Romans 7:15-25 has one main message; human effort, world training, or satanic influence will NOT work in living the Victorious Christian Life. BUT, new and untrained Christians have ONLY experienced and learned human effort, world training, and satanic influence. If the new Christian is properly cared for, their life in Romans chapter seven can be short. The mature Christians will allow Jesus to work through them so they can IMMEDIATELY start leading them into the Romans chapter eight life of the Spirit. So, let Jesus show you how to “do what it takes” to submit your emotions to Him.

Jesus is willing and able to help you with your issue with spending. But, the problem you face with getting Jesus’ help WITH ANYTHING is understanding how life with Jesus works. Jesus is teaching you that there are seven major areas where you need His help. You need to submit your emotions to Him, you need to submit your attitudes and character to Him, you need to submit your body to Him, you need to submit your thoughts to Him, you need to submit your choices and decisions to Him, you need to submit your will-power to Him, and you need to submit your life to Him. SO, since you need submission training in these seven areas, Jesus wants to help you understand how to have a successful relationship with Him.

1. DESIRE: You have to learn that Jesus honors your God-given free will all the time; He will only do what you DESIRE Him to do. You must DESIRE to submit your emotions to Jesus. So, pray and ask Jesus to help you WANT to submit your emotions to Him.


2. STUDY: The next thing you need to understand is, He will only use Bible principles you are familiar with; if you haven’t STUDIED and learned a Bible principle, He won’t use it. You must STUDY and learn how to submit your emotions to Jesus; which is what you are doing now.


3. PRAY: Another thing you need to know is, He won’t help you with anything you don’t PRAY and ask Him to help you with; you have to pray and invite Him into helping your submit your emotions to Him.


4. BELIEVE: After that, you have to learn how to wait for Him to give you the faith you need so you can BELIEVE and be sure He HAS given you His power to submit your emotions to Him. So, now it is time for you to fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Heb 12:2). Once you can know and feel that Jesus has given you the power to submit your emotions to Him, you are ready to move on.


5. LOVE: Then you have to do EVERYTHING based on God’s LOVE. If you try to get Jesus to help you with submitting your emotions for selfish reasons that are only beneficial to you, He won’t do it. Pray and ask Jesus to empower you to be willing to share your breakthroughs, as you start submitting your emotions to Him.


6. FAITH-ACTION: Finally, you have to ACTUALLY do it, if you know how to submit your emotions to Jesus, understand what it means to submit your emotions to Jesus, and know how to apply submitting your emotions to Jesus to your life but you don’t do it, you will fail; you must take FAITH-ACTION.

Once you start living on the basis of The Six Biblical Principles, you will start experiencing a greater degree of Jesus’ power-relationship. This power-relationship with Jesus will help your yield to the emotions of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the Holy Spirit’s power-emotions that Jesus is wanting to put in you. They are what He wants you to submit to so you will have emotions that empower you to live The Victorious Christian Life.

Gal 5:22-23 (NIV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. A little peach tree doesn’t have to DESIRE to bear peaches because it doesn’t have a God-given free will. But, it does have to absorb nutrients and water from the soil, power from the sun, and carbon dioxide from the air. And, it is going to need someone to protect it from diseases and bugs. If it does get all these things in proper proportions, at the proper time it will bear peaches BECAUSE IT IS A PEACH TREE.

Desire, study, pray, believe, love, and take faith-action are The Six Biblical Principles that you need in proper proportions. 1 Cor 6:19 (NIV) Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own. Since the Holy Spirit is in you, if you get all your spiritual needs met, you will bear the fruit of the Spirit. These emotions will flow out of you because they are in you. If you pray and ask God to empower you with the Holy Spirit’s desire, empower you to study the Bible, empower you to pray to God, empower you to believe you have what you have been praying for, empower you to love others enough to share your breakthroughs with others, and empower you to take faith-action, that will be your next step into submitting your emotions to Jesus.

If you start your day with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, you will be able to face problems and difficulties with great power. If you are depressed, discouraged, frustrated, angry, upset, or feeling hopeless, you will face even your good days with weakness and inadequacies. The power-emotions of the Holy Spirit not only help you in eternity, they help you succeed now.

A peach tree doesn’t have to do special things to produce peaches; it produces peaches because it is a peach tree. You don’t have to do anything special to produce the fruit of the Spirit, you just have to yield to them. You are a child of God, you CAN allow them to flow in through you naturally. But, because you have a God-given free will, as a Christian, you can resist them. You have the God-given right to yield to depression, discouragement, hatred, frustration, anger, fear, doubt, and helplessness. You don’t have to automatically produce the fruit of the Spirit, you can CHOOSE to submit to other emotions.

The POTENTIAL for producing the fruit of the Spirit is already in you. But, as you go through your day, you can face an issue and decide to submit to the fruit of the Spirit; or, you can submit to negative emotions.

1. When you pray and ask Jesus to give you the DESIRE to submit to the fruit of the Spirit, He is empowering you to resist negative emotions and yield to the fruit of the Spirit naturally.


2. The more you STUDY the Bible, the more you learn how to allow the fruit of the Spirit to flow naturally through you.


3. The more you PRAY and ask Jesus to help you yield to the fruit of the Spirit, the more you are empowered to keep negative feelings out.


4. The more you fix your eyes on Jesus for faith that you already have the fruit of the Spirit in you, the more you BELIEVE you can just submit to them.


5. The more you yield to LOVE, the more you share the truths about the fruit of the Spirit with others.


6. The more you take FAITH-ACTION, the more you automatically yield to the fruit of the Spirit moment by moment and issue by issue.

You are going to be exposed to The Six Biblical Principles all through these courses. As you get more skill in using them, you can do an even better job of exposing your emotions to Jesus and yielding to the fruit of the Spirit. Since this is your first Submission Course, you will be a little bit unsure, confused, and limited in your experiences with The Six Biblical Principles. But, just keep moving forward and you will get empowered to use them with supernatural power and skill.
