Rethink
Renewed Mind-Transformed Life
Thoughts are what govern our emotions, attitudes, behaviour and lifestyles. BUT, have you ever considered what governs our thoughts and why? The strategic role and importance to healthy discipleship that the renewed mind has, cannot, and should not, be underestimated. It is absolutely essential for the Christian to know about it, understand it and walk in it. There are many links in the Bible that reveal the close relationship between renewed thinking and renewed behaviour (transformation) Rom.12:2. The renewed mind helps the Christian to be more effective in their thinking, decision making and to be more fruitful in their relationship with God.
Over 20 years ago, principles of the renewed mind, as the Bible reveals them, were collated and brought under a heading I called 'Rethink'.
Rethink is a biblically based, Holy Spirit led initiative that assists Christians towards a renewed mind and Godly thinking processes as revealed in scripture. It examines and explores the influences that play a strategical
part in forming our thoughts and highlights the dangers of not challenging those influences in a Godly way. The renewed mind identifies and reveals God’s will for us, helps our spirit to receive it and apply it to our lives. Satan seeks to imprison a Christian's ability to think independently from worldly, Satanic and fleshly influences. He aims to suffocate the leading of the Holy Spirit and to subdue truth and bring total dysfunction to the Christian's Life through deception, lies, half-truths, mis-direction and mis-information. (Rom.12:12; Eph. 4:17-23) esv.
Rethink has developed a number of simple but effective tools that help Christians identify and challenge ungodly influences and the integrity of their thoughts. By recognising, understanding, confronting and managing these influences we no longer give them permission to manipulate our decisions that are so often characterised by poor choices and a failure to deal appropriately with temptation and everyday life issues.The truth is that many Christians, including leaders, are unaware of the true strategic effectiveness of the renewed mind and its spiritual function.The Holy Spirit plays a crucial part in this challenge as he reveals truth, the source of untruth and guides us towards Godly responses and healthy discipleship.
The Holy Spirit has taught us much and many hundreds of Christians have found great benefit and growth from our ministry.
Rethink uses workshops, life coaching, video conferencing and speaking engagements to deliver their message.
