We have learned some important things abut ourselves. We have two rulers at odds in our brain, the conscious and the sub-conscious. The rider and the elephant.
Now matter how much the rider conscious wants to control the behavior our sub-conscious will attempt to over throw the effort just by bringing other thoughts, (especially from the past or future).
Then we talked about the default mindset, taking us to places that we don’t want to go. It causes us to lose focus on the matter at hand by looking at everything and everyone around us.
This causes the victim mentality to try and get us to refuse responsibility of our own actions.
This morning we are going to look at some ways to recognize and combat when we are losing control of our battle against the enemy and another enemy——our own flesh.
God has given us tools to be more than a conqueror, which means we have things to conquer. Most of them are driven by things we have been exposed to or that we have exposed our self to.
We need to give the Holy Spirit the free reing in our lives to conquer those things which can (and often do) so easily beset us.
