This document provides a lesson plan from Majestic Worldwide Ministries on learning from Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The lesson aims to teach participants how to examine their heart before and after prayers are answered, recognize God's sovereignty and trustworthiness over circumstances, and declare God's works prophetically through persistent prayer despite distractions. The background summarizes that Hannah lived during a period of spiritual decline in Israel and prayed fervently for a child despite being barren, which prayer would lead to national change through her son Samuel. The first lesson focuses on how Hannah handled her situation with faith in God's faithfulness rather than bitterness over her condition.

Mary responds with a song of praise to God, known as the Magnificat.

God reveals himself through his word and by speaking directly to believers. There are two main methods for hearing God's voice: rational and spiritual discernment, which requires balancing the left and right sides of the brain. Five factors could impact one's ability to hear God clearly: emotions, spiritual condition, idols, unbelief, and confirming messages match scripture. Believers are called to develop a childlike faith and relationship with God by focusing on his word and living overflowing lives.

It suggests stopping whatever one is doing, looking inward, listening for God's voice, and meditating on Bible promises to gain rest and comfort from God directly. The overall message is that daily meditation can help one's emotions and mind feel less overwhelmed.
Based on Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges, this lesson outlines seven general directions for dealing with sin. While specific sins will be addressed in future lessons, these general directions apply to dealing with any and all sin in our lives.
God's Word provides spiritual sustenance, keeping one attached to the spiritual realm and connected to God.

Reading God's Word can be a source of relaxation, learning about God and spiritual things, guidance, and a boost to one's spirit.
This document discusses how to overcome negative thoughts. It recommends claiming God's word and putting on the full armor of God to stand against the devil's schemes when reminded of flaws.

The overall message is that looking to Jesus and relying on biblical verses can help dispel discouragement from negative thoughts.
1. The document discusses the normal progressive development of a Christian through spiritual growth.
2. It describes surrender as a two-part process - initially deciding to surrender one's will to God's ownership, followed by daily yielding of areas of understanding and behavior to the Holy Spirit's transformation.
3. Spiritual growth is portrayed as a process where God increasingly changes a believer's perspectives to align with His through sanctification and renewal as the believer allows Him to illuminate and alter their understanding.
This document discusses principles for communicating with God through prayer. It notes that God will answer prayers even before they are asked according to Isaiah 65:24.

The document discusses three categories of spiritual gifts: ministry gifts, manifestation gifts, and motivational gifts. It focuses on the motivational gifts, listing the seven gifts (prophet, ministry, teacher, exhorter, giver, ruler, mercy) and providing a brief definition and purpose of each gift.

This document discusses the importance of a pastor maintaining a strong spiritual life through prayer and other spiritual disciplines. It notes that spiritual leaders must rely on God's power, not their own abilities, and prioritize prayer, Bible reading, fasting, and time away. A pastor's spiritual life will be evident in their public prayers, worship, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Maintaining a prayer life is essential for sermon preparation, delivery, and calling people to response. Following spiritual disciplines allows pastors to bear fruit for God and receive rewards in heaven.
This document outlines exercises for soul training presented at a music ministry workers' retreat. It discusses 9 exercises: sleep, silence and awareness of creation, counting blessings, praying Psalm 23, lectio divina, margin, reading the Gospel of John, solitude, and slowing down. The purpose is to draw closer to God through surrender, recharging, gratitude, memorizing scripture, meditative reading, limiting distractions, alone time, and enjoying the present moment. Each exercise is associated with an attribute of God such as rest, goodness, trustworthiness, generosity, love, holiness, self-sacrifice, and transformation.
This book uses the metaphor of fire to illustrate how struggles can refine and transform us through the power of God's spirit. It shows that God wants to use us now, not when our circumstances are perfect. Drawing from the story of the phoenix, the book highlights how God can take the worst situations and bring redemption. It aims to help women discover their unique calling and purpose, which involves transformation through facing hardships with God's guidance.
The document discusses the glory of God and how worship invites His rule through loving blessings and liberating power. It encourages the reader to worship God more to experience His glory, which was originally experienced by man before the Fall. Now, man pursues substitutes for God's glory like reputation, acceptance, possessions and education. True worship is not just a periodic activity but a key to releasing the power of His glory through giving thanks, honoring God's word, and giving the Holy Spirit His place.

This document discusses attunement and empathy. It states that attunement involves being aware, receptive, and empathetic. It suggests that the fall caused human functioning to descend into the brainstem and split in half, disconnecting empathy. Contemplative practice can strengthen the corpus callosum and anterior cingulate, restoring attunement and empathy. The Eden question is "What is my purpose?". The document provides a workshop schedule focusing on restoring attunement and empathy through experientials, scripture, and contemplative practices like lectio divina and prayer.
This document discusses the spectrum of emotions and how energy moves inward or outward from the mind and body. It provides a list of emotions and how they relate to different parts of the brain and behaviors. Strategies are suggested for managing emotions, including using emotional tools from the prefrontal cortex like journaling. Physical strategies are also listed like breathing, hydrating, and exercise to help flush stress toxins and discharge emotions from the limbic system and brain stem.
The document discusses attachment theory and how early childhood experiences with caregivers shape adult relationships and views of God. It promotes viewing God as a safe haven and secure attachment figure to heal from past wounds. The goal is to develop a secure attachment style characterized by seeing oneself and others as loving and worthy with healthy interdependence.
1) The document discusses how thoughts can physically change the brain by strengthening or weakening neural connections. Negative thoughts in particular can cause dendrites to become sparse and thorny.
2) It explains how addictive behaviors like substance abuse or illicit sex flood the brain with dopamine, leading to receptor death and resulting neurological issues like depression, low energy, and difficulty feeling pleasure.
3) The document recommends abstaining from addictive behaviors for 90 days to reset the brain, and practicing lifelong healing through renewing the mind with God's word and staying alert against memory traces trying to resurrect addictions.
The document discusses the repair cycle. It likely outlines the different steps involved in a repair process from identifying an issue, to diagnosing the problem, repairing or replacing parts, and ensuring the repairs address the original problem. The repair cycle aims to restore functionality through systematic assessment and resolution of any technical faults or damage.
The document discusses repairing relationships through attuning central nervous systems. It explains that people originally operated as interconnected "we" systems but fell into operating as disconnected "I" systems. It provides techniques for repairing this, including turning toward each other through senses like eye contact, touch, and shared rhythms. The goal is for couples to function as secure, two-part systems that co-regulate one another's emotions and stress. Addressing deficits like attachment injuries or alexithymia can help partners reconnect physically, psychologically and spiritually.
The document discusses how thoughts can impact physical health. It states that thoughts trigger chemical reactions in the body and influence cellular structure. Positive thoughts like peace and gratitude create an alkaline environment while negative thoughts like anger create an acidic one. Chronic stress from negative thoughts long-term can lead to health issues like arthritis, diabetes and cancer by producing too much cortisol. The document recommends managing stress by living in the present rather than worrying about the past or future, and finding peace through God's word and walking with Christ's presence.
This document discusses anger and strategies for managing it. It notes that anger causes physiological effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure. Anger also affects those around us as human physiology and emotions synchronize. The document recommends managing anger through both mind and body, with exercise to reduce physiological effects and focusing thoughts on God's grace rather than mental rehearsal of violence.
1) Addiction affects the brain both physiologically and spiritually, disrupting its neurochemical balance. Repeated substance use trains the brain to function at a "new normal" set point of tolerance.
2) Recovery requires total abstinence to allow the metabolic and cellular systems regulating addiction in the reptilian brain to heal. It also involves renewing the mind through Bible study and prayer, and renewing life through new relationships and purpose.
3) The ultimate solution is found through Jesus, who said life comes not by physical things alone but by obeying God's word. God's word acts as spiritual nourishment to guide one's steps in recovery.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
