IDENTITY THEFT—Part 2

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. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

One of the most common lies that God’s children believe is this, “This is just the way I am. I can’t change.
I’ve tried it before and it didn’t work out, and so that proves that I can never ever change in this area of my life.”


ARE YOU A PRISONER LOCKED BY DECEPTION?
"It’s believing a lie, …they are prisoners of a lie."

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. 2 Corinthians 10:5

…whatever is true…noble…right…pure…lovely…admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Philippians 4:8

· RELEASE RIGHT WORDS.
The tongue has the power of life and death… Proverbs 18:21

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14 NLT

· ATTACK AND WIN.
To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me.
Colossians 1:29-2:1

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. Philippians 3:13-14

What is the one thing God wants to change in you next?
