Levi Lusko -- Fresh Life Church
Why declare war? You are at war whether you want to be or not.
It's not a playground, it's a battleground.
The devil - the world (worldview that is hostile to God) - an enemy within (the flesh).
We all need protection from ourselves.
We sabotage ourselves.
You can't win the battle you won't admit you're in.
The wolf will rise in your heart.
Theodore Roosevelt story about crossing the barb wire.
Equal parts warrior but lover.
To be a wolf, you have to ::
Think Like A Wolf
You are what you think.
Proverbs 23:7
You can change the way you feel by changing the way you think.
Take the reigns on your thinking.
You don't have to think about everything you feel but you will feel everything you think about.
As goes the inner war, so goes the outer war.
1. Negative thoughts can't lead to a positive life.
Begin with your thought life.
Polarity of the mind.
The weapon is no good if you're learning to use it when it counts.
Colossians 3:1-2 set your mind.
Romans 12:2 the renewing of your mind
Matthew 22:37 with all your mind
What happens in your mind really does matter.
The reward for negative thinking is more negativity.
2. You will find what you're looking for.
Selective attention and confirmation bias.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 this is how Christ wants you to live!!
Gratitude, prayer, being happy.
Let's be a merry people!
3. It's impossible to worry and to worship at the same time.
You can't grumble and give God glory at the same time.
You can't complain and encourage someone at the same time.
