Chapter 5 · Section Two, Destiny

Realms, Not Destinations

You're not traveling to a destination. You're crossing into a realm.

The question this chapter asks

Which realm are you living in right now, and which one is next?

Practice

20 minutes

Two realms

Describe the realm you are living in now in five plain sentences, then the realm next door in five more. Underline the one sentence about the next realm that you most want to be true.

For the group

Which realm are you living in, Self, Family, Community, or Kingdom? Which one is next? Go around and say it. Then ask: does anyone see it differently for someone else in the group?

For the leader

The second question is the risky one. It works only if trust is already building. Skip it in Weeks 1 and 2.

If your group prays together

I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
