Self Examine... then commit

Practice self-examination…
then commit to another person to share your observations.

Let Jesus Spirit shine light on your most inner nature and trust that more than other people's comments. Tell others what you have observed about yourself and express to them your commitment to get better in these areas.

Saying it or emailing it to someone impels our subconscious to make a contract with ourselves that we are committed to Spiritual growth and excellence.


Self examination is a very strong way to grow spiritually. When we take time to look at our own life, and see what we are doing right... consistent with Jesus Spirit... and what we are doing in rhythm with Spirit, it helps us develop Spiritually. When we see things out of rhythm with Jesus Spirit we need to correct it militantly. We literally declare war on the imperfection we see and destroy it. If we let it go, it will develop, become a strong power in us and even destroy us.

The way to destroy harmful spiritual qualities is to not attack them directly, but focus on the opposite of it and develop the opposite good quality.

The whole key to spiritual growth is truth....
to be honest with our selves and make life-transforming changes.

Businesses commonly conduct employee evaluations. Someone points out what we need to do better, then we work to make these changes. Some make changes. But our human nature is to rebel against this. We may act like we are doing things or acting different, but in most cases this is only a surface change (only to pacify the other person).

It is more effective to point someone a positive direction versus telling them what they are doing wrong. Get them to commit to the right way and the wrong is taken care of in the process. It also keeps the other person's own self value in place, and motivates them more to positive action.

I you feel someone needs to fix something in their lives, use prayer as a way to help them. Visualize with Spirit the image Jesus Spirit would have for them and affirm that in your prayers...ask God to make them that way. See the same greatness in them that God sees in them, as He ideally created them to be.

Let Jesus Spirit do the changing He wants... Allow them to apply self-examination. Then when they voice their personal findings from self-examining, reflecting about their lives, as Jesus Spirit shows them, be their cheerleader to become what they want to be.

We only change what we discover and we choose to change.
...on our own initiative.

Jesus recommended we take time to examine ourselves. Look at our hearts and let Jesus Spirit assist in changing our hearts. In our meditations and prayers, as we see things we want to do differently which more closely reflect what Jesus Spirit is, we begin the process to make that become who we are.

It is good to compare what is working and what isn't.
What is in line with Jesus Spirit and what isn't.
It's not so much about being punished for being out of line as it is about finding happiness, love, joy and being effective. When we are out of sync with the Universe of Spirit, Jesus Spirit, we are out of whack mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Just out of sync with all around us.

Take time to examine yourself, let the light of His Spirit search and show you what needs changed. See what you are doing right. Continue to do more of what helps you do right and change that which is out of whack with Jesus Spirit… Universal System of Spirit.

Then share with another what you are seeing, what you want to change as Jesus Light of Spirit shows you.

Tell a close friend your observations. The ground rule is you do not judge, criticize, condemn when someone shares a desire to change.

As a friend/mate/work associate be understanding, a prayer support, a cheerleader... to love, heal and be compassionate.

Judging others takes out of others their power to change. On the contrary, spending time on examining ones self and being a support to others brings positive change to live, consistently, in Spirit. It stirs up the very Power of Jesus Spirit to work with you.

Focus on fixing yourselve and not fixing others. We will see enough we need to work on in ourselves to keep us busy.

Then everyone will get better and we will see the Power of Spirit emerge in all we do.

The Scriptures makes a reference to come clean with our shortcomings we keep secret. That we should own up to them and share them with others... proving that we really are serious about doing something about them.

If we keep our shortcomings to ourselves, we can constantly get away with not changing things that, in the long term, keep us from getting all we really would like from Jesus Spirit with us.

Be willing to share our shortcomings with someone you can trust. Then someone who shows love, understanding, compassion will help us grow deeper into Jesus Spirit making us much more effective where we want to be.

Now you have encouragement to help you with the problem, shortcoming, limitation.
...Now it is not yours to handle all alone.

There is power in this kind of support as it strengthens all involved.

Again, our place is to love, heal wounds, be a comfort, give compassion and be understanding.

Pray God's best into others,
speak God's best to them
and we all will be the driving force for each other
to Spiritual Greatness.

When you do that, you literally speak a blessing into someone’s life.
You give them the Spiritual boost they need to pump up Jesus Spirit in their lives.

This is a powerful concept for building the tight-knit groups of Supernatural Greatness.
All groups function better
when someone's voice of concern about one’s own life
is strengthened by others around them.

It eliminates the natural tendency for rebellion provoked when others point out our faults. Causing Spiritual power to diminish.

Self examination, committing to others our desire for getting better and seeking assistance for change to a new, stronger person builds the Jesus is Us power cell.

It's a Power-way to group strength, growth and for the Supernatural to prevail in all our relationships.

Being vulnerable in Spirit to each other as a Jesus Spirit Group
builds the Spiritual strength

to make Jesus is Us Supernaturally Great.
