Celebrate Recovery @ Rafter J Cowboy Church Wednesday, December 9, 2015 – Victory Lesson

Victory Lesson

 

Large group starts at 7 pm (age requirements 15 years and older)
Small groups start at 8 pm (age requirements 18 years or older)
How can you have VICTORY over your defects of character?
 
Principle 5: Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to 
remove my character defects. 
 
Beatitude: Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires. (Matthew 5:6)
 
 
Step 6: We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 
 
Biblical Comparison: Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. (James 4:10)
 
 
Step 7: We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. 
 
Biblical Comparison: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us 
from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
Voluntarily submit
Identify character defects
Change your mind
Turn over character defects
One day at a time
Recovery is a process
You must choose to change
 
 
Focus  Question:
 

What character defect are you going to ask God to remove?  What will you stop doing and what will you start doing? 

 
​

Dear  God, show me Your will in working on my shortcomings. Help me not to resist the changes that You have planned for me.  I need You to “direct my steps.”  Help me stay in today, not get dragged back into the past or lost in the future.  I ask You to give me the power and the wisdom to make the very best I can out of today.  In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN.
