Passion City Church Podcast

You can live in freedom.—Thoughts that go unchecked long enough in our minds cause us to stumble and sin against God. It’s the enemy’s plan to let these thoughts fester and grow. However, we must remember that the work of Jesus is FINISHED. Not only has Jesus established a beachhead for us to launch into #Victory—he has provided us with blueprints of the enemy’s plans. In the power of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge of how the enemy operates, we defend our thoughts and break the cycle of sin and temptation! Join us next week as we dive into practical steps to defend ourselves against the enemy.⁣⁣To beat the enemy’s plan, it helps to know his thoughts. Look at the seven steps below that lead to the spiral of sin and temptation so that you can fight the enemy.⁣⁣1. A temptation from the enemy enters our minds.⁣2. We act on that temptation and we sin.⁣3. There is usually momentary pleasure.⁣4. We discover sin’s hook.⁣5. We are met by feelings of frustration guilt and shame.⁣6. The enemy shifts to a new tactic - condemnation.⁣7. We find ourselves vulnerable, weak, isolated, empty and longing.⁣—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1 At Passion City Church we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant.

“I’m going to win the battle of my mind because I have the power of the finished work of Jesus. I’m standing on victory and I’m going to move from that victory.” ⁣- Louie Giglio—We can all relate to the feeling of having to contend for our thoughts, that's why this truth was so encouraging: Jesus has given us victory at The Cross, and through the power of the Holy Spirit the ability take every thought captive for his glory! Remember, when Jesus died and rose on the third day, he rose to glorious and victorious life both now and forever. When He did, he gave this life to anyone who will put their trust in Him. The battle in our minds is real; it's not something we can push away or ignore. We need to arm ourselves with Paul's reminder in 2 Corinthians 10:5, "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." The week, Pastor Louie left us with a  practical challenge. To exercise authority over our thoughts with these five steps: 1. Examine it. Question it. Where did it come from? Does it match up with God's Word?2. Bind that thought before it binds you. Negative, tempting, or fearful thoughts will capture us if we don't take ahold of them first, rooted in the Word to know what God says about them. Let the Scripture sink in your heart and head so that the enemy can't short-circuit your calling or steal your purpose.3. Change the narrative. Don't merely bind the bad but begin to think about whatever is pure and good and lovely and praiseworthy (Phil 4:8) and write a new story.4. Act on that truth.5. Repeat. What is the thought that is binding you today? Examine it, bind it, and speak the truth in its place and begin walking in victory, the νικος of Christ!—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1At Passion City Church we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant.

“Comfort is not a fruit of the Spirit. Neither is convenience. Neither is easy. The gospel is about moving out. So let’s not put limits on where the gospel is going to take us.” ⁣- Pastor Brad Jones—Jesus has wired us with a mindset of reach so that others can receive the Good News of Jesus. The gospel is moving and the light of Jesus is spreading. Are you willing to move with it?⁣ Are you willing to deliver?—⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Key takeaways:—⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣+ Jesus alone has the power to perform miracles, give life and heal our soul.⁣+ If you want God to use your life for the extraordinary, then posture yourself as a receiver.⁣+ Jesus is the bread of life. When we choose Him for spiritual nourishment, we will never go hungry.⁣+ The disciples were ready not to produce a miracle, but rather to participate in a miracle.—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1 At Passion City Church we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant.
