Measure Your Spiritual Progress

Cancel. Correct. Cure.

Think of these three words -- or this short phrase -- as a way to measure your spiritual progress.

Your spiritual progress is defined as how closely your character (choices, actions, priorities) conforms to the character, or likeness, of Jesus Christ:
Romans 8:29 - "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."

Now, try using these self evaluation questions.

What is God canceling in my life? What am I directed to release?

What is God correcting in my life?
What priorities and preferences and proportions are in God's revisions of my personality, habits, relationships,  and intentions?

What is God curing in my life? What am I choosing to do - or not do - to keep and grow the new perspectives and purposes God has gifted me with?

Cancel. Correct. Cure.

It's self check time. Look at your results and plan your next steps. It's what disciples do.
