****FINAL EXAM INFO****
Your Workout with CPI Trainer on Zoom will include:
a. Start with Prayer.
NOTE: Follow the CPI Guide Script --> which you had approved by NolaJeanne.
b. Be sure to SAY the corresponding Scripture and invite your students to REPEAT the scripture after you.
We've shared this before, but it bears repeating:
What do you say when you teach?
Guide your students into a posture, breathing, Scripture (invite them to repeat after you; add an element of praise in line with the video above, such as “We thank You, Lord, that Your Word says…*scripture*…”)
— Don’t be robotic here – be yourself! You’re thankful for God’s Word already–just let some of your thankfulness show.
Your students will pick up on your genuineness, and it will bless them, letting them know they can enter into praise easily.
Experiment with the "Higher Dimension of Praise." Keep it simple, and it will flow easily for you.
–You are a Leader and a Minister of the Gospel. Your students will follow you. We are “not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for every who believes” (Romans 1:16).
WATCHING HOW NOLAJEANNE TEACHES WILL BE INVALUABLE FOR YOU. She is one of the very best, and her students love her.
–Mention benefits (I like doing this toward the beginning, “This posture is great for…”). Mention contraindications when guiding into a posture (“If your neck is sensitive, look straight ahead instead of up”).
-- Incorporate the revelation regarding praise from the video from Session 3, part 1 about the revelation from Galatians 3:5 and Jeremiah 33:11. For example, for Mt.Zion, "Father, we thank You that Your Word says, 'those who trust in the Lord are like Mt Zion which cannot be moved but abides forever. Ps 125:1.'" See how I prefaced the scripture with a statement of thanksgiving?
Another example for The Eagle, placing the Higher Dimension of Praise at the end of the scripture:
"Those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isa 40:31' - thank You for Your Word, Lord. As I worship You, Your strength is made perfect in me."
See? Easy!
We DO ask you to do the Higher Dimension of Praise for each of the five postures you do DURING YOUR 1-ON-1 ZOOM, but in your class, you wouldn't necessarily do so each time. In class, you will let the Holy Spirit guide you.
Praising the Lord for and in His Word will become second nature to you.
See page 81 of CPI Manual One for wonderful examples showing you how to add additional elements of praise easily!
Push through your comfort zone and past the fear of doing something new and "un-COMFORT-able" - lean on the Comforter, and be willing to *feel* foolish. It looks good on us, no matter how offended our pride, flesh, and minds may be (I speak from experience here).
2. Final Exam on Monday, October 5. You have 24 hours from the time it is sent to complete it. The exam itself MUST be submitted online NO LATER than Tuesday, October 6 (the next day) Tuesday afternoon (Central US time).
It will be a multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and written test that you will take online.
The Exam will be a CLOSED-BOOK TEST.
If you are in a time zone where you don't receive your exam until Tuesday, you would have until Wednesday.
