The enemy's first and most foundational strategy is to keep you from knowing who you are and why you are here — because a woman without a sense of divine purpose is far easier to defeat. Let these questions help you name what is at stake.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Priscilla argues that the enemy targets your sense of passion and purpose first — because if he can convince you that your life doesn't matter or that God has no plan for you, every other battle becomes easier for him. Does this ring true in your own experience? When have you felt most purposeless, and what effect did that have on your spiritual life?
2.She draws on Ephesians 2:10 — that we are God's "workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand." What does it mean to you personally that your good works were *prepared beforehand*? Does your daily life reflect that conviction?
3.Priscilla invites readers to consider what unique combination of passions, gifts, experiences, and burdens God has placed in them. Take a moment to name two or three of those things for yourself. How are you currently deploying them — or not deploying them?
a.What has consistently ignited a sense of God-given passion in you over the years?
b.What has the enemy used most effectively to douse that flame?
