YOUR THOUGHTS
Submitting Your Mind To Jesus Through Faith-Action
Once you have waited on Jesus to speak faith into you for submitting your MIND to Him, you are equipted with the power to BELIEVE you have Jesus’ help in submitting your MIND. After you have had Him check your motives and He has helped you do these things in LOVE, you are ready to start joining Jesus in the practice of submitting your MIND to Him. From that moment on, you must pray that you will remember to consult Him before you make a decision. You will probably have something go wrong and then realize that you forgot to consult Jesus first. Don’t panic, go into guilt, or try to make up your own mind to do it next time. Only The Six Biblical Principles can help you start consulting Jesus before, during, and after a decision.
Learning How To Stay In Touch
1 Th 5:17 (NIV) pray continually. It really isn’t all that hard to include Jesus in your thoughts. Rather than asking yourself or other people what to do, in your MIND you ask Jesus. If you do ask yourself or other people, be sure to check it out with Jesus. When you are trying to make a decision, if you just include Jesus in your question, He will share with you His knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. The problem is getting used to including Jesus’ name in the question. The more you include Jesus in all your thoughts, the more benefits you will get in life. Ideas will pop up in your MIND that are brilliant. The rewards will be so wonderful that it will motivate you to keep asking Jesus what to do.

Once You Get A Brilliant Idea
John 15:5 (NIV) I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man REMAINS in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; APART from Me you can do nothing. When you get a wonderful idea from Jesus, the temptation will be to do it yourself. You may finding yourself thanking Jesus for the wonderful idea and then leaving Him to go do it. Great ideas from Jesus need Jesus to make them work. You need Jesus to give you the idea; and, you need Jesus to empower you to carry it out. If you leave Jesus out of the project, you can get the idea that “maybe you didn’t really hear from Jesus.”
Faith-Action
Submitting your mind to Jesus means that you are living together with Him. You and He are thinking together, planning together, deciding which goals to embrace, and then working together to carry them out. Jesus’ ideas come with power; they give you abilities, skills, talents, and aptitudes that you didn’t have before you got the idea. If you will give Jesus credit for the idea and the power to carry it out, the appreciation, praise, thanks, and worship that will come out of that will cause faith-action come alive in you.
