There is another part of our mental complex that we cannot ignore: the subconscious mind. Once we have repeatedly performed a task, it gets locked into the subconscious and it becomes like an autopilot. This is actually a good thing because it allows us to have a stable personality. However, just like with the conscience, if it is improperly formed, we will continue to perform acts that are contrary to where we want to go in life!
God can require us to be faithful because he designed us to be consistent through the functioning of our subconscious (autopilot). If we can get our subconscious to lock onto the proper behaviors and habits, then we will propel ourselves forward towards our destiny!
Our autopilot will bring whatever is in our conscience to pass! Even if it means passing over what is good and right! Because we have experienced bad relationships, we will continue to find bad relationships or turn good relationships bad. We learned bad employment habits and though we have been through several jobs, we keep jeopardizing them because of our pre-programmed bad behavior. We were raised in families that glorified financial struggle and now you do likewise in your life and are repeating behavior that you learned. Instinctively, you continue a cycle that you really want to break.
This is where our constant hearing of God’s Word and meditation will begin to dislodge all the garbage that we have learned and produce goodness and truth. If we can put good into our conscience, good will come out!
