Chapter 9

 "Who's Who in the Kingdom."

 STRATEGY

 Read the chapter.  Pray prayers of repentance, thanksgiving and commitment.  Answer the Questions.  Discuss ways in which the material can be "actionized".

ACTION

 Now what?    Personal applications.  Work projects.

 Where am I in light of this material?

 DISCUSSION:

 1. What is meant by the saying, "Christians are the only army that buries its wounded!"

 2. Share examples of  misunderstandings, both  from your own     experiences, and from fiction stories.  Viz. I loaned a friend my shirt.  My wife saw her throw her arms around me and give me an intimate hug, only to discover that she had, in fact, hugged her own husband.  Have people tell about the way they have  been victimized by the sorry suspicion of others.

 3. Discuss the nature of deception. Memorize  John 7:17.  Is it true that "A deceived person never knows when he is deceived."

 4. Have  a  time of personal ministry, private and public, when, by the laying on of holy hands, healing is ministered to people's hurting hearts, minds and emotions - all the hurts of the past - healing for all the unkind things that have been said and done, and perfect healing for all the kind things that should have been said and done, but weren't.
