Sermon notes

The devil’s strategy to drive our soul and our society into ruin is this:

  • Deceptive ideas – the Devil
  • Play to disordered desires – the flesh
  • Normalized in a sinful society –  the world

“Who you are today is a result of your thoughts in the past. Who you become in the future will reflect what you think about today.” Pastor Craig Groeschel

The life we have is a reflection of the thoughts we think. What we think determines who we become.

Romans 7:23-24

Philippians 4:12

2 Corinthians 10:4

2 Corinthians 10:5

We go to great lengths to protect the brain but we have become negligent about protecting the mind.

Romans 8:6

Steps to become a thought warrior:

  • We need to reject unproductive thoughts.
  • We need to filter out bad thoughts.
  • We need to surrender every thought.
  • We need to promote pure thoughts.
  • We need to meditate on godly thoughts.

We are not saying you shape your life with good thoughts; we are saying you shape it with God thoughts.
