Renew Your Mind to Overcome Your Obstacles and Carry Your Victory

By Esther | August 10th 2020 | Transformation and Spirituality, Life and Purpose

Obstacles are defined as a hindrance, obstruction, impediment, an interfering of what you are supposed to be doing, or of your progress. All of us have gone through some obstacles in our life. Yours may look different from what others are facing, but we all have them, and they are a part of life.

So why do obstacles exist? What purpose does it serve?

Obstacles are about building perseverance and endurance. This rolls around with the meaning of overcoming.

‘Whatever is born of God overcomes the world.’ – 1 John 5:4-5                              

This speaks volumes as it validates the notion that God is aware of the obstacles that are coming in our life, and in that, He has given us the power to overcome these obstacles. At the end of everything, we are ready to overcome whatever we need to overcome, be it in finances, rejection, fear, persecution, and even things that go against our dreams and our vision.

The idea of being able to overcome obstacles gives us the confirmation that victory is at hand. It is not about seeing or hearing the victory that is waiting to be claimed but about speaking it and claiming it. Because if you are talking more about what you see than what God has said, then you get stuck.

So how do you overcome obstacles and find inspiration in the world around you?

The first thing that you need to realize is that it has already been done in the Spirit. God has already planned for whatever is happening in your life. This has already been designed to be in your life. You have to come to realize that the things that are happening in your life that are causing you fear and intimidation are not the negativity that you need to overcome. They only become negative when you allow them to dictate how you can move forward in your life, how you show up, how you play in the big world. The obstacles will always be there. But there is already a set place of overcoming that you need to just access and realize and speak into your life.

When you come into that realization, then you can begin to ask. Sometimes, to move past the obstacles you have to ask for help. You don’t have to always be the only one trying to overcome your obstacles. God will send you people to help you do what needs to be done. Choose to take action in faith and not by sight and decide to carry off the victory. This begins your mindset transformation. But you have to acknowledge first your limiting beliefs before you can move forward to transforming your mindset.

‘When inspiration meets limited thinking, all progress will cease.’

There are moments in life when you feel so motivated and inspired that you sprint and run the mile towards what you want to achieve. But then you reach a point that you get tired or fed up and you slow down and lose your momentum. You end up from inspiration to limited thinking. And it stops every progress in your life. The reason why the progress stops is because of the mindset. It has nothing to do with the exterior factors in your life and everything to do with your inner convictions.

‘Mobility will require new thoughts that produce unrestricted actions to complete what you started.’

Your inner convictions limit how you see yourself and how you can go beyond where you are. You’re only able to have mobility when you have new thoughts that produce unrestricted actions. Because in order to keep moving past to go to the 10th mile, you have to have a new mindset that takes you into unrestricted, radical actions.

When your mindset changes, it stops you in every area and flows over into all other areas of your life. You can’t show up as God has really intended for you to show up when you have a limited belief system. You have to change your thought and how you look at everything.

You struggle in so many areas because of how you are looking at the situation as you limit yourself with your thoughts. Every area in your life interacts in a system wheel and is affected positively or negatively depending on the mindset that you have. When you change your limited mindset and renew your mind to an unrestricted form you empower yourself with greatness that absolutely nothing can stop you from moving forward.

The scripture says, ‘be transformed by the renewing of your mind,’ and this allows you to see what God sees in you. God has already set a plan for you and He says that you can do anything that you can accomplish, that you can move forward and that you can overcome your obstacles. But you have to change your limited belief and your limited thinking first.

So how do you change your mindset to overcome obstacles?

Change your mindset with inner transformation by renewing your mind. Identify and deal with all the lies that you are allowing yourself to listen to which dictates how you act and behave in your everyday life. Look at your actions, your behavior, and your conversations whenever you’re under pressure and whenever you face an obstacle, for you to know what kind of mindset you have.

Try to understand how you act, what you say, and what you are believing. See the consistency of your thought patterns. When they are not reflecting or echoing the voice or the Word of God about you, your life, or your situation, then you’re listening to lies.

Oftentimes you come into conflict when God speaks to you. And this is because of your own thoughts and beliefs about yourself that you fail to harmonize with how God sees you, thinks of you and believes about you. When God says to you that you are victorious and you start thinking about all the reasons that you’re not, then that is the thought that you’re behaving from all the time. If you change your mindset and you believe in what God says of you then you begin to create victorious moments of your life.

‘With my mouth, I train my heart to believe when I don’t need it so that when I need it my heart teaches my mouth to speak.’

Victorious moments can occur when no matter how great your life is, you keep on training your heart so when you need it you just speak it and your heart will absolutely believe it. When you write down the lies that you’ve been telling yourself and turn them into your truths of who you really are and who you really should be, it stops the negative self-talk and the chatter so you can overcome your obstacles.

You need to realize that the greatest obstacle you have to overcome is to hear the message and see the image of what God wants you to become. And the greatest achievement you can have is your transformation and becoming the image of who God called you to be.

You can achieve so much but you can never go any further and you can never feel fulfilled or walking in your purpose when you do not deal with and overcome your inner obstacles because you will only be doing the same thing over and over again. When you begin with you and put yourself first, then you can go forward in everything.

Do not devalue what God is blessing you with. There are moments in your life that God has showered you with blessings, giving you His best at a season in your life but you cannot see it that way. From this, you create more negative ways and energy in your life by not having a mindset of appreciation.

You will only be able to see at that moment and will not be grateful, and this leads you to become stuck in the cycle. You are making each day the same by complaining about the same things. You have to be in a place of appreciation so that your inner mind can see beyond the day and create a new day.

So, walk in your greatness. Transform your mind, get over your obstacles, see beyond today, and be in radical faith and radical action to bring radical success.
