A Transparent Presence - Enneagram 5

Created to Awaken, Called to Abide Series

---

AWAKEN -- I am strong for God affirmed my being as His heir (ADOPTED)

ASK -- Who am I when I challenge traditional beliefs, have cynical arguments and/or feel drained and lack engagement?  Why do these thoughts and actions rear their heads? What untruths are revealed? What want hides under the surface? (security). How does greed act as a counterfeit response? 

The Israelites struggled with similar temptations in the wilderness, with the lessons of Manna, (God’s provision), relying on their own analysis (LOGIC) over (RELATIONAL TRUST) God provided Manna daily (DEPENDENCE) yet they still wanted to store extra (SCARCITY, HOARD) for themselves. Despite this miraculous supply of manna the Israelites complained (CYNICISM) and wanted to return (DISENGAGE) back to Egypt. - Numbers 11 (TRANSPARENT)  

TRUTH

ALIGN -- Where intimacy replaces self-mastery. (I am accepting)

I am enough, (I am held), I do enough, (I am complete), I am more than enough. (I am deeply loved, I am heard)                                                  

I respond with a renewed open mind. (I loosen the pull to detach, I am brave)

SACRED POWER

ADORE -- Where God is Omniscient

 I accept God’s bountiful abundance

I allow God’s promised provision

I admire God’s divine wisdom

BLESSED

ABIDE -- Where “Christ in me” truly satisfies (PRESENCE)                          

Who I am becoming… (day by day) Brilliantly CONNECTED!

 PS.139 2-4,6 - "You understand my thought from afar... and are intimately acquainted with all my ways... Behold, O Lord, You know it all... Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high I cannot attain it."
