Without the proper M.A. our souls will be easily lured away from the plan of God. Our system of thinking must include more than what the world system offers as truth. The believer in Christ must take his relationship with God seriously else no advance will be gained. In the face of any problem you may have, what makes or breaks you is what you think. We never lose when we apply the mind of Christ even if it does not seem to go in our favor.
Divine viewpoint is always the winning side.
Sloppy thinking only gets worse over time. Procrastination often becomes the undoing of a thing. Merely thinking to do a thing but not following through with the thought will not prosper the believer in any way. God has given us the power but it still requires that we make the proper decisions and then act on them. When our emotional response is a result of the filling of the Spirit and a mind filled with metabolized doctrine that is wonderful, but our emotions must have something substantial to respond to.
