    Sin habits lead to destruction. Until we sin satan has zero right to fill us with anxiety, anger, discontentment, depression and a million other bad things.
    After we repent and start our plan for change… he again loses his right to pound us with negative emotions.
    Second, pick the negative emotion you struggle with most. Example: Google “Verses ______.”
    I will use the example of inadequacy. Google gave me these verses.
    Philippians 4:13 ESV I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
    Go to war with sin and see what “I can do all things” starts to mean in your life.
    James 1:2-4 ESV Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
    Fight sin, and keep filling yourself with scripture, then see what the end of this verse starts to mean.
    2 Timothy 1:7 ESV For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
    A war on sin increases the Spirit in us. Asking the Holy Spirit to fill us (After full repentance) increases the Spirit in us. Praying:
    “Father, teach me how to replace ______ thoughts, and fill me with Your love,” increases the Spirit in us.
    Finally, realize: Many negative things in life are because of sin. Use that valuable knowledge to inspire yourself to increase your war on _______.
