Chapter 4: Empowered by God's Spirit

There aren't any "official" discussion questions in the book, just a exercise.

Confession: I haven't read the chapter yet, but when I do, I'll try to post some relevant questions.

In the meantime, just respond to questions raised personally by the chapter or other things that were stirred up.

Chapter 3: Seeing What God Sees

• Share a story about some of the tools you have used to see God's kingdom come in a prayer situation.
• Are there other tools you "earnestly desire"?
• Have you seen God's miracles in the marketplace? If so, explain.

Try the following exercise this week:
-Purpose to pray for anyone God brings across you path.

• Try to focus on the person and not on your doubts and insecurities as you listen to God.
• If no opportunity comes this week, ask again next week.
• Continue until you see something happen in this regard.

Please share about your experience with this exercise.
