The Key To Stopping Hang-Up Habits is NOT to Put Your Focus on The Stopping

According to Galatians 5:16, our focus is not to be on stopping walking in the flesh, but rather, our focus is to be walking in the Spirit.

When we identify something that defeats us, our tendency is to attempt to muster a bunch of will-power and focus on eliminating it.

Instead we must learn to reverse that paradigm and let our focus be the Lord — His power, His strength, His Spirit.

What happened when Peter, while walking on the water shifted his focus from the Lord to the winds and waves? He sank. Remember, what’s over your head is under his feet. Keep your focus on him.

Fill up with Jesus… there won’t be any room for the other stuff!

Action Items:

• Ask yourself, “How have I been dealing with areas of defeat in my life?  What has my focus been?  Stopping or starting?”
• Decide today to focus on the Starting that we talked about in this video.
• Take time and surrender every piece and part of yourself to the Lord.

Stay tuned for Lesson 5…
