We explore the toxic cycle of self-hatred and how to break free from the critical inner voice that keeps us feeling worthless and undeserving. This message offers hope for anyone struggling with negative self-talk by revealing how God's vision for our lives is infinitely greater than our limited self-perception.
• Identifying signs of self-hatred: explicit self-criticism, chronic insecurity, neglect of self-care, and inability to accept happiness
• Self-hatred robs us of ambition for a better tomorrow and limits our ability to pursue our purpose
• God's vision for our lives is much larger than the ceilings we create based on past failures or trauma
• Nobody has it all together—even those who appear perfectly confident often battle severe self-loathing
• The enemy uses self-criticism as a weapon to make our lives miserable and keep us from God's purposes
• A powerful affirmation to combat self-hatred: "Jesus has something better for me"
When you feel those voices of self-hatred rising up, declare "Jesus has something better for me." This simple statement aligns with Scripture and gives you the strength to spend less time in the depths of self-loathing.

00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:00.802
I hate myself.
00:00:00.802 --> 00:00:06.485
I don't have anything going for me, I'm not attractive, I'm not smart, I'm not rich.
00:00:06.485 --> 00:00:08.105
I'm a bad person.
00:00:08.105 --> 00:00:10.307
Of course, nobody cares about me.
00:00:10.307 --> 00:00:18.307
I don't have a good job, nobody's calling me, nobody's texting me, I'm not getting invited to the parties.
00:00:18.307 --> 00:00:19.170
Why would I be?
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:21.644
I'm a loser, I'm good for nothing.
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.248
Have you ever said these kinds of things to yourself?
00:00:24.248 --> 00:00:32.656
Because I'm good for nothing?
00:00:32.656 --> 00:00:33.468
Have you ever said these kinds of things to yourself?
00:00:33.468 --> 00:00:33.503
Because I have, I have.
00:00:33.503 --> 00:00:33.518
I have Count me in.
00:00:33.518 --> 00:00:34.017
Yes, I have.
00:00:34.017 --> 00:00:34.515
It really hurts.
00:00:34.515 --> 00:00:35.546
You don't even have to say the stuff out loud.
00:00:35.546 --> 00:00:38.027
Just when you hear those thoughts in your head, you just want to cry.
00:00:38.027 --> 00:00:39.293
You just want to hide.
00:00:39.473 --> 00:00:47.969
The question for you is are you ready to stop hating on yourself and hear about where that comes from and why God has something better for you?
00:00:47.969 --> 00:01:07.546
By the end of this video, you're going to be feeling stronger, you're going to be holding your head up just a little bit higher, and then I'm going to leave you with a powerful affirmation that's going to make every day just that much better, because you don't have to live in that type of self-hatred, that self-condemnation.
00:01:07.546 --> 00:01:09.287
We're going to dismantle that.
00:01:09.287 --> 00:01:11.908
We're going to pull all that down.
00:01:11.908 --> 00:01:16.772
Today we're going to plant a seed of confidence and dignity.
00:01:16.772 --> 00:01:22.429
That's the type of victory I'm talking about, jimmy James Johnson guilt-free faith.
00:01:22.429 --> 00:01:25.849
If you're looking for guilt, you're in the wrong place.
00:01:25.849 --> 00:01:27.805
We don't get down like that.
00:01:27.805 --> 00:01:35.265
Here we're going to get you feeling good and walking in victory today let's get into it.
00:01:35.265 --> 00:01:40.822
Look, this cycle may feel impossible because you've been living like this for so long.
00:01:41.183 --> 00:01:49.408
Some of us have been talking to ourselves, hearing that voice, that self-hatred, that self-criticism in our heads since we were little kids.
00:01:49.408 --> 00:01:52.581
We don't even know what it's like to live outside of that.
00:01:52.581 --> 00:01:57.150
But I promise you we can break this cycle together.
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.554
So stick with me.
00:01:58.554 --> 00:02:08.045
We're going to identify some signs of self-hatred, we're going to talk about where they come from and then I'm going to give you some tools to start breaking them down.
00:02:08.045 --> 00:02:10.150
So what is self-hatred?
00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:12.760
How do we know if we hate ourselves?
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:22.727
Of course there are literally the words I hate myself, I suck at this, I'm worthless, I have no value, I'm the bottom of the barrel.
00:02:22.727 --> 00:02:24.931
So that's the self-criticism part.
00:02:24.931 --> 00:02:30.971
Then there's just the insecurity part that naturally follows, which is life's challenges come up.
00:02:30.971 --> 00:02:32.801
We don't feel like we can handle them.
00:02:32.801 --> 00:02:42.826
We don't have a kind word of confidence and inspiration for ourselves to stand up to life's challenges, to something coming down the road.
00:02:42.826 --> 00:02:57.849
It could be a fantastic opportunity, but with that voice that's been in our head, we're so insecure we just don't even have the confidence to even think that we're going to be able to turn this loss into a win.
00:02:58.450 --> 00:03:01.462
We can also see this in just neglecting self-care.
00:03:01.462 --> 00:03:06.700
Some of us that's like a physical thing where we're just not taking care of ourselves.
00:03:06.700 --> 00:03:08.745
We're just eating crappy food.
00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:13.694
We're not exercising, not showering, we're not shaving.
00:03:13.694 --> 00:03:17.049
We don't really care what we look like going out.
00:03:17.049 --> 00:03:18.532
Have you ever been that?
00:03:18.532 --> 00:03:19.455
I have.
00:03:20.176 --> 00:03:23.606
Sometimes self-care is not something you're wearing on yourself.
00:03:23.606 --> 00:03:25.572
Sometimes it's something just internally.
00:03:25.572 --> 00:03:34.287
Some of us are living with so much stress, so much guilt, so much criticism on the inside we won't give ourselves a break.
00:03:34.287 --> 00:03:39.431
So on the inside we're inflamed and in pain.
00:03:39.431 --> 00:03:41.888
We look fine on the outside.
00:03:41.888 --> 00:03:48.360
How many times do we see a musician or a Hollywood star, somebody that you know?
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:56.527
On the outside they have everything, they look good, their bank account's right, their career's blowing up, and then they turn up dead.
00:03:56.527 --> 00:03:58.010
That's self-care.
00:03:58.010 --> 00:04:02.866
Maybe they were doing it on the outside, maybe they were on the treadmill twice a day.
00:04:02.866 --> 00:04:10.793
But, man, they've neglected themselves, they've neglected their spirit and they just crumble from the inside Self-hatred.
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.287
Sometimes this manifests as a refusal to be happy.
00:04:14.287 --> 00:04:41.595
Sometimes we hate ourselves so much, we're so down on ourselves, we're so unkind to ourselves that even when something good does happen, we can't enjoy it, because to us either it's just a really temporary thing, we're about to fall back into some other disaster, or we don't even want to get our hopes up because on the inside I don't deserve this, or good things never happen to me, or we can't take just a legitimate compliment.
00:04:41.595 --> 00:04:43.100
Hey, you look nice today.
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:46.230
Hey, you did a good job on that project.
00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:55.065
Hey, I noticed that you're getting out for some exercise, you're becoming a better listener, you're working on being a better friend.
00:04:55.507 --> 00:05:04.678
But, man, when you have that voice, when you have the accuser in your head, you just can't accept those things, because the voice in here is louder than the voice out there.
00:05:04.678 --> 00:05:10.653
It's louder than the voice of your pastor, of your friend, of your spouse.
00:05:10.653 --> 00:05:15.512
Nobody can talk louder than the voice inside your head.
00:05:15.512 --> 00:05:24.833
One of the things that really sucks about this whole thing is that those voices, those accusations, those critiques in your head can rob you of your ambition.
00:05:24.833 --> 00:05:26.860
And what do I mean by ambition?
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:39.755
I'm not just talking about money or getting rich, or driving a fly car or living in a big house or having a certain person on your arm or a certain degree on your wall.
00:05:39.755 --> 00:05:41.908
I'm not talking about just those things.
00:05:41.908 --> 00:05:43.786
There's nothing wrong with those things.
00:05:43.786 --> 00:05:55.041
I'm talking about the ambition for a better tomorrow, the ambition for a better tomorrow.
00:05:55.041 --> 00:06:10.793
I'm talking about the ambition for survival, about to soak up life, to find your purpose, to ride that out, to walk that out, to be engaged with people in relationships that are rewarding, that are bi-directional, where both of you are blessed from having met one another.
00:06:10.793 --> 00:06:25.295
I'm talking about your spiritual ambition, how close you can get to God, how close that you can feel the Holy Spirit growing up and welling up in you, empowering you to do amazing things.
00:06:25.295 --> 00:06:32.713
It may be literally working miracles, it may be touching lives in all types of ways, big or small.
00:06:32.713 --> 00:06:46.095
Only God knows what all he has in store for you, but one thing's for sure his vision for us, his vision for you, is much larger than your vision for yourself.
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.249
You have a ceiling for yourself right now.
00:06:49.249 --> 00:06:59.824
Maybe it's because of things that happened to you, maybe because you were abused, maybe because you were fired, maybe it was because you got sick.
00:06:59.824 --> 00:07:02.408
But you have a ceiling right now in your mind.
00:07:02.408 --> 00:07:04.333
This is as far as I go.
00:07:04.333 --> 00:07:04.940
I can't.
00:07:04.940 --> 00:07:07.367
I've tried to get beyond this.
00:07:07.367 --> 00:07:08.528
I keep getting knocked down.
00:07:08.528 --> 00:07:10.293
This is, I guess, this is it.
00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:15.031
But God's like hey, man, you need to take those limits off.
00:07:15.031 --> 00:07:39.680
God's like you don't think, with all that I've done, all that I've created, all that I've planned, all that, I know that I can't exceed this little limit in your mind, that I can't take you beyond that, that I can't heal you, that I can't deliver you, that I can't embrace you, that I can't put you in a position of leadership.
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.089
I can't put you in that job, that position, that relationship.
00:07:46.089 --> 00:07:49.535
God's telling you, man, take that limit off.
00:07:49.535 --> 00:07:53.761
You have no idea what God has planned for you.
00:07:53.761 --> 00:08:05.024
God's plans are higher than what we understand, but we know that he's planned for us a good future to bless us, to nurture us.
00:08:05.024 --> 00:08:07.689
The Word says this explicitly.
00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:19.141
Some people take that as oh well, that just happens in heaven, that just happens in the afterlife.
00:08:19.141 --> 00:08:19.562
I don't know, maybe.
00:08:19.562 --> 00:08:22.086
But you know, when I hear God say on earth as it is in heaven, I'm talking about right now.
00:08:22.086 --> 00:08:27.925
I'm talking about seeing some of those miracles right now.
00:08:27.925 --> 00:08:39.068
I'm talking about God revving up the horsepower in your life, in your spirit, right now, today, this week, this month, this year.
00:08:39.068 --> 00:08:45.731
I believe that you're going to look back on the first time you saw this video and be like man.
00:08:45.792 --> 00:08:48.620
I remember when I was stuck back in that place.
00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:50.717
I thought God had forgotten about me.
00:08:50.717 --> 00:08:59.517
I didn't think God had anything for me and the voice in my head told me that I wasn't worth it, I wasn't never going to amount to nothing.
00:08:59.517 --> 00:09:02.118
Here's the secret you got to keep in mind.
00:09:02.118 --> 00:09:07.201
No one and I mean no one has it all together.
00:09:07.201 --> 00:09:15.844
No one is walking around with just a happy, joyous, fantastic voice in their head.
00:09:15.844 --> 00:09:18.734
Nobody gets through life that way.
00:09:18.734 --> 00:09:24.692
Some of the people you think love themselves so much can't even look in the mirror without a bottle.
00:09:24.692 --> 00:09:28.975
There's people who can't look in the mirror without throwing up in the toilet.
00:09:28.975 --> 00:09:37.501
We can have everything we want, or people can think we have everything that we want and on the inside we hate ourselves.
00:09:37.501 --> 00:09:39.182
It's an epidemic.
00:09:39.182 --> 00:09:49.475
And it's an epidemic because that's what the devil, that's what the accuser, that's one of the avenues that he uses to make our lives miserable.
00:09:49.956 --> 00:09:54.529
You can hear that demonic soundtrack playing anytime you goof up.
00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:58.979
Anytime somebody doesn't appreciate what you did for them.
00:09:58.979 --> 00:10:03.903
Anytime somebody doesn't have a compliment or doesn't notice anything good about you.
00:10:03.903 --> 00:10:06.451
Anytime somebody insults you.
00:10:06.451 --> 00:10:08.397
Anytime you drop the ball.
00:10:08.397 --> 00:10:10.621
There he is, there's that soundtrack.
00:10:10.621 --> 00:10:11.383
It's playing.
00:10:11.383 --> 00:10:14.720
See, jimmy, I told you you ain't worth nothing, man.
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:22.982
You're useless, doesn't matter if you're here or not, and it just plays on and on until we stand against that in the name of Jesus.
00:10:22.982 --> 00:10:24.796
And that's what we're going to do here.
00:10:24.796 --> 00:10:32.693
Here, let me leave you with an affirmation that's going to make you stronger and more confident and feel better about yourself.
00:10:33.534 --> 00:10:42.698
When you start hating on yourself, when you start talking down on yourself, I want you to say Jesus has something better for me, just that simple.
00:10:42.698 --> 00:10:45.082
Jesus has something better for me.
00:10:45.082 --> 00:10:47.511
Go ahead, just say it with me.
00:10:47.511 --> 00:10:50.977
Jesus has something better for me than this.
00:10:50.977 --> 00:11:07.631
Oh, okay, I'm a loser, I'm too fat, I'm too skinny, I'm a nerd or I'm dumb or I'm not cool, I'm not popular, I'm not cool, I'm not popular.
00:11:07.631 --> 00:11:09.216
I can't make no friends, I can't get no girls, no matter what it is.
00:11:09.236 --> 00:11:13.951
Jesus has something better for me, because Jesus does have something better for you.
00:11:13.951 --> 00:11:34.595
And what I believe is when you're declaring that you're not only saying something that's in line with Scripture, but you're giving yourself that fortification, you're giving yourself that strength, you're giving yourself that momentum to spend less time in the depths instead of wallowing down here.
00:11:34.595 --> 00:11:41.719
Believe me, when you start saying Jesus has something better for me, it's going to start picking you up.
00:11:41.719 --> 00:11:44.164
You are going to feel a burst of energy.
00:11:44.164 --> 00:11:59.072
It's going to be harder and harder and harder and harder for the enemy to put you down, because the enemy doesn't want you to know that Jesus has something better for you.
00:11:59.072 --> 00:12:02.333
Hang in there, I'm in your corner.
00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:00.802
00:00:00.802 --> 00:00:06.485
00:00:06.485 --> 00:00:08.105
00:00:08.105 --> 00:00:10.307
00:00:10.307 --> 00:00:18.307
00:00:18.307 --> 00:00:19.170
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:21.644
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.248
00:00:24.248 --> 00:00:32.656
00:00:32.656 --> 00:00:33.468
00:00:33.468 --> 00:00:33.503
00:00:33.503 --> 00:00:33.518
00:00:33.518 --> 00:00:34.017
00:00:34.017 --> 00:00:34.515
00:00:34.515 --> 00:00:35.546
00:00:35.546 --> 00:00:38.027
00:00:38.027 --> 00:00:39.293
00:00:39.473 --> 00:00:47.969
00:00:47.969 --> 00:01:07.546
00:01:07.546 --> 00:01:09.287
00:01:09.287 --> 00:01:11.908
00:01:11.908 --> 00:01:16.772
00:01:16.772 --> 00:01:22.429
00:01:22.429 --> 00:01:25.849
00:01:25.849 --> 00:01:27.805
00:01:27.805 --> 00:01:35.265
00:01:35.265 --> 00:01:40.822
00:01:41.183 --> 00:01:49.408
00:01:49.408 --> 00:01:52.581
00:01:52.581 --> 00:01:57.150
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.554
00:01:58.554 --> 00:02:08.045
