**Torment is not the inheritance of a believer; freedom is.** Break torment off your life, as Pastor Todd Coconato shares ways to achieve our freedom and break torment and anxiety from our lives. You will learn how to take your thoughts captive, renew your mind daily, and embrace the truth from Scripture to overcome mental torment.
Pastor Todd teaches that freedom is a believer's inheritance, not torment. He cites 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. He stresses that torment is not from God, and anything not from God does not have the legal right to remain.

He highlights ways to break free from the torment of the mind, encouraging us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, as not every thought that enters the mind belongs there. He stresses that every thought that is not of God should be rejected. He advises renewing our minds daily, as a mind filled with fear will face torment, while a mind filled with truth will produce peace. He insists that we can come into the place of peace that passes all understanding, urging us to refuse agreement with a lie, citing John 8:32, which states that we shall know the truth and it shall set us free.
Pastor Todd continues to highlight the various ways to overcome the torment of the mind, emphasizing guarding what enters our minds, as Proverbs 4:23 has commanded us to keep our hearts with all diligence, because constant exposure to negativity will feed our hearts with torment. He goes on to encourage us to speak the word out loud, as it shifts the atmosphere and silences the enemy’s voice. He also encourages submitting to God and resisting the enemy, explaining that the enemy does not leave based on feelings, but rather, he leaves based on authority.
He further emphasizes worship amid challenges, as praise shifts the focus from the problem to God’s presence, and torment can’t remain where God is enthroned. He also highlights the need to bring hidden things into the light, be accountable, and be teachable, while urging us to stay filled with the spirit of God, as a life that is fed with the flesh will struggle, but a life that is fed with God’s spirit will have strength and clarity. He concludes by encouraging us to stand by our identity in Christ, as we’re children of God with authority, and when identity is understood, torment loses its grip.
