Renewing the Mind, Breaking Free from Mental Torment

Renewing the Mind, Breaking Free from Mental Torment Two sides of freedom: 1. Deliverance is demons being cast out 2. Demolishing Strongholds - Strongholds being cast down There are 3 kinds of state of mind we can find ourselves in: 1. Slave (victim mentality) 2. Survivor (wilderness mentality. You’re in the middle, not a slave anymore but also not an overcomer) 3. Soldier (sonship mentality, mentality of kingdom. We work with God) God delivers us from bondage but not from battles. (Judges 3v1-2) 4 lessons I learned through pain: 1. Recognize your enemy, and face him. 2. Seek Jesus more than your freedom, because your freedom is a byproduct of being near Him. 3. Allow the Holy Spirit to take you through cleansing by His presence & His word. 4. Enduring suffering. (James 1v2; 2 Timothy 2v3 ) The person you become through the process is far more valuable than the breakthrough you’re seeking. 7 steps how to practically renew your mind (Romans 12v2): 1. Don’t wait for your circumstances to change before you start changing your mind. 2. Stop believing that you can’t control your thoughts 💭 (Philippians 4v8; Joshua 1v8; Psalm 1:v2) 3. What you feed your mind becomes your mindset. You can’t control your mindset but you can control what you feed your mind with. 4. Confess what you believe not what you feel. (Joshua 1v8) 5. Resist negative thoughts, assist positive thoughts. Bad thoughts are like weeds they need to be pulled out, and good thoughts are like seeds they need to be planted. Your effort is necessary. 6. Celebrate the process. Make a decision to never give up! 7. Expect Miracles. Expectation is a breeding ground for miracles! Do not allow your mind to imagine that bad things will happen to you, on the opposite imagine that God will come through.
