1. External Approval is a Moving Target
- No matter how much you do, someone will disapprove.
- If you tie your confidence to applause, you’ll live exhausted.
Neville Goddard taught:
“Be faithful to your idea, and the world will rearrange itself.”
Action Step:
Write down 3 dreams you’ve delayed because you were waiting for someone to say “yes.”
2. Self-Approval is Spiritual Maturity
When you approve of yourself, you declare:
- “I am worthy.”
- “I am chosen.”
- “I am enough.”
Ephesians 1:6 KJV:
“He hath made us accepted in the beloved.”
You’re already accepted. No application necessary.
3. The Fear of Rejection Is a Form of Idolatry
When you fear people’s opinions more than God’s instruction, you elevate them above Him.
Galatians 1:10 KJV:
“…do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”
Practical Tip:
Before making a big decision, ask:
“Am I obeying God or trying to avoid criticism?”
4. Self-Approval Activates Your Faith
Until you approve of your own vision, you won’t take bold action.
- Approval is the foundation of consistency.
- Consistency produces fruit.
Affirmation:
“I am approved by God. My purpose is valid.”
5. How to Practice Self-Approval Daily
- Morning Declaration
- “Today, I give myself permission to be great.”
- Daily Action
- Do something small that validates your calling.
- Celebrate Progress
- Honor every step, no matter how imperfect.
- Refuse Comparison
- You are incomparable.
- Stay Rooted in Scripture
- Psalm 139:14 KJV: “…I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
6. Signs You’re No Longer Waiting for Permission
- You stop overexplaining.
- You feel peaceful in your decisions.
- You move faster.
- You inspire others to do the same.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need another person’s approval slip.
You don’t need another prophetic confirmation.
God already said yes.
Stop waiting. Start building.
