Romans 7:18-23 NLT

“And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.”

Self-actualization is about becoming the best version of yourself based on

embracing God’s will for your life, directed from the Word of God.

Self-esteem is how an individual views, values, and validates him or herself in the arenas of life, which affects the behavior factors, the belief factors, and the bonding factors.

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on possessions.

Luke 12:15 ASV

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life

consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on positions.

1 Corinthians 12:14-20 TPT

“In fact, the human body is not one single part but rather many parts mingled into one. So if the foot were to say, “Since I’m not a hand, I’m not a part of the body,” it’s forgetting that it is still a vital part of the body. And if the ear were to say, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not really a part of the body,” it’s forgetting that it is still an important part of the body. Think of it this way. If the whole body were just an eyeball, how could it hear sounds? And if the whole body were just an ear, how could it smell different fragrances? But God has carefully designed each member and placed it in the body to function as he desires. A diversity is required, for if the body consisted of one single part, there wouldn’t be a body at all! So now we see that there are many differing parts and functions, but one body.”

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on proficiency.

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on presentation.

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on the price paid for things.

Conditioned to measure self-worth based on partnerships.

Your Self-Esteem has to be measured by Scripture.

1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV

“But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain;

but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”

Me v. Me" - Round 2: Self-Actualization Part 4

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

“And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do,

I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. I have discovered this principle of life—that

when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.”

Self-actualization is about becoming the best version of yourself based on embracing God’s Will for your life, directed from the Word of God.

Overcoming the Perversion of Self-Transformation

- You can’t try to bring change into your life independent of God and His

Word.

Matthew 7:24-27 TPT

““Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. When the rains fell, and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation. “But everyone who hears my teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. When it rained and rained, and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.””

Motivation for Self-Transformation is the attempt to feel good about yourself, and it’s a matter of Self-Worth and Self-Esteem.

Self-Esteem is how an individual views, values, and validates him or herself in the arenas of life, which affects the behavior factors, the belief factors, and the bonding factors.

Self-Esteem and Self-Worth are vitally important to be built on the Word so you will embrace that you are worthy of all that God has for you and wants you to walk in.

Matthew 22:37-40 KJV

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Moses had self-esteem issues and saw himself as inadequate and suggested that God send someone else....Ex 4

Gideon had self-esteem issues and said he was not the guy for the job because his family background and issues disqualified him, making him the least of all people...Judges 6

Self-Esteem has been Marred by Society

- Before you come to Christ, you’re persuaded by the flawed Metric and

erroneous ways that you have been conditioned to so you feel good about

yourself.

Romans 12:1-2 KJV

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies

a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be

not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God is.”

ME Vs. ME...Round Two – Self-Actualization Part 3

Bishop John Edmondson

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

“And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do,

I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.”

Self-Actualization is about becoming the best version of yourself based on embracing God’swill for your life, directed from the Word of God.

The Power of Embraced Truth to Bring Success:

John 8:32 AMPC

"And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

You must Embrace the Truth that God knows you personally."

Jeremiah 1:5 KJV

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

Luke 12:7 KJV

“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

Psalm 56:8 NLT

“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”

You must Embrace the Truth that He knows your Purpose.

Psalm 100:3 KJV

“Know ye that the LORD he is God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”

You must Embrace the Truth that He knows your Potential

Ephesians 3:20-21 AMPC

“Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]

You must Embrace the Truth that He knows your Plan

Jeremiah 29:11-13 MSG

11) I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12)When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen.

13) When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.”

When you forsake your agenda and your priorities, then the Sovereign Transformation truly begins to take place in your life because you did it God’s way.

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

Self-Sabotage is the self-destructive decision-making process where a person is being influenced by their flesh to make choices that are against their own best interest and well-being.

Self-Actualization is about how you can become the best version of yourself.

The devil will exploit your passion for wanting better by challenging God’s right to chart the course for your life and giving you seemingly good alternatives to do things your way or others’ ways instead of God’s plan for your life, which leads to the best version of yourself.

Proverbs 14:11-12 TPT

The Power of Sovereign Truths:

John 17:15-17 KJV

Isaiah 40:8 NLT

Proverbs 4:20-22 NLT

Matthew 4:4 KJV

Colossians 2:8 AMPC

The best version of you is what God has planned for your life, and anything else is a decoy to keep you from God’s best.

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

Self-sabotage is the self-destructive decision-making process where a person is being influenced by their flesh to

make choices that are against their own best interest and well-being.

Recovering from Self-Sabotage:

Luke 15:11-13, 15-24 TPT

Self-Sabotage Recovery Lessons from The Prodigal Son:

He came to himself.

He was honest with himself about his fallen state and realized the error of his poor, rebellious choice; he made the choice to leave too soon.

He said to himself.

He had a conversation with himself and expressed his conviction to repent and change.

He settled himself.

He was realistic and understood the possible discomfort of the recovery process and he was willing to

persevere through it because he understood it was necessary.

He presented himself.

He did more than just think about recovering; he followed through concerning his repentance with a face-

to-face meeting with his father.

He humbled himself.

He positioned himself under protective authority, which gave him the right to set the steps of restoration and recovery.

He trusted the process.

He trusted the love of his father.

He experienced the comeback power of restoration.

The father accepted him and restored him back to the family.

If you run a righteous course long-term, God will erase the memory of your bad choices and misbehavior

(disobedience) from the minds of those you have offended and those you know, and He will rewrite your

resume.

Sermon Notes 

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

Self-sabotage is the self-destructive decision-making process where a person is being influenced by their flesh to

make choices that are against their own best interest and well-being.

The Flesh is a way of thinking that goes against the Word of God and waits for opportunities to influence your

perception and your decision-making and persuade you against the will of God.

Luke 15:11-13, 15-24 TPT

1 John 1:8-10 TPT

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

Self-sabotage is the self-destructive decision-making process where a person is being influenced by their flesh to make choices that are against their own best interest and well-being.

Four decisions that are critical in the defining moment:

Salvation Choice - choosing to make Jesus the Lord of your life.

Serving Choice - choosing whether or not you’re going to be involved in the partnership relationship

God wants to have with you in the earth through being a blessing to others.

Success Choices - after getting saved, still choosing not to live a successful, abundant life that Jesus died to give you.

Romans 8:32 KJV

3 John 1:2 KJV

Kingdom Success choice is where you embrace kingdom principles that are found in the Word

that causes God to get involved and empowers you to succeed.

Sin Choice - Choosing sin through the weakness of your flesh in a moment of temptation and

derailing the plan of God, resulting in consequences that only His grace and mercy can help you

through.

James 1:12-16 TPT

Romans 7:18-23 NLT

Self-Sabotage is the self-destructive decision-making process where a person is being influenced by their flesh to make choices that are against their own best interest and well-being.

Romans 12:2 TPT

Respecting the Defining Moment of Sabotaging Choices.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Defining Moments are critical moments of choice when your righteous Kingdom commitment is being tested, and your deliberate decision reflects your true character, convictions, commitment, and courage, which potentially positions you for promotion.

Career choices: Livelihood that you’re going to have. Life purposes.

Covenant Choices: Lordship mandates commitment and how you will express that Lordship in your life.

Congenial Choices: Family commitments that you’re going to make.

Cause Choices: For the good or in defense of others outside of yourself.

Because defining moments have destiny altercations and implications, we can’t take defining moments lightly because every choice has consequences and/or benefits.

Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
