As you are going through that day’s study and prayer pages, Jesus will help you pick up on vital concepts. Jot down relevant questions to see if your friend learned those vital pieces of truths. Your friend may not know how to allow themselves to be examined. They have been trained with self-esteem and self-confidence procedures that often block off any correction, advice, suggestions, or outside help.

Your friend’s esteem, confidence, and believing in themselves may pose a real barrier to the process of learning, growing, and being healed. They will resist you, the Bible, and Jesus, not because they want to be contrary; but, because they are being crushed, by all the information that is pointing out wrong, bad, and maybe even evil things in their life. God esteem and God confidence solves that problem.

Self-esteem and self-confidence may be found in you. Just because you understand the material in Bible Life Counseling, doesn’t mean you don’t need to grow. Jesus will use your Study and Prayer Pages to help you learn things you desperately need training in.

As a student of Bible Life University and Growing: Year Two, Jesus will use your two pages to make you into a better minister and Christian. He will show you important Biblical principles that will help you grow spiritually and grow, as a minister/friend to those around you.

As you are going through The Special Features program, it will help you get the “My Friends Power Growth Record.” It will provide you with instructions, so you can document your progress with each friend, you are ministering to. It is important to print yourself a copy for each individual friend, because their progresss may be different. On the last page of the record sheet, you will find instructions on how to dedicate an internet browser for staying on your next page of study.

Some of your friends will be very competent with browsers and others may fear them. As you expose yourself to both Growing: Year Two and Bible Life Counseling, it will help you be relaxed and helpful with your friend. Your friend will be encouraged to get and print a copy of “My Power Growth Record.”

If you are going through Growing: Year Two and Bible Life Counseling by yourself, so you can familiarize yourself with them, you might print a copy of that record for yourself.

If you aren’t going to be there, when your friend starts their studies, make sure they already know how to access them. You might take the six steps on the last page of their “My Power Growth Record” and see if they can follow the instructions. Let them do their best without your help, as you watch them follow the instructions. Then, if they need assistance, explain the instructions better and see if they can do it on their own. They need to feel comfortable navigating the website.

Be encouraging, relaxed, and patient with your friend. Allow Jesus to help you yield to the Holy Spirit’s fruit of the Spirit: Gal 5:22-23 (NIV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Ask Jesus to help you allow these power-emotions to flow in and through you. The more excited you are, the more your friend will enjoy the study process.
