Mastering the mind 

Part 3

 

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

 

Cognitive bias: a mistake in reasoning based on personal preferences or beliefs.

Reframing: creating a different way of looking at a situation, person, or relationship by changing its meaning.

 

You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control how you frame it.

 

 

12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.

Philippians 1:12-13

 

14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Philippians 1:14

 

REFRAMING YOUR STORY AND RELATIONSHIPS

 

Thank God for what didn’t happen.

 

Practice pre-framing.

 

Look for God’s goodness.

 

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2
