WINNING THE WAR IN YOUR MIND

Winning the War in Your Mind - Part 1 of 4 | January 8, 2023

Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad

FACT: Your mind controls your life.

QUESTION: What is controlling your mind?

3 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.    

-2 Corinthians 10:4-5

HOW TO WIN:

1. Identify the PROBLEM

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.    

-1 Peter 5:8

2. Ask PROBING questions

…So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.    

-2 Corinthians 2:11

3. Pinpoint the LIE

We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.   

 -2 Corinthians 10:5b

4. REPLACE it with the TRUTH

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

-John 8:32
