THIS MY
BROTHER'S KEEPER BIBLE STUDY PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED
SPECIFICALLY FOR CHRISTIAN TEENS.
IF YOU ARE ADULT, YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE MANY CALLED
FEW CHOSEN PROGRAM BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW: |
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST
WELCOME BACK MY FRIEND
I trust you're taking just one step
each day.
If you try and build on top of something before the glue dries,
your project will not turn out very strong. We want it to be perfect!
|
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing. |
Today I have an
exciting new project for you that will help you to set and achieve
goals. Why are goals an important part of REPRESENTING Jesus?
Because Jesus said:
|
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect. |
From what James said at the top of this page, that
patience will make us perfect, and what Jesus said, that we should be
perfect, it sure looks like patience is something that we should all
set as one of our goals!
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST STUDY ON WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST
MEANING WITH WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST MESSAGE
Do you know what motivation is? It's the reason that a person does
something. Jesus is our motivation to set goals. When a lost soul or
troubled Christian looks at
you, they see someone they admire because of your good character, your
good habits, and your good REPRESENTation of Jesus Christ.
You're at a time in your life when you're not only preparing to be an
adult ... To handle the life situations that adults are faced with
every day, but you're also establishing good habits. Habits are things
that are second nature to you ... In other words, you do them almost
without thinking. They are things that you find hard NOT to do. If
you establish GOOD habits, you leave less room for bad habits to
become part of your life.
The name of this project is:
AIM HIGH
Because goals
shouldn't be things that you can do easily. They are things that are
challenging and when you reach them, you should feel like you've
accomplished something great ... So you don't want to aim for the top
of the trees, or even the clouds, but what you really want to do is
AIM HIGH ...
AIM FOR THE STARS!
This new program is a way of showing God your dedication to your
calling. It’s also a way of goal setting. You’ve probably heard many
times that it’s a proven fact that when you write down your goals on
paper, your chances of attaining those goals are much greater than if
you don’t.
Before we get into the program, let's ponder a lil
more about you, and how
God created
YOU in HIS image.
REMEMBER !!!
GOD, JESUS AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT ARE THREE IN ONE WHICH MANY CALL
THE TRINITY
God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy
Spirit
He is one
God, in three Heavenly persons.
|
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in Heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one. |
Now, if YOU
are created in GOD'S image, there must be THREE parts of
you also.
Your soul
Your body
Your spirit
Look
at the three parts of God again and connect them to the three
parts of you.
|
God |
You |
|
God |
Mind/Soul |
|
Jesus/Word |
Flesh/Body |
|
Holy
Spirit/Comforter/Truth |
Feelings/Emotions/Spirit |
Sooooo ... You are
made up into three individual parts yet you are one person. There is
the SOUL, the BODY and the SPIRIT.
The purpose of your
AIM HIGH project is to help you strengthen your mind, body, and
spirit. Just like eating every day to keep up your strength and
nourish your body, you must also take care of the spiritual parts of
you. Let's talk a little bit about how you can strengthen these very
important parts of you, then we'll talk about the goals that you will
set in just a few minutes.
STRENGTHEN YOUR MIND
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST TRUTH ON
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST PURPOSE AND
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST TRAINING
Your mind (the soul) controls your body (flesh) and
your spirit (emotions), so strengthening your mind is a very important
thing to do. Your mind tells your body and your spirit how to act and
how to react to thoughts that your mind has. Sounds strange huh? Well
lemme show you just how NORMAL it is. You are having an absolutely
SON-derful day and suddenly you get a call from your friend who tells
you that a close friend died. Your mind hears this news through the
"ears" and it enters the soul ... You then THINK sad thoughts and
immediately your spirit (emotions) are affected and you FEEL different
than you did 30 seconds earlier. Your body (flesh) changes and you can
feel weak or tears may be created in your eyes. ALL this from one
THOUGHT that entered your mind. It is a natural procedure within
humans. This procedure within us works the same for all thoughts, just
like we learned at the beginning of the program, whether they are
good, bad, happy or sad, what you believe is what you receive.
THINK about this TRUTH.
BUT ... What if we controlled those thoughts that enter our mind
(soul) ...
Wouldn't we then be able to control our spirit (emotions) and our body
(flesh)?
How do you strengthen your mind? With knowledge of
the TRUTH.
NOW JUST HOLD ON HERE A MINUTE ...
IS STRENGTHENING THE MIND ONE OF THOSE NEW WAVE OR
SCIENTIFIC THEORIES?
WHERE DID WE GET THIS IDEA FROM?
THE ANSWER IS
THE BIBLE
Here are some examples ...
STRENGTHEN YOUR BODY
In the AIM HIGH project, you won’t be strengthening
your body physically, but instead, you’ll be strengthening the control
your mind has over the body. Remember that the mind controls the body,
so you’ll be using your mind to strengthen your body also.
Check these out ...
|
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
What? know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are God's. |
|
1 Timothy 4:7-8
Exercise thyself unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth
little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having
promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. |
Did you get that? The
Holy Spirit lives within you, but the Holy Spirit doesn't belong to
you ... You belong to Him!
What about that
second Bible verse ... Physical exercise does little for a person, but
godliness rewards you in all ways! It's in the Bible!
STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRIT
Again ... It's IMPORTANT for you to understand that your spirit is the
part of you that listens and obeys the things that your mind tells it
to feel. Let me explain more ... You have many different emotions.
Happiness, sorrow, anxiety, fear, excitement, love, anger, etc., etc.
Your spirit holds these emotions. You don’t walk around happy all the
time, or angry all the time, or fearful all the time. But your spirit
stores these feelings and when your mind tells your spirit that
something is sad as in the example given before, your spirit says
“gotcha” and you become saddened in your spirit. Many people think
that the spirit and the soul are the same thing, but, the Bible
provided us the TRUTH. Your mind is the soul, and it controls your
spirit. Your spirit is like your control center for your feelings and
emotions.
Your mind and your spirit can cause physical
reactions too. Crying, goose bumps, shaking, laughter as well as other
stuff. All this just from a thought planted in your mind ... These all
happen because your mind told your spirit something and it caused the
physical reaction.
You can control your spirit by changing your
thoughts. All you have to do, is send your spirit the signal for a
different emotion by thinking differently. BUT ... Your mind has to
believe it to be TRUTH.
Have you ever gone out in freezing weather and
didn’t notice how cold it was outside? That’s because your spirit was
busy with another emotion that your mind had sent the order for, and
it was strong enough to keep you from noticing the cold.
Have you ever been thinking of a problem and then
got busy with your daily agenda and all day long you felt this bad
feeling of doom even though the day was going pretty good? That's
because your mind did not resolve the earlier problem and your spirit
is crying out because it is reacting to the problem you were thinking
of earlier. Even though you are not consciously aware of the
thought.
You may think that it’s a difficult thing to do, to
control your emotions, by controlling your thoughts because they’re
very strong, but with the AIM HIGH project, you’ll be strengthening
your mind with TRUTH, and you’ll find that TRUTH has a way of changing
a lot of things.
Later on in the MY BROTHER'S KEEPER program, you’ll
discover a wonderful surprise that will help you with controlling your
thoughts and your spirit.
THE AIM HIGH PROJECT
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST TEST WITH
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST CHALLENGE FOR
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST IMPROVEMENT
You will need to perform this daily, taking one day
off per week for rest, as we are taught to do. (Honor the Sabbath
Day.) This day can be either Saturday (The Jewish Sabbath) or Sunday
(The Lord's day) ... You will need to create 3 charts. Each chart will
fit on a single sheet of lined paper. One chart will be called
Mind
the next Body
and the third Spirit.
For each page, MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT, there are 10 activities per
page which means you make 1 columns for each activity. (We will talk
about the activities in a lil bit.) Be sure to add a column at far left of
page for the date and another column at the far right for the daily
score. This means your page will have 12 columns total.
It may sound
confusing right now, but I'll be showing you a sample chart in a
second and it will all make sense then.
The grading system is
simple ... For each activity that you accomplish, you will give
yourself 10 points. There are a possible 100 points per day. At the
end of each week, add up the six days and divide it by six and that is
your week average. Set goals ... Set a specific reward for yourself if
you achieve your goals. Make your reward something you really want to
do, and something that will encourage you to continue
with your AIM HIGH program and new goals.

You will need to
create three charts like the one above and name each one accordingly
(MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT). There will be different activities on
each page to enhance your Mind Body and Spirit.
Fill in the dates along the left hand column.
Along the top row of each area, you will write in
the activities that you choose to do.
As you complete an activity, you will write a 10
(points) or a YES
in the column underneath it
corresponding with the date.
At the end of each day, total up your points for
each separate area and write the number in the column on the right
where it says “Points.”
For the activities that you don’t accomplish,
write a big red
NO
in the box.
NOTE: You should hate to see the color
RED!
You can also add up the points at the end of the
week and write them in the row at the bottom of each area where it
says “Average” to see your weekly grade.
You can do monthly totals as well if you like. Just
add all totals and divide by the amount of days.
Do not include Sabbaths.
AIM HIGH is flexible, because you can change your
activity topics whenever you want to. If you feel like a certain
activity is too difficult or time consuming to accomplish every day,
you can adjust it, or create a more reasonable activity. You can also
have one activity count for two points, if it takes a long time to
accomplish, so instead of 7 activities, you may only have 6 in one
area.
SUGGESTIONS
I can give you some ideas for activities, but
remember, these are examples only. You will custom design your AIM
HIGH project for your individual needs and goals.
Your AIM HIGH project should be challenging and
enjoyable.
STRENGTHEN YOUR MIND
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST ENHANCEMENT BY
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST STUDIES AND
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST PROGRAMS
Pray 3 times a day.
Read a chapter of the Bible.
Read 5 Psalms.
Read one chapter of Proverbs.
Read a spiritual book for ___ minutes.
Read the Daily Word.
Do a Bible crossword puzzle.
Play a Christian board game.
(You can also include your MY BROTHER'S KEEPER STEPS
too, until you’re finished, or go back through them again if you
like.)
STRENGTHEN YOUR
BODY
Be completely still and quiet with your eyes closed
for ___ minutes.
Break a habit, by only having a certain amount of
candy, soda, etc., per day.
Stop cussin g.
Chores.
Homework.
Do a good deed for someone that takes physical
effort.
Exercise ... Specific exercise programs you create.
Weight loss program.
Hygiene (Brush your teeth at least twice a day, or
something else you tend to forget to do.)
Volunteer for a worthy cause. (A couple of hours on
a Sunday afternoon could give you points for several days or the
entire week depending on how much time you spend.
STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRIT
Listen to some Christian music, concentrating on the
words. I encourage you to listen to spiritual music whenever you can,
but for your points, isolate this activity so you can give it your
full attention.
Spend time alone with the Holy Spirit. (Actually
provide a seat for Him.)
Attend a Bible study or other church function.
(Again, this can cover as many points as you think is fair.)
Sing a hymn - singing comes from the spirit.
Light a candle. (Fire is a symbol of the Holy
Spirit.)
Praising comes from the spirit, too. Spend 5 minutes
praising God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Write a psalm to God.
Again, these are only examples.
I encourage you to replace your activities from time
to time. Not all of them at once, but one or a couple at a time. Give
yourself some variety. Keep it exciting. You should never grow bored
with it. If you do, change the activities that need perking up.
Before any given month is over, you should have your
AIM HIGH chart for the next month made and ready to go. It shows God
your eagerness to succeed for Him, and when your new month begins, you
won’t have to stop and make a chart when you can be starting your
activities.
AIM HIGH is also like a spiritual offering to God.
You are sacrificing your time to give it to HIM. He sacrificed His
only Son’s life for you, now you’re giving Him back a piece of your
life. By strengthening your mind, body, and spirit, it is a way of
glorifying HIM.
The Apostle Paul said:
|
Philippians 3:13-14
I don’t consider
myself to have achieved, but this one thing I do, forgetting the
things in the past, and reaching forward, I strive for the
GOAL,
for the prize of the
CALLING of God in Christ
Jesus. |
FORGET THE PAST,
THINK FORWARD!
AIM HIGH!
REACH FOR THE STARS!
|
STEP #5
To complete this We have the
Mind of Christ step you must CHOOSE to
create your
We have the Mind of Christ Aim High Charts. Come up with the topics for each
chart. Start putting these charts to use. You will begin to
control your thoughts and improve in areas that you placed on
your Aim High charts. You will find that these will help you to
better serve God as to REPRESENT Him.
Continuing in EACH step daily
is so very important.
Go back over each step often to
be sure you have not missed anything.
