FREEDOM IN
CHRIST
Renewing the Mind
Transformation
Objective – Freedom in Christ needs to become a way of life
And to devise a strategy to continually renew the mind (Romans 12:2)
Our belief system has been shaped by our adversary (and our loved ones)
The enemy knows these thoughts and exploits them
Strongholds - read 2 Cor 10:3-5
Definition: A stronghold is a faulty belief that has been reinforced many times over a
long period of time
Transformation
How Strongholds are Established
1. our environment – see book
2. giving in to temptation – look at Jesus in the wilderness – read example of truck in
the mud
Demolishing Strongholds
1. close doors open to the enemy
2. Take personal responsibility for the WHOLE of your life
3. Take every thought captive (2 Cor 10:5)
The key to demolishing it is to uncover the lie behinds it
and then replace the lie with the truth
4. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind – until the truth
takes root. May have to protect that truth, surround it with truth.
Change the environment. (see pg 155)
Transformation
Commit for the Long Term - Jesus driven into and tempted in the desert
Luke 4: 13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until
an opportune time.
Homework – pg 158 witness
Session 9 Relating to Others
Objective: to understand our roles, and
responsibilities in relationships so that we can
grow together in Christ and express true unity
Matt 22:37-40
I. The Importance of Unity
Jesus’ Prayer for the body ... John 17:20-21
a. Freewill gives us responsibility
b. Changing the Spiritual Atmosphere
(illustration 1 page 175)
Session 9 Relating to Others
II. Understanding How God Comes to Us
(source of study)
III. Being Aware of Our Own Weakness (Isa.
6:5)
IV. We are Responsible for Our Own
Character and Others’ Needs
Difference between character and behavior
What about when Others do Wrong, it’s the
responsibility of the Holy Spirit – see John
16:8 (applicable to Believers)
Session 9 Relating to Others
Discipline – yes (read from pg 179 bot)
See page 180 re: Matthew 18:15-17
Discipline vs Judgment (Character)
Discipline vs Punishment —- P looks backward to the past
D looks to the future
When we are attacked – see 1 Peter 2:23 (in book)
