Alison took the group to Romans 8:1 – 17 and asked what strikes us in that scripture? The mindset to choose and re-route thoughs so that it comes in line withe the HS. Looking at V15 we see a progression from children to heirs to co-heirs and finally to suffering. What does it mean to live in the Spirit? You won’t live in the Spirit until you need to. Up till that point, if you hear what God has to say it will only get in your way.
Alison took a closer look at 1 Corinthians 9:22b I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. The message remains but the package changes. 4 steps to going that way:(1) put shoulder to the wheel (2) join a caravan (3) use telescope vision (4) world view prayer life. Then the next 3 steps apply: (1) Catch the vision (understanding God’s vision for missions (2) Integrate the vision (contemplate, taking risks), (3) Obey/specialize the vision (God said – make the break)
It was interesting that there was a general consensus that God has been stripping people of familiar religious pillars and the few that remain were also very unstable…..correct.
