However you feel about the nature of you own teaching ministry, ponder howGod might want you to change or alter your teaching ministry approach based on these truths in this lesson. Much of your ability to learn from the Holy Spirit is dependent on your ability to be open to him, to spend unbroken time in his presence, allowing him to move, lead, and nudge you as you meditate upon the truth. Plan to spend good time this week meditating on your specific role in the teaching ministry of the Church, and think about how and in what way the Lord may want you to connect to these truths in a practical way. Allow the Lord to lead you, and trust him to give you insight in his own way and time. Make sure that you do not leave the class session without making sure you identify some ways in which you can have others pray for you. Make certain, too, that you listen carefully to others as they have shared specific needs which the Holy Spirit brought to them through the course of their study and discussion of this material. Make note of any special issues or questions you may need to talk with your instructor, spiritual leader, or pastor about, and do not hesitate to consult them as you seek answers to any particular concerns or issues. Of course, your instructor is extremely open to walking with you on this, and your church leaders, especially your pastor, may be specially equipped to help you answer any difficult questions arising from your reflection on this study. Be open to God and allow him to lead you as he determines.
