3 Steps to Defeat Negative Self-Talk

Published: Wed, 12/20/17

Can negative self-talk destroy your health? I believe it can.

My own battle with it started when I was 12. I told myself that I was fat, even though I wasn’t.

That negative inner dialogue created a new reality for me: I became obese and stayed that way for over 20 years.

But praise God, He gave me the victory over obesity – and delivered me from negative self-talk.

He can do the same for you!

Proverbs 17:22 says:

A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.”

If you are constantly reporting bad news to yourself like insulting yourself or thinking lies like “I’ll never change,” then you are depressing your spirit.

You are cooperating with the devil, who wants to steal, kill, and destroy.

A depressed spirit shows that he is succeeding!

Cultivating habits that destroy your peace and health is another clue that you are believing the enemy’s lies.  

The good news is that God’s word can deliver you from negative self-talk and the enemy’s schemes.


Be blessed with health, healing and wholeness,
