if you struggle with keeping promises to00:00:02
yourself then this video is for00:00:04
[Music]00:00:08
you so over the past few weeks we've00:00:10
been talking about developing everything00:00:12
from self-control to overcoming our00:00:15
excuses and becoming more disciplined00:00:18
and one of the areas that I feel like is00:00:19
really necessary in order to see the00:00:22
growth that you want to see in yourself00:00:24
is the ability to keep promises that you00:00:27
make to yourself we keep promises to00:00:30
everyone else we keep promises to our00:00:33
family to our friends to our bosses we00:00:36
keep promises to our clients but when it00:00:39
comes to keeping promises to ourselves00:00:41
that seems to be an area where a lot of00:00:43
people struggle I know for me I would00:00:46
always say I would do things and I was00:00:48
going to do things by this certain time00:00:50
and I would have very meaningful00:00:52
intentions when I said it but then00:00:55
sometimes time would go by or I didn't00:00:58
feel the urgency that I once felt before00:01:00
and I would find that the things that I00:01:02
would say I would get done would kind of00:01:04
fall on the back burner and this00:01:07
honestly became a real issue for me00:01:09
especially when it came to00:01:10
procrastination I would spend so much00:01:13
time working on things for everyone else00:01:15
that by the time I got home to do my own00:01:18
things after my 9 to-5 I would be00:01:20
depleted and I wouldn't even have enough00:01:22
energy to show up for myself and so when00:01:25
I began to develop self-control and00:01:27
discipline one of the areas that I00:01:29
really had to appli that was in keeping00:01:31
the promises I make to myself especially00:01:33
when it comes to things like completing00:01:36
personal passion projects or completing00:01:38
God projects even most recently when it00:01:41
comes to keeping the promises I make to00:01:43
myself in health and fitness I've been00:01:45
taking my health Journey very seriously00:01:47
and for a long time I would tell myself00:01:49
I wanted to be consistent in the gym and00:01:51
I just wouldn't do it I would make so00:01:53
many excuses like I'm tired I just can't00:01:56
do it and then I had to really say to00:01:57
myself like when are you going to keep00:01:59
keep your word right how can you say you00:02:02
want to be a woman of Integrity but you00:02:04
can't even keep your word to yourself00:02:06
right these are the conversations I00:02:08
would have with myself and it's time for00:02:09
you to start having the same00:02:11
conversations really take some time to00:02:13
think about that and if you haven't done00:02:15
it ask yourself why the craziest part00:02:18
about struggling to keep promises to00:02:20
yourself is that we often take this into00:02:23
other aspects including our relationship00:02:25
with God we keep our word to people but00:02:27
we don't keep our word to God I remember00:02:30
I was studying the Bible and this00:02:31
particular passage of scripture came up00:02:33
that I had never seen before and when I00:02:35
tell you it smack me across the face and00:02:37
I want to read it to you it says when00:02:40
you make a promise to God don't delay in00:02:43
following through for God takes no00:02:46
pleasure in fools keep all the promises00:02:49
you make to him it is better to say00:02:52
nothing than to make a promise and not00:02:54
keep it don't let your mouth make you00:02:57
sin and don't defend your by telling the00:03:00
temple messenger that the promise you00:03:03
made was a mistake that would make God00:03:05
angry and he might wipe out everything00:03:08
you have achieved talk is cheap like00:03:11
Daydreams and other useless activities00:03:14
fear God instead y'all when I read that00:03:17
scripture the conviction of the Lord00:03:18
Came Upon me so heavy because all of the00:03:21
things that I promised God that I said00:03:23
that I would do they just began to rush00:03:25
through my mind I thought about all the00:03:28
times where I told God that I would00:03:29
spend time with him and then I let the00:03:31
day go by I thought about all the times00:03:33
where I said that I would work on this00:03:35
one thing that he told me to do and then00:03:36
I prioritize other things like all these00:03:39
things begin to rush through my mind and00:03:41
maybe even as I'm saying this these00:03:43
things are starting to come to your mind00:03:45
and you're realizing that you really do00:03:47
struggle to keep promises to yourself00:03:50
and not just to yourself but also to God00:03:53
this is an area that affects every00:03:54
single part of our lives and if we don't00:03:57
start to make a change now then we're00:03:59
never going to reap a harvest not00:04:02
keeping promises to yourself is like00:04:03
planting a seed expecting a harvest but00:04:06
never watering it how do you expect your00:04:09
seed to grow if you never water it right00:04:12
keeping promises to yourself is like00:04:14
watering the seed your word is the seed00:04:17
that you plant and when you begin to00:04:18
show up and put forth the effort that's00:04:21
you watering it when you say that you're00:04:23
going to do something and you keep your00:04:25
word there is fruit attached to that00:04:27
some of us are even missing seasons and00:04:29
blessings that God has for us because we00:04:32
won't show up that scripture tells us00:04:35
that it is better to say nothing at all00:04:37
to keep your mouth shut than to make a00:04:39
promise to God and break it God takes00:04:42
our words seriously the word of God said00:04:45
that life and death is in the power of00:04:46
the tongue and those who love to talk00:04:48
will eat the fruit of it you're either00:04:50
ring ripe fruit or rotten fruit by the00:04:53
words that you choose to speak over your00:04:55
life now I know that we all have00:04:57
different reasons why we struggle to00:04:58
keep promises to ourselves sometimes00:05:01
it's a Time issue where you may have00:05:03
more demands than you have capacity and00:05:05
you're still trying to figure out how to00:05:07
balance00:05:08
everything sometimes there may be an00:05:10
emotional wound that is causing you to00:05:12
be stuck in your head and to sabotage00:05:15
yourself sometimes it's a matter of00:05:17
being overly ambitious this happens a00:05:20
lot of time and it's one of the reasons00:05:22
why people struggle to be consistent00:05:24
sometimes you really do bite off more00:05:26
than you can choose where you get very00:05:27
excited about an opportunity or a new00:05:30
project that you're starting so you set00:05:32
all of these ambitious goals for00:05:33
yourself let's say you wanted to start a00:05:35
YouTube channel and you said you know00:05:36
what I'm so excited I'm going to post00:05:38
three videos a week and then you don't00:05:40
keep the promises to yourself because00:05:42
you didn't realize the cost and the00:05:45
level of preparation that it would take00:05:47
to be able to sustain that and a lot of00:05:49
us actually do this in our relationship00:05:51
with God where we are underestimating00:05:53
how much time it takes to really be00:05:55
spiritually developed when you come into00:05:57
the presence of God God does not need00:06:00
anything from you he's trying to get00:06:02
something to you and sometimes it takes00:06:04
more than the 10 minutes that you can00:06:06
squeeze in in your schedule now again00:06:08
when you're beginning building your00:06:09
relationship with God I completely00:06:11
understand that seasons change and00:06:13
sometimes time is tighter than others00:06:15
but there are times where you need to00:06:17
make more time you need to make it a00:06:19
priority to press into the presence of00:06:21
God you need to eliminate some of those00:06:23
distractions and really lock in or you00:06:25
will miss what God is trying to do in00:06:27
your life because you're rushing to the00:06:28
next thing00:06:30
honor your promises to God a lot of you00:06:32
have been saying that you want to get00:06:33
closer to God and you're going to show00:06:35
up this year and you're going to study00:06:36
your Bible and you're going to00:06:38
prioritize prayer but are you keeping00:06:40
the promises you make to yourself or are00:06:43
you making excuses are you saying well I00:06:45
don't have the time for that I just I00:06:47
don't have the emotional capacity for00:06:49
this you know today was a long day I00:06:51
just can't do it right I just don't have00:06:53
the energy when you really want00:06:55
something we make the time for it if you00:06:58
got home from work and you were tired00:07:00
and your friend said you know what girl00:07:02
I'mma pay for you to go to dinner let's00:07:03
go out I'm sure you would get the energy00:07:06
we have to really begin to question some00:07:08
of the things that go through our mind00:07:10
that prevent us from keeping our00:07:11
promises to ourselves especially those00:07:14
of you who have creative projects that00:07:16
God has told you to work on and maybe00:07:17
you work a 9 to-5 and the N9 to5 is00:07:20
draining you but you made a promise to00:07:22
yourself that you were going to take00:07:23
that project seriously you have to push00:07:26
past those moments of fatigue and press00:07:29
through because the fruit is on the00:07:31
other side of your commitment to00:07:33
yourself the fruit is on the other side00:07:35
of the commitment and the promise you00:07:37
made to God we often say things like00:07:39
Lord I love you Lord I'm going to serve00:07:41
you God you are actually Lord over my00:07:43
life but is he Lord over your time is00:07:46
God lord over your time because if he00:07:50
truly is Lord over your time then you'll00:07:53
understand that God exists outside of00:07:54
time and the time that you prioritize to00:07:57
spend with him the time that you00:07:58
prioritize to work on the things that00:08:01
he's told you to do is not time wasted00:08:03
but in fact God will do more with that00:08:05
seed that you planted that small seed00:08:08
than you ever could by yourself and it00:08:11
all starts with just honoring your00:08:13
commitments so how do we do this how do00:08:15
we keep the promises we make to00:08:17
ourselves and to God first I think we00:08:19
have to understand what a promise00:08:21
actually is a promise is defined as a00:08:24
declaration or assurance that one will00:08:26
do a particular thing and that a00:08:29
particular thing will happen so once you00:08:32
understand what a promise actually is00:08:34
you have to determine what do I have to00:08:36
put in place in order to keep my word00:08:39
making the Declaration and the promise00:08:40
is just an audible act but there are00:08:42
actions that are attached to it and00:08:45
sometimes those actions require00:08:46
sacrifices it requires prioritizing00:08:50
rearranging sometimes it requires you to00:08:52
walk away from things that have been00:08:53
draining your time and to push yourself00:08:56
in a way that you've never done before00:08:58
if you don't count the ca of what it00:09:00
takes to actually keep your promises00:09:02
then you'll just keep talking talking00:09:04
talking and never seeing any fruit so00:09:06
let's give an example let's say you made00:09:08
a promise to yourself that you were00:09:09
going to get closer to God this year and00:09:11
spend more time with him the first thing00:09:14
that you have to do is to identify what00:09:16
are the things that are preventing you00:09:17
from doing this maybe you work a00:09:19
demanding 9 to5 and you're struggling to00:09:21
build a routine and every time you get00:09:23
home you're exhausted and drained so now00:09:25
that you've identified those barriers00:09:27
now you have to say okay what do I need00:09:29
to put in place so that I can keep this00:09:31
promise to myself and to God that may00:09:34
look like waking up earlier it may look00:09:37
like staying up a little bit later at00:09:39
night if the morning time is not for you00:09:42
it may look like prioritizing your lunch00:09:44
break and what you would be using to eat00:09:46
maybe used to fast and dedicate to00:09:48
spending more time with God it may look00:09:50
like sacrificing your morning podcast to00:09:52
drive in silence or listen to worship00:09:54
music and pray to the Lord it may look00:09:57
like using the time that you would00:09:58
usually use to watch YouTube videos to00:10:00
study your word there's always a00:10:03
sacrifice when it comes to keeping a00:10:04
promise to yourself and often that00:10:06
sacrifice is time comfort and pleasure00:10:10
again there's always a sacrifice when it00:10:12
comes to keeping a promise that you've00:10:13
made to yourself and usually those00:10:16
sacrifices are time comfort and pleasure00:10:19
for me personally I find a lot of00:10:21
pleasure and comfort in watching YouTube00:10:23
videos and keeping up with all of my00:10:25
favorite vloggers but I didn't realize00:10:26
how much time it was taking away from00:10:29
things that I need to be executing in00:10:30
this season sometimes you don't even00:10:33
realize what's a distraction until it's00:10:35
identified to you by the Lord and so00:10:37
maybe you need to sit in prayer and say00:10:39
God reveal to me what is distracting me00:10:42
what is keeping me from keeping this00:10:43
promise to myself and to showing up for00:10:45
you now a lot of times honestly it may00:10:48
be a heart issue again we make time for00:10:51
the things that are important to us and00:10:53
so we have to sometimes be honest and00:10:56
say you know what Lord I have not been00:10:58
AC like spending time with you is00:11:01
important to me my actions show00:11:03
otherwise my words are saying that you00:11:05
know I want to spend time with you but00:11:06
my actions are showing otherwise but00:11:09
again that first step is really00:11:11
identifying the things that are00:11:13
preventing you from keeping your promise00:11:14
and then putting a plan in place and you00:11:17
do that with the Lord the Lord is full00:11:19
of practical wisdom right for our00:11:21
everyday lives and he will help you to00:11:23
navigate around these barriers so that00:11:25
you can move forward now the second part00:11:27
of keeping promises to yourself is00:11:29
actually committing again the scripture00:11:31
says that talk is cheap we say things00:11:34
all day and have no intention on doing00:11:36
them but one of the way that you can00:11:37
really start to keep the promises to00:11:39
yourself is by number one verbally00:11:41
committing and number two getting some00:11:44
accountability when there is no one00:11:46
holding you accountable for what you're00:11:47
going to do especially if you have a00:11:49
long history of breaking promises to00:11:52
yourself you're probably going to stay00:11:53
in that cycle for a very long time so00:11:56
you have to do something different when00:11:58
I'm working on on keeping promises to00:12:00
myself one of the first things that I00:12:01
will do is I will actually write down00:12:03
what I'm going to do and I will add a00:12:05
date to it by writing down that date of00:12:08
when I say I'm going to get that thing00:12:09
done it creates a sense of urgency in me00:12:12
that I didn't have before because00:12:14
sometimes lingering deadlines and just00:12:16
kind of those blurry lines allow us to00:12:18
make excuses and reason our way out of00:12:20
doing something but when you begin to00:12:22
set a date for something it creates this00:12:24
urgency in your mind now for me I00:12:27
usually go a step further and once I00:12:29
have have a commitment a written and a00:12:30
verbal commitment that I've made I will00:12:33
often hold myself accountable by either00:12:35
telling one of my trusted friends who I00:12:37
know will be like girl what's going on00:12:39
with that you said you were going to do00:12:40
that and you didn't or sometimes I'll00:12:42
make a public statement right I have00:12:44
done this plenty of times when it comes00:12:46
to launching programs books journals uh00:12:49
things like the doers Community I will00:12:51
tell people this is what I'm doing even00:12:53
if I haven't done it yet that way I know00:12:55
that there are other people anticipating00:12:57
what I'm going to release now don't00:12:59
recommend doing a public declaration as00:13:01
a form of commitment if you are in the00:13:03
beginning stages of doing this because00:13:05
you might create unnecessary pressure00:13:07
for yourself but I do recommend at least00:13:10
getting an accountability partner that00:13:11
can help you to move past those places00:13:14
of procrastination And Delay even if00:13:16
it's spending time with God maybe you00:13:18
need a Bible study partner where you00:13:20
guys carve out time in your week and you00:13:22
meet consistently it is okay to have00:13:25
help you do not have to do everything on00:13:27
your own and if you really want want to00:13:29
start keeping the promises to yourself00:13:31
you will do whatever it takes you have00:13:34
to have that mindset that I am going to00:13:36
do whatever it takes I'm going to get00:13:38
uncomfortable I'm going to get up00:13:40
earlier I'm going to stay up later you00:13:42
have to develop that or you're going to00:13:44
be stuck again do not let your mouth00:13:47
make you sin it is better to say nothing00:13:49
at all than to make a promise that00:13:51
you're not going to keep some of you may00:13:53
even need to enter a silent season where00:13:55
you just stop saying that you're going00:13:57
to do things until you've done the last00:13:59
thing that you said you were going to do00:14:01
there's no need into making new goals00:14:03
and setting all these bigger and bigger00:14:04
Ambitions for yourself if you're not00:14:06
going to do the last things that you00:14:08
said you were going to do start simple00:14:11
so I hope that this has been helpful for00:14:13
you let's quickly recap everything that00:14:15
we talked about how do we keep promises00:14:17
to ourselves number one identify the00:14:20
distractions and the obstacles that have00:14:22
been preventing you from keeping that00:14:24
promise once those things are identified00:14:27
you can start to put a plan in place00:14:30
number two make a commitment you can do00:14:33
this audibly and written right when you00:14:36
make a written commitment and you write00:14:37
a date next to it it creates urgency and00:14:40
you can go a step further by getting00:14:41
some accountability this can either be00:14:44
by telling people publicly what you're00:14:45
doing or you can go tell a trusted00:14:48
friend who you know will check up on you00:14:50
and hold you accountable it is okay to00:14:52
have help you do not have to do this00:14:54
alone and the more you practice the00:14:56
skill the easier it will be to keep the00:14:58
commitments to yourself because you're00:14:59
going to start seeing the fruit and let00:15:02
me tell you something once you start00:15:03
seeing the fruit of what happens when00:15:05
you keep the commitments you make to00:15:06
yourself and to God you're never going00:15:08
to want to stop right now you probably00:15:10
don't have a lot of motivation because00:15:11
you're not seeing any fruit you're00:15:13
feeling very discouraged and you're00:15:14
focusing so much on the past that you00:15:16
can't even see what's in the future for00:15:18
you start simple follow the steps that00:15:21
I've given you and partner with the Lord00:15:23
in prayer and you will be able to keep00:15:25
the promises that you make to yourself00:15:27
