Class Insight to Power Point

Introduction
    Why did you grow so much as a missionary?
-    Love, love for my companions in a different way than I knew was possible. Also loving people I wouldn’t normally like
-    God wanted us to grow. Because we put God first we should be growing just as equally
-    Distractions take away front he eternal perspective and when you are a missionary you only have that focus
-    We had an accountability of growth on our missions To presidents, companions, ward missionaries, God, investigators, members. It’s gone when you come home
-    God is the most important thing so you do what is required. Now you can’t just drop everything.
-    Your success as a missionary is dependent on ability to grow. Now being home your purpose if different
-    Our purpose- it’s easier to fulfill your purpose as a missionary. We need to increase our ability to see what our purpose is now.
-    Easy to stay focused
    Did you find anything on the mission that helped you that can’t be recreated in your life?
-    The authority that we had a missionaries
-    Being assigned to a comp or area without choice
-    Disease of spiritual apathy grabs us- maybe we don’t feel as important, loss of accountability

Real Intent- We had a purpose and we were intent on making it happen.
Accountability- We were accountable to many different people and had to report
Distractions- WE HAD NO DISTRACTIONS, when you get home the distractions were a punch in the face

    How many of you have felt like your growth was stunted in many ways when you came home? WHY?
-    There is a gradual downfall when you come home you always remember your purpose but distraction comes and you slowly let go of the goals that you had before. You can still keep those goals. Organization is key. Diligence is key. Blessing will come.
    What was on the mission that helped you grow that CAN or CAN’T be in your life now?



Group Study

    What is REAL INTENT, in God’s eyes? On the Mission or Not?
    What does ACCOUNTABILITY look like, in God’s yes? On the Mission or Not?
    What are DISTRACTIONS you face? How does God view these distractions in general? How does he view your distractions? On the Mission or Not?

Look up: REAL, INTENT, ACCOUNTABILITY, DISTRACTION in the dictionary, BD, TG, PMG…

Real

  Actually existing- NOT imagined or supposed
  Can be perceived measured or quantified
  having objective existence
  why do we sometimes take our purpose less seriously when we are home?
  Not fate- Authentic
  Real in math =(not) i
  Mental thoughts are not necessarily an indicator that something is real
  must be backed up by tangible actions
  important and deserving to be regarded in a serious way
  Be REAL
  In gospel, should be same as “righteous”
  No justification, No rationalization

Intent

   Power of desire to follow through with that you know you should
   Not in comfort zone - God wants up to grow and stretch
   See a change in persona on a day to day basis
   Governed by our understand of potential outcomes and consequences
   Real intent: Fully stretch out to do what they have committed



Accountability

   Etymology- “Liable to be called out”
   “Return and Report”
   Attitude characterized by being an effective, mindful steward over the resources, assignments, and or people we have and responsibility toward
   Natural product of agency
   understand God’s vision for you and be a co-creator with him to make it up
   does just come at the end of our experience with something but starts from the beginning. Be accountable at the beginning, during and at the end. It is CONTINUOUS.
   Drives you through activities
   Remember who you are FIRST loyal to

Distraction

   Pull away from ________.
   Thoughts that pull us way during prayer
   Pray is how we come to know ourselves
   The inability to identify, attend to, or attain what is valued, even when we are had working or content
   The “easier” option
   Etymology- “To call away the mind”
   Forms or applications of necessary opposition
   splintered focus

Personal Activity/Study

Pull out your life mission and or patriarchal blessing and ponder/answer the following:
    Who are you meant to be?
    What is the Lord making of you?
    What systems of accountability need to be created?
    Where in the Gospel does your REAL Intent need to change?
    What distractions need to be removed so you can live the life you were meant to live? And have the confidence to meet the Lord face to face?


Class Insight
    Choose to do the things that are right
    Importance of recognizing the things that the Lord wants from all of us and what things he has for us INDIVIDUALLY
    Don’t hold on to things that God is trying to smooth out
    Fear and Discouragement can be big distractions- BUT they shouldn’t be excuses for obtaining what is valuable
    Give 100% of yourself to where you are IN the moment… no matter if it’s emails, devotional, busy work, so that you can give time to what is really important. Don’t let distractions get in the way and have time wasted

Invitation
