  • Create rules

    To the game

    Create boundaries

    Create a safe space

    Create clarity

    We do not serve a God of confusion

    Discernment is not needed

    To determine righteousness

    That is wisdom

    Discernment needed

    Among the multitude of righteous paths

    If you are hiking

    And there is only one path to the peak

    Because of all the cliffs

    And pitfalls of the other paths

    You will be wise to find that one path

    If there are multiple paths to the peak

    You will need to discern

    Risk/reward/energy cost/ energy drain/wisdom of capability/life-giving/ flesh-giving

    If one of the paths require you to jump over a river

    You will be wise to know if you can do it

    Create reminders

    Questioner may not let down the mirror

    Questioner may not let insert self

    Questioner may be creative to ask in different ways

    Questioner intentions must be pure toward Jesus

    Questioner may not judge

    Questioner may not should

    Answerer may not ask clarifying questions

    Answerer must struggle to answer

    Answerer must tame emotions

    Answerer must not leave

    Answerer must participate

    Answerer must endure

    What answer do you seek with the Lord?

    Final initial thought
  • QnA role play

    No name calling

    If there is a dispute

    One person plays the role of questioner (question statements only. Jeopardy)

    For 3 minutes

    Other person plays the role of answerer (no deflecting)

    For 3 minutes

    Scary tools

    Final initial thought
  • My name

    Incoming messaging clear

    Matthew 24:5 NLT
    
    [5] for many will come in my name, claiming, β€˜I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many.

    https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.24.5.NLT

    Many will come in the name of peace

    In the name of joy

    In the name of love

    In the name of kindness

    In the name of self control

    They will deceive many

    It will sound so familiar

    It will almost imitate the holy Spirit

    But if it blatantly keeps the name of Jesus off their tongue

    Do not trust it

    Go back to Jesus' teachings

    Even if they do

    Use caution

    Matthew 7:22 NLT
    
    [22] On judgment day many will say to me, β€˜Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’

    https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.7.22.NLT

    Assemble a trusted core infantry

    A board of elders

    1 Timothy 4:12 ESV
    
    [12] Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

    They do not need to be heavily seasoned

    Just willing

    To invite the holy Spirit

    To speak thru their gift

    Of being a conduit

    Of the Truth

    Chosen ones
