Armed with the Sword: Beyond Ourselves

Challenge for the week:

Read: Beyond Ourselves – Chapter 5

Question: Do you believe? What do you believe? In whom do you believe?

For yourself: 1. Are you happy with your life? Write down the good. What do you think needs to change? Write it down. Thank God for the good and bad in your life (He uses everything, so thank Him for it). Give to Him what you want changed. What is your dream for your life? Give your dream to Him. Ask Him to show you what His dream is for you.

For your relationship: Write down all the relationships you have. Write down what is good and bad about each one. Now ask these questions for each one: Who runs this relationship – you or God? Have you given this relationship to God? Is this relationship good or bad for you? Whether good or bad: Give it to God, thank Him for it, and ask Him to heal it, strengthen it or remove it – to use it in your life as He sees fit. Write down if God wants you to pray for anyone.

For your community: When you look at your area, town, province and country, what needs to change? What needs are there that need to be met? List them, ask God what He wants you to do about it, and start by praying about it.
