The Me I Want to Be


Young Adult's Cell group material July 2011- current
Your Life is God's project, not yours.
The Me I want to be, not should be.
  1. Finding my Identity
    • Learn why God Made you
    • The Me I don't want to be
  2. Flowing with the spirit
    • Discover the flow
    • Find out how you grow
    • Surrender
    • Try Softer
  3. Renewing my Mind
    • Let your desires Lead you to God
      • not should but want. ought can be used in two ways. one way gives life- you ought to see the world, take a break,taste this cake.
      • use your authentic desires to taste and see that the Lord is good.
      • Material, achievement,relational, physical. all can be used for the glory of God.
    • Think Great Thoughts
      • Mind is where the transformation starts
      • take captive every thought.
      • setting your mind is like setting a thermostat. you dont get rid of negative thoughts by telling yourself not to think of them but you replace them by listening to the right voice. 'voice of truth'
    • Feed your Mind with Excellence
      • whatever is true, noble,right,pure,lovely,admirable, praise worthy, think about such things.what is lovely to you? sunset, creation, music etc
      • no source like the bible. curiousity, active mind, expectancy, like when you watch a movie, try memorising and then act on it.
    • Never Worry Alone
      • Let love cast out fear
      • take action to face your fear- when we really place ourselves in the flow of the Spirit's peace is when we say On Bely to God. renewal of your mind and experience, you learn to trust.
  4. Redeeming my Time
    • Let your talking flow into Praying
      • if you believe in God, you have already begun to pray- to enter into a dialogue with him because believing in God means believing he is always present, always listening to what you say.
      • talk to God about everything, not what we think we Should.
    • Temptation: How Not to Get Hooked
      • ask for help
      • remind myself of my deepest values
      • monitor my soul satisfaction, if we do not find soul satisfaction in God, we will look for it somewhere else. do not be discouraged
    • Recognise Your Primary Flow Blocker
      • signature sins, temptation starts close to home with the passions and desires taht God wired into us and tries to pull them a few degrees off course. 
      • knowing our signature pattern tells us what we need to be most fully spiritually alive.
    • When You Find Yourself out of the Flow, Jump Back In. '
      • invite the spirit to examine your soul,
      • repentence is understanding that being worth so much to God is why my response is important. repentence is always done in teh gracious promise of forgiveness
  5. Deepening my relationships
    • Try going off the Deep End with God
    • Make life giving relationships a top priority
    • Be Human
    • Find a Few Difficult People to help You Grow
  6. Transforming my experience
    • Let God flow in Your work
    • Let Your Work Honor God
    • You have to Go through Exile before You Come Back Home
  7. Flowing from here on out
    • Ask for a Mountain
  • Learn why God Made You
  • The Me I Don't Want To be
