Renew Your Mind

During the majority of my past work with small businesses locally and abroad one common thread remained: success did not happen until minds were renewed. Even in my Encouragement Coaching no major breakthroughs occur until the mind in renewed, refreshed and begins to think differently.  And yes, once the mind begins to change, the rest of the body will follow. So how do we renew our minds and why is it important?  Let's begin with the end result - Victory.

You cannot become victorious if you never put up a fight. No, I don't mean a fist fight, but a fight with the enemy where you are standing on God's Word.  We renew our minds by trusting in God's Word 100%. Let's look at The Whole Armor of God revealed in Ephesians 6:14-20, " Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." *|FNAME|*, those verses represent the six pieces of spiritual armor that shield us daily. We are also given the answer to "Why we should renew our mind" - it helps us to speak boldly.  So go ahead and "Renew Your Mind".
