SELF-CONFRONTATION CLASS

The goal of this training program is not to produce "professional" counselors, but to conduct and prepare all believers to disciple/counsel others in a variety of settings. 

The biblical command to disciple includes all aspects of personal ministry to others. As described in Scripture, biblical discipleship involves evangelizing, baptizing, teaching, admonishing, instructing, comforting, encouraging, restoring, strengthening, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting others to follow a biblical pattern of life (based on Matthew 28:19-20; Romans  5:14; II Corinthians 1:4; Galatians 6:1; I Thessalonians 3:2; II Timothy 4:2; Hebrews 10:24). 

Helping someone to face, deal with, and endure even the most serious of problems or circumstances in a manner that pleases God is not a complicated or mysterious process. It is merely a matter of helping him to walk by the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:16-25). When a person is walking by the Holy Spirit, he has complete victory in dealing with and enduring the tests and trials of life. He does not experience sinful anxiety, fear, anger, depression, or any of the other debilitating problems so common today.

Believers must be prepared to provide in-depth biblical discipleship to others within the church, family, work relationships, friendships, and in either organized training ministries or informal settings.
