Building a Kingdom Tribe
"As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another."
Proverbs 17:17
Love as Jesus loves us. With our brethren, build a Kingdom tribe to fellowship with other believers. Go where you are challenged to grow. Go where iron sharpens iron. Building a tribe of like-minded Christians is one of the KEY pillars to remaining Kingdom-Minded.
If you can’t build a tribe, find a Christian Mentor, who is mature in the Lord, and Same-Sex.
If you can’t find a Christian mentor, find a like-minded accountability partner, same sex.
As I have grown, I have learned the critical necessity of having a strong Christian support network. I had no true Christian support network for most of my life. I had plenty of condemnation in hopes to guilt me out of sin, but no real gentle loving support on how to actually pick up my cross and follow Christ.
I want to tell YOU, the reader, exactly how to decipher if the Word you receive is from God, or not. So that YOU can have all the blessings that Our Lord and Savior has for your life. Are you ready?

“Search me O God
And know my every thought
Discern my every way
And speak into my soul
Point out to me my wrongs
Convict me until
I follow down the path
That leads me to your will”
"Grace That Is Greater" by Building 429

Think about what moved you in this section. Or perhaps something you learned or want to know more about. What are some practical things you can ask God for in your prayers to Him?
Possible things to pray for (in case you need ideas!).
- Help with praying for forgiveness
- Help with forgiving myself and others quickly
- Guidance on what to pray for
- Wisdom to ask God to take gentle care of me, as he will do nothing unless we ask
Note of caution: don’t pray for these opportunities all at once. Going slow is recommended, especially if you are healing from a hurt. In this case, ask God to take it slow with the opportunities, so you can ramp up to the one he created you to be, in such a time as this.
