Series: Live Free!
John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 8:32
And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
How to Live Free:
1) Submit to the control and authority of the Holy Spirit.
2) Resist what tempts you.
a. Avoid people, places, and things.
3) Change how you think.
Proverbs 23:7, For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
Your thinking dictates your actions. Right thinking will produce right actions. The same is true for wrong thinking. Wrong thinking will produce wrong actions.
Changing how you think involves renewing your mind.
Philippians 2:5, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
Romans 12:2, And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
- Read your Bible daily. Memorize scripture. Meditate on the Word both day and night.
- Stay away from TV shows and movies that will cause you to yield to your fleshly desires.
- Spend time with people of like faith. (People that add to your spiritual growth and maturity)
