Introduction

 

What Helps With Focus?

The purpose of the Mentor’s Inquiry booklet is to help your friend or a group of friends see what it is Jesus is trying to accomplish in them.  There are two situations where your friend will apply themselves with a little more effort--if they know they are going to be tested or if they are in a life-situation that the information is helping them solve.  Your friend is in a life-situation that Jesus is using these Biblical principles to solve.  But, they may not realize what kind of a solution Jesus is using.  He approaches solutions in a very different way.  These questions help them read and pray with much greater focus being applied to them.

 

What Is Going To Help?

When you get together with your friend or a group of friends, you need to have circled questions you think will help them understand what it is Jesus is wanting them to learn, pray for, and obtain.  If you ask your friends questions about that week’s studies and prayers, it helps them notice and get vital principles that they may have missed.  The objective isn’t to see if they learned anything.  It is to see if they are being helped with their life’s issues.  Do they see Biblical truths that are able to help them be set free from their challenges in life?

 

How Do These Principles Help?

Once a week, you need to meet with your friend or a group of friends and discuss that week’s Biblical principles.  Did they learn important Biblical principles?  Did they see them as principles that could be applied to their life’s situation?  Did they see how the principles could be used in their daily activities?  Did they try to use them on those things they faced that week?  Did the principles make a difference?  Did they apply the principles the correct way?  Did they apply the principles to the right things?  Ask Jesus to help you keep these questions and purposes in front of you all during your time of meeting with them.

 

How Do These Principles Help You?

If you just concentrate on your friend or a group of friends, then you will miss out on an important issue.  The breakthroughs you have experienced in your life are proof that Bible principles work.  As you review the material and go over the questions in this Mentor’s Manual, where do you fit into the subjects?  Do you have areas where these principles would help you with current situations in your life?  Have you applied these principles to your life in the past and received breakthroughs you could share with your friend?  Were there times when you struggled with applying the principles and learned important things about how to apply them?  Get yourself and your life involved in this mentoring process of helping your friend.

 

An Open-Book Test

Make sure your friends have a copy of the Christian’s Inquiry booklet.  If they are aware of what questions they need to be discussing, frequently they will get more out of their studies and prayers.
