Celebrate Recovery Lesson 13

ADMIT

Principle 4:
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself ,to God and to someone I trust.

"Happy are the pure in heart "
Matthew 5:8

STEP 5:
We admitted to God ,to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

"Therefore confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed "
James 5:16

Why admit our wrongs ?
1.We lose our sense of isolation.
2.We will begin to lose our unwillingness to forgive.
3.We will lose our inflated,false pride.
4.We lose our sense of denial

Three reasons or benefits for admitting all your wrongs and your sins to another are :

1.We gain the healing that the Bible promises!

2.We gain freedom!
"Then they cried to the Lord in their troubles and he rescued them"
Psalm107:13

3.We gain support !
"If we confess our sins ,he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness"
1 John 1:9


LEADER'S FOCUS QUESTION?
What is your biggest fear of sharing your inventory with another person?
What positive changes have happened in your life due to sharing your inventory ?

SERENITY PRAYER

GOD , grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference

Living one day at a time ,
enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
Taking,as Jesus did,this sinful world as it is;
Not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely
happy with You forever in the next .
AMEN
