0:00:12.920,0:00:19.040

0:00:19.040,0:00:24.200
or mental health care. The title of this episode
is Kept in Perfect Peace. Louie starts out talking

0:00:24.200,0:00:30.680
about a step towards Freedom. He says, “You now have
the proper tools to step into the fight and

0:00:30.680,0:00:37.360
to stand your ground there will be days when
you’ll get get it right when you’ll trust in

0:00:37.360,0:00:44.320
your identity as a l son or daughter of God and
when you practice gratitude taking captive the

0:00:44.320,0:00:50.560
lies of worry and replacing those thoughts with
ones that are pure and lovely and there will be

0:00:50.560,0:00:57.000
days you’ll feel like you’re outnumbered or like
you’ve made no progress in your mission he goes

0:00:57.000,0:01:04.520
on given the given the length of this fight and
the likelihood of the highs and lows I want to

0:01:04.520,0:01:11.120
encourage you to focus both on the micro and the
macro picture so we’ll break it down here micro

0:01:11.120,0:01:18.320
he says this is your today right now in this
moment maybe this hour he asked the question

0:01:18.320,0:01:25.840
how can you win the next fight in front of you
how can I take captive this thought how can I

0:01:25.840,0:01:33.640
replace this worry he encourages us don’t look
ahead don’t look to the side look up fix your

0:01:33.640,0:01:41.880
eyes on Jesus win this fight take this step claim
this ground focus on the small picture he moves

0:01:41.880,0:01:50.400
into the macro picture of things he says the war
is already over Jesus has already conquered sin

0:01:50.400,0:01:56.880
death hell and the grave and he reminds us
remember fear’s Os or operating system that

0:01:56.880,0:02:03.680
we discussed it begins with fear but remember
that Jesus has already defeated fear once and

0:02:03.680,0:02:11.480
for all Louie says it might still prow around
speaking of of worry and fear he says it might

0:02:11.480,0:02:18.480
still prow around and act like a big tough lion
but it’s Hollow its fangs aren’t lethal and its

0:02:18.480,0:02:26.120
sting is gone Romans 8:15 of the NIV here it says
the spirit you receive does not make you slaves so

0:02:26.120,0:02:33.720
that you live in fear again rather the spirit you
Reed brought you about brought about your adoption

0:02:33.720,0:02:40.920
to sunship and by him we cry ABA father Lou goes
on he says for those who have put their faith in

0:02:40.920,0:02:48.440
Jesus we no longer need to fall back into fear
we are no longer bound by the ways of this world

0:02:48.440,0:02:56.720
or the workings of the enemy we are freed and more
than that we’re placed into a new family one where

0:02:56.720,0:03:04.560
we can with intimacy call Upon Our Father father
and he will answer no matter what today holds we

0:03:04.560,0:03:12.080
can stand assured that on the final day on that
final day we will win the war on worry once and

0:03:12.080,0:03:20.920
for all the macro picture of assurance fuels our
micro picture of launching our assault on worry

0:03:20.920,0:03:29.840
Freedom hope joy peace and refuge are not only
available but they are also our inheritance a

0:03:29.840,0:03:36.960
step towards freedom and Jesus has given you all
you need for life and godliness he has already

0:03:36.960,0:03:44.120
won the word war on worry defeating death hell
and the grave once and for all as you go from

0:03:44.120,0:03:50.720
here and Venture into your day to day keep these
things in mind worry is a Lie from the enemy we

0:03:50.720,0:03:56.960
can’t necessarily stop him from talking but
we can choose who we listen to the enemy or

0:03:56.960,0:04:03.320
our heavenly father so we need to remember fear
can lead to our desire to control which fuels

0:04:03.320,0:04:11.480
worry but God’s perfect love drives out fear and
when we Embrace his love we move toward surrender

0:04:11.480,0:04:19.880
and a life characterized by trust as we finish
remember that the peace of God the one that Paul

0:04:19.880,0:04:26.920
said surpasses all understanding will guard your
heart and your mind God is able to keep you from

0:04:26.920,0:04:35.720
stumbling and to present you to himself
blameless impure you are a l son or a loved
