As Christians, we need to know our new identity instead of constantly living in the old one. To know Christ intimately means to abide in Him. We are saints, not sinners so we need to break the strongholds (lies) of Satan by taking each of our thoughts captive to Christ. [Reprogramming your mind] In order to know what to feel/do in a situation, say the thought and end it with "in Jesus' name I pray" then you will know whether it is from God's truth (p.136)
"Faith is no mystical concept. It is simply taking God at His Word and acting in light of that. When you do this, you will begin to see the invisible world of the Spirit controlling your visible world, and not the other way around (2 Cor 4:18; Heb 1:3)". p.137
"Ask the Holy Spirit to reprogram your mind with the facts." p.151
To live out our new identity as those victorious in Christ.
Do not walk by the flesh but walk by the Spirit.
To have faith means to trust God and His Word, putting my confidence in God.
