Please God: Cultivate The Mind Of Christ

                 PLEASE GOD BY CULTIVATING THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST

In order to please God we must strip off our old, fleshly, carnal personality and replaced it with the Fruit of God's Spirit, The Armor of God, and The Mind Of Jesus Christ. We then become the Image of Jesus Christ and God will readily answer our prayers and concerns. He will fully bless us. This article will help us cultivate the mind of Jesus Christ.

We can ask God in prayer to help us cultivate the Spirit Mind Of Jesus Christ:

Father God Yahweh, In The Name And Blood Of Your Son Jesus Christ And In The Presence And Power Of The Holy Ghost, I Ask That You Help Me Totally Elimate My Carnal Way Of Dealing With Life And To Replace These Ways With The  Peace Of God. Please Fill Me With The Holy Ghost, It's Fruit, The Armor Of God, The Mind Of Jesus Christ And Total Confidence And Courage In God's Love And His Ability To Save And Do All Things, (ANYTHING). Please Change, Transform, Renew My Mind ( Will, Thoughts, My Imaginations, My Intellect, My Reasonings, My Sense Of Righteousness And Justice, My Attitude, My Reactions To Life's Concerns, My Goals, My Hopes, My Anti Sociablism, My Thuggism, My Likes, Dislikes And Anything That Opposes Your Will For Me. Please Change It, Transform It And Please Daily Renew It To The Mind Of Jesus Christ, The Fruit Of God's Spirit, The Armor Of God And The Full Will Of God, Dear Lord). I Ask This Prayer In The Blessed Name Of Jesus Christ, His Precious Blood, And In The Word Of God. Amen.

Hbr 11:6 But Without Faith [it Is] Impossible To Please [him]: For He That Cometh To God Must Believe That He Is, And [that] He Is A Rewarder (DELIVERER) Of Them That Diligently Seek Him.

You Diligently Seek God By

Doing The Things God Wants Me To Do

 The Way He Wants Me To Do Them (IN The Spirit And Not Carnal) 

Then God Will Be My Sheild, Buckler And Defense System (THE Wall) Against Evil.

Obey God

See God As Being Right There With You.

Believing That God Will Never Fail You No Matter What Is Going On Around You

Never Accuse God Of Inability Or ApathyRealize That It Is Your Failure To Deal With Situations In The Spirit (FRUIT, Armor, Mind) That May Cause God Not To Remove Attacks From You

Learn About God 

Do The Things He Commands And

Do The Things He Commands You And Do Them The Way He Commands You To Do Them

7 Continuous Prayers

8 Supplications In The SpiritWhen You Learn To Pray To God In The Spirit (MIND, Fruit, Armor) Then You Will Pray Seeking God's Will And Not Your Own Wants Or Concerns. Jesus Overcame His Flesh (PLEASE Pass This Cup) And Submitted To The Spirit (NOT My Will But Yours).

9 (TONGUES) Gifts Of The Spirit 

10 Diligent Concern For The Saints

11 And Praying For The Saints 

Peace Of God-A Strong And Established "CALM" Which Is Determined To Honor, Obey, Praise, Grow With Worship, And Sing To God (HONORING Him Exuberantly) No Matter What Is Occurring. This "PEACE" Is Totally Faith In God That No Matter What Is Going, God Will Be Ever Faithful To Those Who Are In Harmony With His Will And Spirit Family. 

We have the Heavenly Hope because of the Mind Of Christ (John 3:16; Philipians 2:7). Let's examine the Mind Of Jesus Christ:

The Mind Of Jesus Christ

1) Did Not Think That His Position Excused Him From A) Humility, B) Service, C) Sacrifice And D) Suffering 

2) Served Other People For A) Spiritual Change And B) Salvation (KINGDOM Of God) 

3) Loved Others 

4) Put God's Righteousness First 

5) Suffered All The Way To Death For God's Righteousness

Once we have stripped off our old, fleshly, carnal personality and replaced it with the Fruit of God's Spirit, The Armor of God, and The Mind Of Jesus Christ we will be the Image of Christ and God will readily answer our prayers and concerns. He will fully bless us.
