Positive Self Talk Fails

I attempted positive self talk, but my old self said no!

Of course it did.  It was still your self talk.  The book of Ephesians is an excellent guide to help you understand who you are IN Christ.  You were included IN Christ when He died on the cross.  Your only role is to believe; consider yourself to be IN Christ.  IN Christ you can do all things.  Once you've accepted this in your heart, His positive words will begin to replace your self talk.

What are some of the things God has to say about it?

• When you say "I can't,"  He says, "Don't worry, I can."
• When you say "I'm afraid,"  He says, "No weapons formed against you shall prosper."
• When you say "I'm not good enough," He says, "I made you good enough."

Where is Christ?  Eph 1:20-23 ...which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Where am I?   Eph 2:5-6 ...even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
