Philippians 4:13
If you have your Bible I invite you to turn to Philippians 4. We are in a series of messages on "Improving Your Self-Confidence".

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most amazing statements of self-esteem and self-confidence that you could read anywhere in the Bible or outside the Bible. And what makes it amazing is it's made by a man under the most adverse of circumstances. It is made by the apostle Paul when he was in prison. And when almost all of his friends have forsaken him and when he is facing a sure death after being used of God and after going through many glorious experiences.

Well, in 1982 the Gallup Organization took a survey to study the impact of self-esteem and confidence on peoples' lives. In that study they discovered that people who had a high level of self-confidence had the following characteristics: they were more successful, more satisfied with their lives, more willing to help others i ...
