The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 3: The Importance of Peace

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore..,” Ephesians 6:12-14a 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts… Colossians 3:15 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. Colossians 3:15 AMP 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1 John 2:20 But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR HEART SENSITIVE TO THE LORD: 1.

Walk In The God Kind of Love. 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT
