1. Encourage one another.
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)
When you hear a confirmed Christian witness, how does it make you feel or think about your relationship with the Lord? Write just a few words describing your reaction. Examples: Terrific; Grateful; I feel like it makes me a stronger believer.

2. The Holy Spirit speaks to us.
“So, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts… But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.’” Hebrews 3:7-8, 13 (NIV) 
List two instances when it took you hours, days or longer to hear what the Holy Spirit was communicating to you? Just write a few words so you will remember. Examples:  Committing to daily prayer; To care more about God’s opinion and less of other people’s opinions; That God had given me favor, etc.

3. The Lord is at work in our lives.
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
List up to ten things changed in you, healings, needs met, answered prayers, miracles witnessed and so on, that the Lord has done. Write just a few words for each. Examples: Relationships with family or others; Freedom from guilt or shame; Freedom from addiction; Handling finances; Behaviors, like driving, viewing or listening habits, etc.

            1.                                                                        6.

            2.                                                                         7.

            3.                                                                         8.

            4.                                                                         9.  

            5.                                                                       10.

4. Make an orderly account of the Lord’s actions.
“Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us… it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account...” Luke 1:1-4
Choose one or two of the topics from question 3, above, and in 50 words or less for each topic, write how you might tell someone that the Lord touched your life, healed or changed you. Examples:
Topic: Finances – God wanted me to be more generous in giving. That forced me to be more fiscally responsible. As a result, three years later, I am giving more and have more money to spend on the important things. And I thank God for it. (43 words)
Topic: Healing – Doctors told me I would never be healed, but I continued to seek and receive prayer, and two years I was healed. The doctors are still amazed and I just thank God for the healing. (35 words)
