Following Jesus: Renewing Our Minds

Following Jesus / Week five / Breaking Strongholds – Renewing Our Minds

Take 1-2 minutes to sit in quiet. Still your thoughts and listen for God’s voice.

Read John 10:10, John 8:32, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:17, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Read these out again in a different translation.

What stood out to you from this reading?

What might God be saying to you through what stood out?

With what stood out to you, what is one thing you can do?

Who can you share this with? Or, what is one thing you can share with someone this week?

What can we pray for you?

As an optional activity for your group:

Imagine yourself as a house with many rooms (you may like to draw this on paper or imagine it). Each room represents an aspect of you and your life.

Take some time to familiarize yourself with your house. What does it feel like as you ‘walk’ through it? Where are you comfortable?

Consider each room. What is in it? Is the door open or shut? Locked or unlocked? What kind of lock?

Who do you allow to access each room? Only you, anyone, selected few. What rooms do you prefer to avoid?

Remember that God loves you, made you by His design, and that His truth sets you free. Ask Him which room He would like you to show Him. Talk with God about first step to take that will allow you to move towards unlocking or opening the door.

Share as you are comfortable.

Pray for each other.
