This is Just the Way I Am
• A LIE BELIEVED AS TRUTH WILL AFFECT YOU AS IF IT WERE TRUE.
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
ochuroma (okh-oo'-ro-mah); to fortify, a strong castle, a prisoner locked by deception.
___ Financial Strongholds
___ Relational Strongholds
___ Habitual Strongholds
___ Mental Strongholds
___ Spiritual Strongholds
___ Physical Strongholds
THE STRATEGY
• CAPTURE WRONG THOUGHTS.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
…whatever is true…noble…right…pure…lovely…admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
• RELEASE RIGHT WORDS.
The tongue has the power of life and death…
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. NLT
• ATTACK AND WIN.
To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me.
agonizomai (ag-o-nid'-zom-ahee); to struggle, to compete for a prize, to contend with an adversary, and win.
…But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
What is the one thing God wants to change in you next?
