2Corinthians 10:3-4a (NLT) - We are human, but we don't wage war as humans do. We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons... To win this war in our minds we must use God's weapons not the world's. In this study we will continue to learn about each piece of God's armor, what it is and how to use it in everyday life. These pieces of God's armor are critical in helping us win the war in our mind and overcoming depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, etc.

Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, inferiority, anger, jealousy, envy, guilt, grief and loneliness are potentially paralyzing issues that take place in a person's mind. Most of us will battle one or more of these in our life time. We are in a 2 part lesson looking at the 4 characteristics of this war in our mind. In lesson 1 we learned that it is a Spiritual War so God must be involved. In this lesson we will look at the last 3 characteristics. These 4 characteristics are foundational in learning how to win the battle against these issues in our mind.

The greatest battle that we face as believers is the battle in our mind. As Paul says in Romans 7:21-23: Rom 7:21 NLT I have discovered this principle of life--that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. Rom 7:22 NLT I love God's law with all my heart. Rom 7:23 NLT But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. In this lesson we will begin our discussion of the 4 characteristics of this war that takes place in our mind. These 4 characteristics help us to understand how to confront this battle and win.

In this lesson we will introduce "The War in Our Mind" Series. We will talk about why this is important as well as the topics that will be covered. You will not want to miss this foundational lesson to one of the most listened to series we have done. This is an updated version to this same series that we did several years ago.

Can you define an effective and productive Christian? What does this kind of life look like? Is effectiveness measured by how many notches we have in our “gospel gun” belt showing how many people we witnessed to this week or the number of people we personally led to Christ? Is productivity measured by how large our ministry is, or how popular we are on social media? Is it determined by how we dress or what kind of music we listen to? Is our health or our bank account taken into consideration? This series looks at what God says makes us effective & productive as followers of Christ.
