Activities And Instruction To Make The Most Of Your Prayer Time
There are 5 activities I have found to be most impactful during this time. Review these activities and discern which one you feel most drawn to today. Experiment and see what feels amazing to you…
1. Embrace God’s love: Just be in the presence of God. Imagine being with him in your favorite place or peaceful place. Have no agenda. It’s just about experiencing His love. This can help you accept more love into your life and to understand God’s nature and character at the deepest level.
2. Talk with God: Ask questions about life and learn from God. Have a real conversation. Pretend that it’s easy without questioning your thoughts or responses. If the thoughts lead you to do good and if you feel like the response could very well be something that God would say, then trust that it is from him and move forward. Write it all out. Get all your thoughts and questions out and then listen. God wants to speak to you. He is real and he delights in speaking to his children. (there are a number of prompts you can use on the next page)
3. Be present with your body: Give attention to the physical experience of your body. Allow yourself to be in your body and know that you will not be overcome. You will not die. Allow yourself to move. You may feel the need to stand up, stretch, run around. Allow all of it. Listening to your body is a skill worth practicing. Practice giving yourself comforting movement - hug yourself, hug a pillow, rest your head on your hands, put your hands on your heart, place your hands on your lap with palms face up…notice how these different movements impact your experience and open you up to receiving.
4. Talk with obstacles: Talk with the challenges, obstacles, or feelings that are stopping you from obtaining your ideal. Talk to them as though they are a person. Seek to have compassion upon them and acceptance for them instead of trying to resist them. Seek to understand and be curious about their positive intent. Trust that every part of you that is stopping your progression is actually trying to help you, they are just misguided. Seek to be the Christlike leader of your inner kingdom. What would you say to your best friend if they were experiencing your same challenges?
5. Practice The Method: Scroll down to see the method and utilize the A.I. tool to speed up the process. The most powerful part is you being able to visualize and practice living into your Inherent Identity ahead of time.
Questions & Prompts To Use In Conversation With God...
Take any of these questions and just start writing. Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. If you don’t know what to write, start with the prompt “I don’t know what to write, but….”
Write out everything that’s on your mind and heart. Tell the truth about your experience to God. All progress starts by telling the truth.
Make this a conversation. God is real. He is your Father in Heaven. When you realize that you are his spirit child, talking with him becomes natural and instinctive. It’s easy, and if you don’t think it’s easy…pretend that it’s easy.
I. A.M. M.E. Method
This is a method for identity creation that I wrote a book about (Reclaim Your Inherent Identity). It helps to align your ideals with identity statements that resonate and can transform your habits.
Ideal - What would be ideal for you today? What would you love to have happen? How would you love to show up?
Amplify - What would make your ideal even more grand and amazing? Allow yourself to have some wishful thinking and rephrase your ideals to communicate a “gratitude ahead of time” approach. For example, if your ideal is to be courageous in speaking up today, then you might say “I’m so happy and grateful that I was brave and courageous in speaking up and sharing my thoughts today”
Movement - What is the smallest and simplest action you could take that would make the biggest difference in fulfilling this ideal? (try and receive the answer to this question from your heart rather than using your brain to “figure it out”)
Manifesto/Mantra - What you really want is who you really are. What is the identity statement you can use to communicate the identity that lies behind this ideal? You can structure this statement like this “I am a [identity]. I [simple action from above].” For example, “I am a sugar shunner. I say no to sweets.”
Evoke - Your goal in the evoke section is to visualize and practice spiritually (in your mind and heart) by living into the identity you’ve created. Close your eyes and imagine the scenario where you live out the ideal and perform the action. Practice doing the thing and reminding yourself of your identity. Seek to really engage the senses and feel what it would be like to actually live in that way today.
To make this easy, I created an A.I. Tool where all you have to do is input your ideal and it will fill out the rest of the steps for you. Try it out below...
Engaging In Breakouts
Those who choose to participate in the breakout rooms during the Receive Experience choose to operate from these values:
Love Wins - Be in a space of Loving Presence
Heart Centered Speaking - Give space for silence. Speak from the spirit instead of from the head…notice this because this is a skill that you can take and apply with ALL people in your life
Sharing The Truth Heals - Be willing to share the honest truth about how you feel. Be vulnerable about your fears. No need to share the details of anything, but when you open up about what you are afraid of, people can walk with you in that experience.
Mourn With Those That Mourn - BE with those who share hard things (this is not a place for you to fix the other person, but rather to listen with empathy and compassion)
Bring the Joy - Allow for there to be joy because Christ has overcome ALL things
Optional Questions to spark conversation:
What did you receive today?
Who has God called you to be?
How’s life going for you…really?
What makes you come alive?
Who would you be if you weren’t afraid?
What have you learned about God or yourself lately?
What is keeping you up at night?
What are you afraid of?
What are you working on?
How can I help you?
