I Am Using The Three Keys To All Of Christianity
To Submit My Thoughts
I Am Opening Four Doors To God
Mark 12:30 (NIV) Love the Lord your God with all your HEART and with all your SOUL
and with all your MIND and with all your STRENGTH.
I Am Opening My Mind To God
I Am Submitting My Thoughts To Jesus
Jesus, make it clear to me that The Six Biblical Principles and all of my life are dependent on The Three Keys To All Of Christianity. Teach me that if I use the ASK key, the SEEK key, and the KNOCK key to apply The Six Biblical Principles, I will understand that apart from You I can do nothing (John 15:5b). Help me see that the only things that keep me from trying to use human DESIRE, STUDY, PRAYER, BELIEVING, LOVE, and FAITH-ACTION are The Three Keys To All Of Christianity. Teach me that it is when I ASK You to empower me to DESIRE, STUDY, PRAY, BELIEVE, LOVE, and take FAITH-ACTION that I get Your power and provisions.
Jesus, help me know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the DESIRE to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. Help me see that as long as I realize I cannot carry it out (Rom 7:18). I will allow The Three Keys To All Of Christianity help me get Your power to appy The Six Biblical Principles. Teach me that ASK is simply me praying and asking You to help me apply each Biblical principle in The Six Biblical Principles. Make it clear to me that prior to me applying the ASK key, I DO NOT get Your help to fullfill any of The Six Biblical Principles. Because I have a God-given free will, You WILL NOT help me until I apply the ASK key to them and everything else I do.

MY THOUGHTS
The ASK Key
I Have To ASK
Rev 3:20 (NIV) Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me. Jesus, help me understand the correlation between this and the next Scripture. Mat 28:18 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. It can be confusing to me that You have all authority in heaven and on earth but stand at the door of my heart and MIND and knock. Help me see that if I am going to REALLY understand the ASK key, I am going to have to understand my God-given free will.
|
I Have To ASK Because Of My God-Given Free Will
2 Pet 3:9 (NIV) The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not WANTING ANYONE to perish, but EVERYONE to come to repentance. Jesus, make it clear to me that if God will honor my free will to the degree that He will allow me to DECIDE to perish, then He honors it in every way. If it is NOT God’s will for ANYONE to perish and yet He allows them to perish if they want to, then help me see that my God-given free will is completely under my control.
|
I Have To ASK Because I Am Free
John 8:36 (NIV) So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Jesus, deliver me from being a Christian who has no idea how free I am. Teach me that the moment I was born again, I was set free on a level that went beyond my wildest imagination. All of a sudden I became a child of God, a member of His family, and a citizen of His Kingdom and yet, God didn’t take over my life. Help me see the difference of how things were prior to salvation and justification; Satan, the world, and my body pushed me, tempted me, addicted me, and enslaved me. Then all at once, I was born again and I was FREE! Now, I have to ASK for EVERYTHING I get from God. Show me why that is. Show me that it is because I am FREE!

I Have To ASK Because Jesus Is Knocking
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock: Make it clear to me that even though You have all authority in heaven and on earth You are taking me through these studies and prayers and just knocking. You aren’t forcing the information into my MIND; You aren’t using it to take over my life; You aren’t making me submit my MIND to Him. Show me that You are talking to me, reasoning with me, and giving me proof that this is the best way for me to win at life. Help me always see that I have constant and complete freedom to moment by moment, issue by issue make my own decisions or give them to You.

I Have To ASK Because Jesus Is Waiting
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door: Jesus, help me see how much I need to keep ASKING; I can quit these studies and prayers anytime I want; and, I can change my MIND about You anytime I want. Help me NOT go through my day and NOT want to hear Your voice as I make each decision; help me see that I can do that, if I want to. BUT, if I appy the ASK key, show me that I have just OPENED THE DOOR for You to come into that situation and help me with it. Help me make ASKING a part of my lifestyle, so I will be opening every door in my life to You.
|
I Want A Close Relationship With Jesus
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me: Jesus, teach me that my intimate relationship with You is based on me incorporating the ASK key into the moment-by-moment, issue-by-issue activities of my life. Teach me that the ASK key introduces me into the powerful principles of HOW TO GET YOU into every aspect of my heart and MIND. Help me ASK, so You will guide me into all the things I need to do to submit my MIND to You.
