Step Tw: (Objective) Knw What It Means fr Yu t Live in the Kingdm f Gd Hw wuld Jesus play the hand yu have been dealt? Hw wuld Jesus re-arrange yur life? What attitudes, ambitins, affectins, agenda, and allegiances des Jesus exhibit that make his chices fr the Kingdm s clear? Step Three: (Barriers) Expse the Barriers That Hinder Christ Being Frmed in Yu What prevents yu frm being mre lving, jyful, peaceful, patient, kind, gd, faithful, gentle and self-cntrlled?
4 Typically barriers ften include: selfishness, selfish ambitin, fear, insecurity, self pity, stress, arrgance, apathy, fatigue, cynicism, thughtlessness, cnflicting pririties (gd nes!), criticalness, pessimism, frustratin, etc. Step Fur: (Chse Disciplines) Put Tgether a Wise Training Regimen Make sure yu are hacking at the rts rather than the fruits (i.e. treat the cause nt the symptms) Brainstrm exercises that will best target yur muscles that need strengthening Fr example: I lse my temper with my children. I ve tried cunting t ten befre reprimanding their behavir with n real transfrmatin in my harshness. Why? I was addressing the symptm. What was the cause? When I really prbe deeper, I find that the cause is my arrgance (I talk harshly t my child because I can. I am bigger, strnger, and mre pwerful). S hw d I address my arrgance? I deply a discipline that helps me have greater respect fr them. S I spend the next week treating my child with same respect I give my bss at wrk. I crrect her just as wuld my bss. My respect muscle grws, my temper begins t appear flish even abminable, and my child and I grw in lve and respect fr ne anther. Vila! Step Five: (Celebratin) Review Yur Prgress and Share it with Fellw Transfrmers At the end f the appinted time f training in a specific discipline; review yur results vs. yur starting pint. Allw the transfrmatin t be a great surce f praise t ur Lrd Revise yur training regimen fr cntinued transfrmatin.
