Eight Recovery Principles based on the
BEATITUDES
-by Pastor Rick Warren |
R= Principle 1 - Realize I'm not
God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong
thing and my life is unmanageable. "Happy are those who know they are
spiritually poor"
E= Principle 2 - Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to
him, and that he has the power to help me recover. "Happy are those who
mourn, for they shall be comforted"
C= Principle 3 - Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to
Christ's care and control. "Happy are the meek"
O= Principle 4 - Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to
myself, and to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. "Happy are the pure
in heart"
V= Principle 5 - Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make
in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. "Happy are
those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires"
E= Principle 6 - Evaluate all my relationships; Offer forgiveness to
those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others except
when to do so would harm them or others. "Happy are the merciful" "Happy are
the peacemakers"
R= Principle 7 - Reserve a daily time with God for self examination,
Bible readings and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and
to gain the power to follow His will.
Y= Principle 8 - Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good
News to others, both by my example and by my words. "Happy are those who are
persecuted because they do what God requires"
