Seth Broadhurst on Freedom in Christ and the Battle for Our Minds
Seth Broadhurst, church planter, pastor, and leader joins us on the podcast today to have a vitally important conversation about Freedom In Christ, Steps in Freedom to Christ, The Battle for Our Minds, Renewing our Minds, Freed to Lead, and Hope for Leaders. Stronghold BusterStep #1 – Work out the lie you have been believing. Step #2 – Say what effect believing the lie has had in your life. Imagine how things in your life could be different if you no longer believed the lie, and instead believed the truth. Step #3 – Spend some time reviewing the truth with the help of a good concordance. Write 3-5 verses that speak to the truth about the lie. Step #4 – Write a declaration using a formula: “I renounce or say ‘No’ to the lie that…, I announce the truth that or say ‘Yes’ to the truth that…” I have found it most effective to write this in the form of a prayer. Step #5 – Pray this personal prayer daily for a period of time. Over the course of 30 – 40 – 50 days you will find that your mind is being renewed by God’s truth rather than being ravished by the lie. We have found that people who participate in this spiritual practice see their mental and spiritual strongholds come tumbling down.International website: freedominChrist.org
