Want to take your group's prayer lives to a new level of intimacy? The Questions for Jesus Group Guide lets you facilitate a revolutionary course based on the book Questions for Jesus that will have participants engaging in profound conversational prayer around their deepest desires in eight weeks. As one participant said, "To know He delighted over me and my life never occurred to me to the degree it does now. It has set me free to love him and love people without fear." Praying your desire is about asking Jesus questions and hearing him answer immediately in ways that fill your deepest desires. Throughout life our hearts get attached to things, roles and people because they (imperfectly) fill our yearnings for love, security, significance, goodness, peace, justice-our desires. But these longings were designed to be filled in relationship with God. Praying your desire is asking Jesus to fill those desires with himself. The technique is simple, and no type of prayer gets a quicker answer. You pick a desire, (like significance) and ask Jesus a question about it: "Jesus, how is my life significant to you?" Then you listen for a minute, and write down or share whatever you heard, saw, sensed, or what came into your heart. This is course with an expectation that you will actually experience Jesus speaking intimately to each person, both during the sessions and throughout the week. The Questions for Jesus Group Guideprovides facilitators' notes for eight 75-minute sessions, with complete outlines, handouts and a downloadable PowerPoint presentation. A typical session features testimonies from the group, a short video teaching, time to practice asking Jesus questions, and a brief, daily meditation for during the week. The videos are available for free on-line or in a high res version on the Questions for Jesus DVDs (sold separately). The Guide also contains extras like a course schedule, promotional copy for announcements, optional activations, outlines for teams to continue meeting beyond the end of the course, and more. "Last night at our church... after praying for a young lady going through divorce, I stopped and suggested to her that she ask Jesus this question: 'Jesus, what about me is special to you tonight?' After about 30 seconds, she kind of laughed and cried at the same time: 'All of me, ' she said, 'is special to him.' Questions for Jesus really helps give people walking, living and breathing truth and joy. Thanks for introducing this radical new way of talking and listening. Jesus is so personable!"
