life and
he needs you to pull your shoulders back hold your head up and get serious about
your destiny and I recently read a statistic that said 91 percent of women
are unhappy with their bodies ninety-one percent we're getting close to 100
percent of all women hate their bodies 58 percent of college-age girls feel
pressured to be a certain way 95% of people with eating disorders are between
the ages of 12 and 25 well most of this stems from experiences in our lives and
you know some people you would assume they have it all together because maybe
it appears that way on the outside but you never know what people have been
through and are hiding it in fact I want to read this letter to you from a
precious girl named Kris from Canada who wrote to me and her story you may not
identify with some of it or you know maybe just portions of it but listen to
this she said I was raised in a Christian home all my life although
some might find that hard to believe I was sexually abused but my parents never
knew I wasn't the same child she said I've often wondered who I was before the
abuse started I would flirt with my dad's friends and do anything for their
attention I was so confused I hated myself she said I became best friends
with the girl next door to us sadly she was being sexually abused by
her brother's best friend and because her and I were so close I was dragged
into it as well only for me it was her brother his best friend and her cousin
she said at first I fought them off but after a while I gave in then I even
looked for it I convinced myself that if at least I do some of what they want
they'll love me my parents had no idea I started growing cold inside she said I
started to dream can do drugs I started dressing sweetie when I could when we
moved again in the eleventh grade she said it went from bad - I'll never get
through this she said I began cutting myself the pain inside was so great I
was an embarrassment to my father she said he always labeled me as a
troublemaker and someone just looking for attention then she wrote this if
only he knew I first started thinking about killing myself when I was about 11
years old and still being abused we lived by a highway at the time and I
would sit outside my home and imagine jumping in front of a truck at 16 I was
told that my boyfriend would leave me if I didn't sleep with him so I did and
became pregnant she said I was happy though because I thought finally someone
will love me however my boyfriend bailed when I was seven months along after
hearing your message about self-image you opened my eyes to so many things I
have never stood up and told anyone my story your messages means so much to me
she said I've listened to them over and over and I haven't missed a day with God
since hearing you I'm truly allowing God to heal me from the inside out I feel so
much happier she said I want girls to know that having a baby won't make the
pain go away I want them to know that even when men are boys hurt you in
horrible way that hurting others won't take the pain away she said I want girls
and boys with eating disorders to know that God
can heal them I want cutters to know that they don't have to bleed to relieve
their pain there's other ways she said I want them to know that God loves them
and she said thank you Kerry for making me believe I am a princess in God's eyes
I will never be the same that blesses my heart but what I want you to know are
the words that the Lord so gently and lovingly told me that things will never
be right around you until their first write in you see God can't use you
publicly until you get victory privately and I believe you're watching this on
purpose there's a reason you tune in to this broadcast today because I believe
God's speaking to you or maybe for someone you know someone you love and
care about and you see them going down this path of self-destruction
and it's because they have this rooted deep-seated low self-esteem insecurity
poor self-image but God is the cure for the insecure he can heal you from the
inside out I'm so glad you're watching today because I'm going to share with
you a few tips to help you improve yourself
you were fearfully and wonderfully made you are God's masterpiece and the apple
of his eye and when you see yourself the way God sees you the limits on your life
are removed and your future comes alive as a thank you for your gift of $25 or
more Kerry would like to send you the build your self-image package to help

Perry comm I want to share with you a few tips to help you improve your
self-image on the inside and the outside and these are the very things with the
Lord dealt with me about so that I could do what I'm doing today
number one is change your mind change your mind now when I say that what I
mean is that your life will never change until your thinking changes nothing will
change in your life until you begin thinking differently you know proverbs
23:7 says as a man thinks in his heart so is he so of course that scripture can
be positively or negatively in other words if you see yourself as a loser
you'll act like a loser if you see yourself as insignificant you'll act
insignificant you'll let people treat you like you're insignificant if you see
yourself as trashy worthless crazy psycho messed up
maybe words that have been spoken over you then you'll act that way but see if
you see yourself as forgiven loved valuable confident chosen by God then
you're going to start acting like a person chosen by God well how do you
change the way you've thought for 10 20 30 years of your life perhaps well
romans 12:2 says this be transformed by the renewing of your
mind first of all you have to ask what do you renew your mind - well it's a
Word of God and here's the thing about renewing your
mind it's a two-step process it means you have to get rid of the old way of
thinking and replace it with a new way of thinking about yourself fact I've
heard Joyce Meyer talk about health you know if you open up your refrigerator
and you have this horrible smell in there she said you can't just you know
spray something close the door and expect it to go away
I've tried that it doesn't work okay no you have to open it up take out all the
junk all the disgusting stuff clean it up then you can spray something open and
then replace it with the new fresh cream stuff well it's the same with the word
of God what you desperately need more than anything is to hear the word
consistently so see if your mind is tormented with fearful insecure
debilitating thoughts then you're not hearing enough word if you lay down at
night and your mind is just racing with hopelessness and fear and insecurity and
painful memories then you need to get a plan to hear the Word of God more today
than you did yesterday in other words kick it up a notch and
here's the thing God's Word is final authority I love what TD jakes said he
said you can't take a person who feels ugly about themselves and make them feel
lovely he said they cannot retain the encouragement because they're leaking
from the inside lynnie said this only the Word of God
will get down on the inside of your soul and fix the plumbing so you can retain
what God has placed in you so only the Word of God can change a poor self-image
into the image of that so I want to challenge you when you get the resources
this week set a goal that you're going to make yourself listen to these
teachings over and over and over for 21 days straight because God is the cure
for the insecure and here's the thing what you repeatedly hear you will
eventually believe so number one is change your mind number two is speak
positively about yourself what I mean by that is do not
let one negative word or comment come out of your mouth about yourself ever
again and that's easy to say it's hard to do I understand
trust me I told you I only know how to speak from experience these are the
things the Lord dealt with me about but it means you stop saying things like I'm
so stupid I'm too short I look so fat gosh look how old I look I look awful
the thing is you believe yourself more than anyone so cut that stuff out of
your vocabulary your words create your image negatively or positively and I'm
not saying this is easy to do in fact there's times I've you know looked at
the broadcast I've seen it on my phone and I think oh my gosh look at me and
then I'm like don't say it you might think it but don't say it well how do
you change the way you speak number one is stop putting your own self down like
I said you may think it but don't say it number two is stop exaggerations stop
saying things like I'll never get that job I'm always the last one chosen I
always make that mistake stop those exaggerations about yourself
and number three is stop trying to be perfect accept the fact that you have
flaws it's okay that you're not perfect I'm not perfect we have weaknesses maybe
you get nervous you're shy or maybe you're outspoken and bold it's okay
and here's the other thing start agreeing with what God's Word says about
you you know your words are vital to transforming your self-image in fact the
Bible says in James the tongue is a small thing but what enormous damage it
can do well the opposite of that is when you start speaking positive things over
yourself you get positive results out of yourself you know that's why I've put
together this little claim with so that you get into this habit stick it on your
mirror so you get into this daily habit of making these declarations over your
life and these are the very declarations and life-changing scriptures that I
spoke over myself and still do and remember successful people do
consistently what others do occasionally so you know a
poor self-image it doesn't show up overnight well neither does renewing the
mind neither does a positive self-image that's why you need to make things like
this just a part of your routine or it's not even up for debate you just say a
brush my teeth I'll put mascara on and I make my declaration so like I said
you're worried to create your reality so I'm going to teach you how to train your
mouth to declare and start expecting a favour of God on your life so you know I
would have encouraged you to make a list of positive declarations and maybe get a
few scriptures but I've already done the homework for you I'll put my
declarations in my scriptures so just start doing it consistently and my next
point number three this is something you can change overnight
it stand up straight just stand up straight do you know that people
immediately connect good posture with confidence and just the fact that you
start practicing good posture just practice standing up straight when you
sit in your car you know someone told me adjust the rear view mirror with perfect
posture and just practice driving around with your good posture if you start to
swamp straighten up again but you're going to immediately feel and appear
more confident number four is what people in the eyes you know insecure
people they avoid eye contact with people they look away they look down and
those are just signs that scream insecurity here's the thing you are a
child of the Most High God the blood of Jesus flows through your veins you have
every right to look another person straight in the eyes and carry on a
conversation so I just want you to practice that practice making eye
contact with people and number five this is another one on a practical side it's
exercise do you know physical fitness has a huge effect on self-confident
obviously if you're out of shape you'll feel insecure you feel unattractive you
feel less energetic energetic you know but by working out you improve your
physical appearance you energize yourself and you accomplish something
positive in fact they discover that there is a direct link
between physical health and mental health emotional health when you just
start taking care of yourself physically it affects your emotions you know having
the discipline to workout it creates positive momentum that you can build on
the rest of the day and let me just tell you don't listen to Satan's lies telling
you that you can't do this because you've done it in the past and you quit
and you did it again and you quit yes you can in fact that's one of the
declarations is I am disciplined spirit soul and body I'm full of energy we'll
see when you start making those declarations over yourself the moment
those lies come to you stay in bed what's the point you're not going to
lose weight you've done this before you just say shut up I am energetic I'm in
the best shape of my life I'm disciplined spirit soul and body and you
know you may need to get a partner to help you stay accountable but here's
what I want to suggest is get a plan to do something for 20 minutes a day you
not tell people all the time don't look at the one hour you don't have let's
look at the 20 minutes you do have and just put some effort into some physical
fitness for 20 minutes you know it could be walking around your neighborhood it
could be if you have a treadmill you get on that treadmill for 20 minutes and
you've got to decide to you when are you the most energetic are you a morning
person you wake up ready to go or does your energy really kick in when
everybody goes to bed also and you're ready to conquer the world will honor
your energy cycles but decide when you can be the most consistent and here's a
funny little point the average American watches six hours of television every
day six hours every day well what if you were to just take 20 minutes I mean
still watch your 5 hours and 40 but take 20 minutes to do something to invest in
your physical health do you know 20 minutes times 30 days in
a month that is 10 hours of investing in your parent in your physical health we
can do that can't we I got a friend I met in Denver she said I took that
advice instead of putting it off and already assuming that I'm a
procrastinator and I'm lazy she said I started
changing my dialogue saying I'm disciplined spirit soul and body and
Kari said just take 20 minutes don't look at the one hour you don't have look
at the 20 minutes you did have she said I've lost 36 pounds in a simple those 20
minutes every day so I want to challenge you this week to get this special
package your self-image affects your destiny now I put this little bonus
teaching in here 10 tips to build your body image and your self-image I believe
you're going to get that boost you need to get free from all those damaging
emotions and effects of the past that had caused you to feel inferior and
secure ashamed low self-esteem I believe God's telling you today is time to kick
this thing get get rid of these insecurities because he has a plan for
your life and so you'll never fulfill God's plan for your life if you're
insecure have low self-esteem a poor self-image that's what the word began to
deal with me years ago because I couldn't do what I'm doing today if I
continued to see myself the way I used to see myself so I want you to get this
special package it comes with this claim that you stick on your mirror maybe you
need to get this for a child a teenager a friend a co-worker gift this package
have them stick it on the mirror and just make it a part of your routine
every day and let me remind you at the lowest point in my life when I was so
insecure I remember hearing the Lord say God will
change your circumstances but he'll change you first actually I heard
another minister say that God will change your circumstances but he'll
change you first you know you may be feeling like God's calling you to have
your own ministry to have a business to get married to move on with the next
thing but God's saying I can't use you publicly until you get victory privately
and that's what he began to teach me so if you don't want the next five years to
be like the last five embrace the change that needs to be made get this special
package invest in yourself and I'm declaring by fake you are a new creation
in Christ Jesus old things have passed away behold all things have become new
