Firewall Your Family

By Robi Sonderegger

Self esteem – is it defined by…
How you feel?
Better after eating something really delicious and nice?
Better after getting a makeover or a new hairdo?
Inflated after being praised and edified?
To fit in into a group? Gang? What other people think about me?

There is a public and private conciousness. Must have a balance of both.

Though critized, u stand up for what u believe. You need to know who you are. You need to know why you are. That is strong self esteem.

IDENTITY
To know who you are, first know whose you are.
Think before every action, what I do next will that bring honor or shame to my family.
You are God’s child.
What you do brings honor or shame to God and God’s kingdom.
Rules are set by God is meant for the better and the good of you and those in the family.

PURPOSE!
Building a talent. Gives u character
Interest & passion, what is the difference?
“interest” people are academically stimulated.
“passion” people are emotionally involved!
“purpose” people takes their talent, build upon passion, go out and be a great contribution to the world!

The PURPOSE of life is to give, contribute and blessing others!
Vision is so important, that “my people perish for the lack of knowledge”.
Be faithful, FAITHFUL, with what you’ve got, to serve God with your talent.

WORTH
Jesus died on the cross saying I love you this much with his arms outstretched.
You are worth dying for.

Everyday temptation, there is always a way out.
In every temptation, there is a choice. Responsibility is the ability to response.
Jesus met the father first, went to his level of pain and empathy with him before healing his boy of seizure.

What then could you do?
1. Simply live right! For righteousness sake.
2. Take your gifts and skills, bless someone for no apparent reason.
3. Take you gift combine with your talent engage with your passion and go ahead and do something for somebody that you DON’T like.

Value is worth is esteem is confidence is power

Love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you.

The principles taught are timeless universal principles.

Anxious = swap, remove, seperate.
Anxiousness seperates us from God’s peace.

(A)ttention – pays attention to threats. Would avoid at all costs (such as public speaking)
(P)hysiology – your body listens to what your mind is thinking. Confident? Happy hormones! Worried? Stressed hormones!

Philippines 4:8!!!

Worrying is like scratching a rash. It feels so good to feel so bad but it’s momentary and it gets worse.

Worry anxiousness sadness and these sad feelings are like poison in your body. You need to get rid of the poison!

When u laugh, body releases endorphins. Exercise releases endorphins.
Get good sleep and good exercise.

Whatever you think leads to what you feel.
The feelings will impact your body which will lead to behaviour.
Your behaviour will set you thinking again.

Bad thinking is stinking thinking

The first step is to have good thinking. But if u are already in the situation of panic, start with correcting your body.

The sun activates the arbituary gland through the the optic nerve in the eyes which secretes seretonin.

Back to phillipines 4:4
Rejoice. Thanksgiving.

James 5:6
Pray for one another. Take the spot light off yourself.
Produces DHEA which brings longevity health and happiness.

Meditate on what is right true and pure, u change your body’s chemicals for better life health and emotions.

Practical living is sleeping well, eating well, thinking well.

Internet Proofing Your Family
Internet pronography

“shock” happens only once. So does “surprise”.

The media is protraying that men can have their time on their lives, and that women are there purely got their pleasure.

Pornography is like digging a hole that gets deeper and deeper. Like a drug, one craves more and more, not neccessary content, but also severity and perversity.

Resist the enemy and he will flee from me. That is true for all sin outside of the body.
But YOU flee when you are faced with sexual immorality.

Sexual arousal produces oxitosin. This chemical also bonds the two together. Be it images or people.
When you sin sexually, you sin against your body for you change the chemicals of your body.

Dopermin sustains attention

Pleasure is incredibly addicting. And how odd we can sacrifice our health food sleep relationship, for pleasure!
