ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER INFO
During the fast it is good to be accountable to another believer. This person can be your prayer partner or someone else whom you feel comfortable sharing your particular struggles with.
1. Accountability Partners should have an Accountability Check at least once a week.
2. You should give your accountability partner a list of questions to ask you during that meeting.
Reason: You know yourself the best. You know your own struggles. Bite the bullet and write the list.
Example: Did you stick to the Starving For Jesus Bible reading schedule this week?
Example: Did you look at porn, masturbate or read erotica this week? If, so how did you get to that place?
Example: How have you been dealing with those ill feelings toward
3. It is crucial that everything that is said in an accountability meeting stays in that accountability meeting. Trust between accountability partners is crucial.
4. HONESTY IS KEY TO DELIVERANCE/PURIFICATION.
THE WORD: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claimed we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. 1 John 1:8-10
It is important to be honest with your Accountability Partner and tell the truth.
THE LORD WILL BREAK ALL THE CHAINS...IF WE LET HIM!
Deut 8:2 "Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD."
ReplyDeleteThe Lord pursues us and He in facts WANTS us to be hungry in order to eat the bread of life, the manna from heaven, CHRIST. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled”!!! That’s why the Spirit call us to fast and God desires it! To realize we don’t live off of bread and the things of this world but off of Christ, to hunger for Him and want more of what truly brings life.
