Renew your mind.
Until you change what you believe about yourself, you will not be able to change your behaviour, because “as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” It is how you see yourself that determines your behavior.
If you are still struggling with bad habits in your Christian walk, it is because there is a stronghold you have allowed in your mind that has kept you in captivity. These strongholds are imaginations and thoughts. Bondage is a house of thoughts. Therefore, prayer alone is not what will change your behavior. You have to renew your mind.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 say, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Therefore, I encourage you to put an end to the wrong imaginations and stop thinking contrary to the Word of God. By so doing, you will be liberated to live right because you have already been free from sin as a Christian.
Instruction
