The Invisible War: Set Free From Me

Romans 8
 
Three enemies that are trying to mess up your life:
 
     1.  The world.
     2.  The flesh.
     3.  The devil.
 
Your biggest enemy is not Satan, its not the world, but it is you.
 
Best intentions are not good enough.
 
The cures for weapons of self-destruction.
 
     1.  The first weapon is shame.
     2.  Uncontrolled thoughts.
     3.  Compulsions.
     4.  Fear.
     5.  Hopelessness.
     6.  Bitterness.
     7. Insecurity.
    
Seven Habits in being set free:
 
     1.  I must remind myself daily what Jesus did for me.
         a.  A lot of Christians are still simply relying on willpower to change.
         b.  No self-help programs can change your heart.
         c.  The way we act is determined by the way we feel, and the way we feel is determined by the way we think.
 
     2. I ask the Holy Spirit to give me better thoughts.
 
         a.  There's the mind-set of your old nature, and there's the mindset of the Holy Spirit.
         b.  You choose what you dwell on:
              (1) Satan gives you ideas, that's called temptation.
              (2) The Holy Spirit gives you ideas, that's called inspiration.
 
     3.  I realize I have a new ability to say no.
 
          a.  I don't have any obligation anymore to listen to my old nature.
