CONQUERING EMOTIONAL BATTLES: Feeling Unworthy! Part 1

Welcome to Conquering Emotional Battles!
Today, we’ll focus on overcoming feelings of unworthiness through faith.

Text: Romans 8:1
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Our past does not define us; His grace does.

Embracing this truth can transform our view of ourselves from inadequacy to grace. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs that fuel our feelings of unworthiness and how they affect our relationships with God and others. We’ll also discuss practical steps to develop self-awareness and self-compassion.

If you've struggled with feelings of inadequacy, comparison, or past mistakes, this episode is here to offer encouragement and hope. Let’s understand our true worth in Christ and embrace the freedom that comes from His love.
Let’s get started!

DEVELOPING SELF-AWARENESS

First of all, let us understand that Satan has no power over the children of God. Some of you are asking, "What do you mean?"

The truth is, when you are in Christ, you are covered, protected, and strengthened by the power of God over you, according to Romans 8:38-39. For that reason, you are in safe hands regardless of how many attacks you can experience in your life.

When we talk about “CONQUERING EMOTIONAL BATTLES,” “Feeling Unworthy” is one of the things on the top of the list. To climb the “UNFORGETTABLE LADDERS BEFORE US, “Self-awareness” is mandatory. As mentioned earlier, Satan targets your emotional weaknesses to win you in any battle or test. That is the reason why this Scripture is our inspiration for an unfailing victory that God promised you.

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 (New International Version)

With that in mind, let me ask you these questions so that you can align them with your "Spiritual self-awareness."

1. What thoughts or beliefs do you think might be behind your feelings of unworthiness?
2. How do these feelings shape your relationships with God and the people in your life? I know that emotions can have a big impact, and reflecting on how they affect those connections is important.
3. Again, are there any particular experiences or messages from your past that might be controlling your feelings?  
4. How does Scripture speak about your worth and identity in Christ? What verses resonate with you?
5. In what ways do you see God's grace and love in your life despite your feelings of unworthiness?  
6. How do you respond to compliments or affirmations from others? What do those responses reveal about your self-perception?  
7. Are there areas in your life where you might be applying unrealistic standards to yourself? 
8. How does the idea of being created in the image of God shape your understanding of your worth?  
9. What role does prayer play in addressing your feelings of unworthiness?   

10. How can you cultivate a more compassionate and forgiving perspective towards yourself?  

These questions serve as a starting point for exploration and growth in self-awareness. However, every emotional battle has a "Trigger and Effect."
Since “Emotional Battles” greatly impact a Christian’s life, you must be aware of your emotional ups and downs. Again, you must be mindful of how these emotions shape your relationships and feelings about people around you. In addition, your past experiences or messages that control your feelings must be known. Furthermore, you must be aware of how they impact your relationship with God.

To continue "Climbing Your Unforgettable Ladders" in Christ, you must be aware of:
# How the scriptures speak about your “WORTH IN CHRIST.”
# How scriptures talk about your “IDENTITY IN CHRIST.”
# When going through battles, “WHICH VERSES RESONATES WITH YOU.”

As mentioned before, Satan gains power over you through your "Emotional Weaknesses." Let us explore some of the "Emotional weaknesses" that are the weakness of most Christians.

When you grow in Christ, you will notice that there are two laws that we must all be aware of: the “Law of Life” And the “Law of Sin and Death.” They are also known as the influencing “Divine and Evil” powers. Let us go through the “Triggers and Effects” that impact Christians from the “Law of Sin and Death.”

In Part 2, we will explore how the devil exploits people's ignorance of God's power within them, the spiritual tools that ensure transformation, and how to utilise them to your benefit.
