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.

21. The Overcoming Life - D. L. Moody
"If you are not overcoming temptations, the world is overcoming you.
How can the world be overcome? Not by education, not by experience; only by faith."
Fight worldly habits, temptations, pleasures.
Have humility, the yoke of Christ is light.
Hold up the candle.
There is no rest in sin.
"Let us go on turning as many as we can to righteousness. Let us be dead to the world, to its lies, its pleasures, and its ambitions, Let us live for God, continually going forth to win souls for Him. ...'Will you thus live and dies, O man immortal? Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of the thousands you come in contact with year by year" p.84
So many applicable, real life stories that is just as relevant today as when Moody wrote the book. Definitely worth a re-read to boost the spiritual life.
