3. CONFESSION

PROCESS:

3. FIND A TRUTH-TELLER

AS POWER INCREASES -- LESS TRUTH-TELLERS

WHO CAN SPEAK TRUTH IN LOVE

2. FOR HIS BODY, FOR OTHER LIMBS

1. REJOICE IN SUFFERING FOR CHRIST

SUFFERING IS PAIN INTERPRETED AS MEANINGLESS AND DESTRUCTIVE
WITHOUT ATTACHING OUR PAIN, FAILURES TO THE CROSS, THEY REMAIN MEANINGLESS
WE OPEN UP THE DARK MOMENTS FOR GOD TO WORK IN THEM
WE LET GOD TURN OUR SUFFERING, PAIN AND FAILURES IN PURPOSEFUL REDEMPTIVE MOMENT OF WAITING FOR GOD TO ACT
AS A LIMB OF CHRIST, I SUFFER WITH HIM
ALLOWS ME TO LIVE WITH CLEAR, FULL REALITY BEFORE GOD
SUFFERING, DYING AND RISING WITH CHRIST
ANY KIND OF LIFE LIVED WITH GOD

LIMB OF CHRIST

WHAT GOD IS DOING THROUGH JESUS BY THE SPIRIT
TRI-PERSONAL GOD
