Why the Battle in Your Brain Has to Be Won First | Faith in the Storm series | Ep 366

Show Notes

Summary:
Have you ever felt like the storm you're walking through is about to take you out? I’ve been there too. In this new Faith in the Storm series, I’m sharing what changed everything for me—the real reason the storm keeps taking us down… and the surprising place our breakthrough actually begins. If you’re tired of being tossed around by life, this is your first step to peace in the middle of it.

Takeaways:

• Faith is divine persuasion—it comes from Father, not force.
• Hearing the Word must go deeper than head knowledge.
• Outer storms reveal inner beliefs we’ve buried.
• The brain can’t tell the difference between real danger and emotional drama.
• Anxiety spirals become hardwired without intentional disruption.
• We must take every thought captive (2 Cor 10:5).
• Inner authority gives you access to outer victory.
• Jesus modeled peace and power in the storm.
• We are seated in heavenly places—live from there.
• You already have authority. Fear just tries to make you forget it.

Quotes:

• “Faith is listening until you’re persuaded—by Father, not fear.”
• “Your outer storm is exposing the real one: the battle in your brain.”
• “You can’t exercise authority externally if you don’t walk in it internally.”
• “Jesus didn’t panic. He stood in peace, spoke in power, and expected results.”

Courageous Action:

1. Identify your current outer storm.
2. Journal the inner storm it’s triggering.
3. Ask Father for His promise.
4. For 7 days, sit with one scripture promise:
• Write it out.
• Read aloud.
• Sit with it.
• Ask Holy Spirit what you’re missing.
