Rejection Homework

These questions are to consider this week and discuss in break out groups...

CONSIDER THIS WEEK
When have I felt abandoned by mom or dad? Spouse? God?

Whose opinion of me do I most value?

Where in my life do I not feel received/that I belong?

When was the last time someone tried to correct me? Was I able to receive it? How’d it go?

How do I define my success? What defines me? (Is it your job? Is it what your parents thought or think of you? Is it what your friends think of you? Is it how well you perform in the workplace? How much money you have? Is it what you think of yourself? Is it what your body looks like?) When you die, will those things continue to define who you are?

Why have I not fully received acceptance of me as God offers it?

Do I really believe I am God’s favorite one?

Rejection Lecture/Mary Senff

Mary did an excellent job tonight walking us through the LORD's words regarding the spirit of rejection, then walked us through a powerful time of receiving healing. Did it bring up any thoughts? Questions? Get talking!

Worship Night Scheduled!

ladies!

We've scheduled a worship and celebration night for Wednesday August 5, after our class ends! It'll be for us (and spouses) as well as the men's strongholds class (which my husband Steven is teaching concurrently with ours) and their spouses, and also for other people in our community who just want to get together and rejoice in God's goodness toward us.

We just don't have the time to worship together like we'd really like to do, so we thought we'd set aside a special night for it. Steven will be leading us in some worship, and is trying to get a band together- I expect the music to be really good!

This is just a heads-up so that people can start marking their calendars, arranging babysitting... all that good stuff!

Let's Talk About Love!

Krissy gave a rousing talk on Unloving tonight.

React!

Accusation Lecture

Dora brought the heat last night on accusation. So... got any questions, comments, revelations, problems, concerns?

Lord of the Rings fan comments are also welcome.

An Observation from Rachel

I've seen a common theme in two breakout groups I've been a part of now. Occult tricks people into thinking that "sure, it's on the occult list, but I don't mean it that way, so it's not harmful" or "I don't really think I have a problem with this stuff, I can control what I think when I see this stuff".

If you find yourself justifying your actions it's a good time to REPENT and leave that junk in the dirt where it belongs. NOTHING is worth letting this creep into your life. No book or movie or TV show is worth my freedom. Stop defending it, get rid of it and move on (really).

Occult Teaching

Sara Argenta and Erin McIntire shared with us tonight regarding the occult, or putting faith in something besides Jesus. Very eye-opening topic.

So, do you have questions about it? Comments? Were there particularly meaningful points you'd like to elaborate on? If so, we'd love to hear it...
