WHAT IS A MINDSET

MINDSET: A habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.

A biblical mindset

As believers, we approach life and decision-making through the lens of biblical teachings.

As believers, we use God's Word to direct our lives, actively renewing our thoughts to align with God's values.

As believers, we are focusing on growing spiritually, rather than focusing on the desires of this world.

The Big P word: Pride! Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.

The Big D word: Distraction! Satan wants you to focus on difficulties, because then you become less focused on your relationship with God, prayer, scripture study, and other spiritual empowerments.

THE Big F word: FEAR! God has not given us the spirit of fear.

The Big H word: Heart! Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. Satan said in his heart, "I will ascend into heaven."

Pastor Kevin Burroughs-Neeley

The Big "P" Word PRIDE

Satin End Game! is to consume us with pride.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

I John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

I John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

THE HEART / PRIDE

1 Samuel 16:7 Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven.

David's qualities as a man after God's own heart:

• Faith
• Love
• Repentance
• Humility
• Honesty
• Integrity
• A desire to please God

2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Resist: To refrain from doing or having something tempting or unwise.

Flee: To run away often from danger.

WHEN A BELIEVER RESISTS SATAN, HE FLEES!

THIS IS BECAUSE, as a believer submitted to God, that believer is

DANGEROUS!!!

Cause The Devil To Run In Terror From You (Part 3)

Other ways to resist the devil is to be sober and vigilant, stay alert and be ready to proclaim the gospel. You must continue to have fellowship with other believers, declaring the Word of God.

The Greek word for resist means to stand against. Resist comes from the Latin word resistere, meaning "to take a stand," or "withstand," be it mental, physical, philosophical, emotional, or otherwise. To defend yourself or their group against a threat can be said to resist.

The more you submit yourself to God, the more you become the devil's worst nightmare!

Warfare begins in our hearts as we fight against sin; sin prevents us from loving God and our neighbor. Living in right standing with God needs to be our first line of defense in spiritual warfare. However, if we succumb to sin, we will find ourselves resisting the grace of God and opposing His will.

SO, WHEN BELIEVERS RESIST SATAN, HE FLEES FROM US BECAUSE WE ARE

DANGEROUS!!!

Pastor Kevin Burroughs-Neeley

James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Resist: Withstand the action or effect. Antibodies help us to resist infection. To withstand, hold out against, combat, counter, or resist temptation.

In general, resist means to withstand; oppose, to fight against or oppose something or someone.

Resist also means to refain from doing or having something tempting or unwise. Ladies might say "I couldn't resist buying the blouse." You might even say" I couldn't resist telling them just how I feel."

SO, WHEN BELIEVERS RESIST SATAN, HE FLEES FROM US BECAUSE WE ARE

DANGEROUS!!!
