Woman to Woman: Three L’s of DisciplemakingSmakprov

Teach Her to Listen! One of the most important things I can teach someone I’m discipling is to listen to the Lord. I don’t want her to rely on listening to me! She needs to hear God’s voice! The end result of the discipling relationship is not that she looks like me but that she looks more and more like Jesus every day. This is why I always take us to the Scriptures and allow time for her to interact with the Lord directly. I can’t stress how vital it is to dive into God’s Word every time you meet with someone. Teaching people how to hear from God through His Word, to be responders to it and to Him, is so key. We are helping them not to be deceived and to lay a solid foundation for their lives. Even if I’ve taught her a new tool—such as how The Wheel Illustration from The Navigators can help her have a Christ-centered walk—I want her to hear what the Lord wants to say to her about it.
