Get In Line With God's Word

​

When you read this description of powerful whole-body participation and move to get in line with God's Word, your perception will change.  Keep in mind that when your perception changes, your life changes, and when your life changes, your actions, reactions, emotions, and motivations will change.  You get to choose whether these will change in positive ways or decay in negative ways. 

​

One powerful life-changing thing you get to DO is decide what to think about.  Not so easy in this busy world and with a heart that reveals buttons every day that people and situations "push," and our mind sometimes gets confused.  The Life Manual - Scripture - gives us very clear instructions on how to renew our minds and how to think.  Here are the challenges:

​

• The heart trumps the mind!  What?!  What is in your heart overrides what is in your mind.  That's why you get your "buttons pushed."

• Your subconscious believes whatever is in there as truth, even when your mind knows better. 

• This world throws up all kinds of deception and road blocks - news, movies, sign boards, books, magazines, music, government education, lost people, faulty medicine, nasty politics, you name it! 

• The enemy, Satan, is shifty, sly, and persistent.

​

Wow!  So how are you to win the battle and come out the overcomer in this life? 

​

Here is what God says about these quandaries:

• The heart trumps the mind!  Yes, what is in your heart will deceive you and get you to respond in ways your mind is saying not to!  Aaaagh!  (Jeremiah 17:9)  However, we can tell the heart to get in line! Proverbs 4:29.  Do not let your heart control you, however you also do not want to stuff what is in your heart, or . . . it will control you!

• Your subconscious can believe lies.  In other words things that you learned in the past that are incorrect, need to be brought out and corrected.  (2nd Corinthians 10:3-6)

• God tells me to think positive thoughts but stressful situations and people get in the way of that - Philippians 4:6-8.

• The enemy - it's Satan, not the people around you.  He has already been defeated by Jesus in our stead.  Deal with him as God directs.  Ephesians 6:16.

MindRenewing

​

1. Culture a habit of noticing when your buttons have been pushed.  We often just get angry or frustrated and lose it, sometimes asking, "God why?" or saying, "I know better but this just makes me so (angry, or fearful, or sad)." 

2. When you do catch yourself with a button pushed, stop to deal with it. If you cannot stop right then, write it down - jot it in your phone notepad or in a little notebook you may carry with you.  

3. MAKE TIME to deal with it! Go to a private, peaceful place and write down the situation in one sentence (like the title to a small video).  Run the "video" in your mind and make a list of the emotions it brought/brings out.  You can use the Trapped Emotions chart in the Jubilee Options App if you have a hard time finding (or even admitting) what emotions are there.  Rate each emotion from 1 to 10.

4. Use the "Add a Mind Shift" procedure below and repeat if needed until your rating comes down to a 4 or below, even a zero.

5. Replace any negative emotion with a Jubilee Option and use the procedure below until you feel the intensity of the positive reach an 8 or above. 

​

God's creation was woven into the science of our world and it works by default. Just be aware that "default" in this world will often return the struggles you've been trying to get rid of.  Choosing to recognize what is in your heart and what is in your mind (both conscious and subconscious) are vital instructions in the Life Manual.

 

AND . . . it works even better once you've "signed" on by taking the step to believe in what Jesus has done, with your whole heart and mind.  To understand this, check out:
