Receiving a confession part 2

Gleaned from Celebration of Discipline p.154-157

• Already talked about living under the Cross.
  • Nothing someone says can disturb us
  • Frees us from temptation of “Spiritual Domination” (use confession against someone, attempt to control them or straighten them out)
• Keep confidence
• Prepare with prayer.
  • Asking for more of Jesus to shine through us: His love, acceptance, forgiveness…
  • For discernment, how to minister post confession
  • Asking Jesus to stand in-between
  • Pray for them while they share
• Be silent while other shares. (NO offhanded comment to relieve tension, no prying for more information).
• Silence in the room can be a powerful open door for the person to share more.
• In the authority of Jesus announce forgiveness
• Pray out loud with the person. For healing of inner wounds from the sin. Feel free to lay on hands
