Public Discipleship as Exercise for the Body of Christ
Ernest Prabhakar, Speaker Domaĝanto: Question Tamer in Esperanto
- Assumptions to Discuss
- A1: Nothing on earth is more important than becoming (loving) like Jesus
- A2: That includes becoming like Him in His sufferings (“drinking from His cup”)
- A3: God as a good Father sometimes asks us, like Jesus, to embrace things we don’t see as good for us.
- Questions to Answer
- Q1: Are we also willing to submit to the Father’s plan, no matter how painful?
- Q2: What is the suffering God might be calling each of us to rejoice in, rather than reject?
- Q3: What is the joy set before us, that would make it all worthwhile?
ShameBreaker Covenant
Standard- God loves me, and has a wonderful plan for my life.
- As I humble myself and turn away from my wicked ways, I position myself to receive the fullness of God’s blessings and favor.
- I confess that I have sinned — against myself, others, and God — to the point where I deserve nothing but condemnation and death.
- Through the cross, I have been born again as God’s child; He blesses me because He wants to, not because I deserve it.
- In order to receive my inheritance, I must confront and overcome the part of myself that wants to remain a slave to the systems of this world.
- In God’s timing, I will respectfully renegotiate my relationship to the people and institutions that were my Egypt, in order to redeem myself and them.
- Going forward, I will boast of my weakness, so that God’s power gets all the credit for my achievements.

Christianity Beyond, Draft 1
StandardBringing Heaven to Earth. One Cross at a Time.
[Update: see my background thinking in Draft 2]
Christianity Beyond is a movement of ordinary people who are learning how to make the same kind of extraordinary impact as the Jesus they love. We honor all the ways people have sought to follow Jesus in the past and present, but dare to go beyond that in order to demonstrate to a watching world just how good and worthy Jesus is.
Twelve Steps to Breakthrough: Free Courts of Heaven Worksheet
StandardOnline Version https://forms.gle/xraVo3KsSSQ5npTV8
Introduction
This worksheet is designed to help you achieve victory over the spiritual and psychological “curses” that prevent you from living the abundant life God intends for you. Specifically, it provides a structured format for us to “come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:6). The idea of making petitions to a heavenly judge is inspired by the idea of literal heavenly courts as taught by Robert Henderson and others, but you can also use it metaphorically as an advanced Twelve Steps program for taking ground in other aspects of your life.
