This whole exhaling / inhaling thing has been a bit of a revelation.
My starting point is on the green blue side of the trinitarian compass and with church life. A percieving detached believer who lacks faithfulness and self control, but is totally big on the peace and goodness.
The question of "what is most important?” is either a liberating or a painful one.
The question is from the red side of the cycle. This is the side that represents the Son and all the characteristics of a Servant God as manifested in Jesus Christ.
Abhängig davon, wie die vorhergehenden Phasen verlaufen sind, können Ihre Erfahrungen mit Ihrem Wachstumsprozess extrem unterschiedlich ausfallen. In der Wahrnehmungs-Phase fragen Sie mit intensiver Neugierde: „Was sehe ich?" Seien Sie offen, die Dinge so wahrzunehmen, wie sie nun einmal sind – ob positiv oder negativ. Dies ist die Phase, wo das Aufnehmen von Liebe sich vom Herzen auf den Kopf verlagert, so dass es zu einer zunehmenden Transformation unseres Denkens kommt (Römer 12,2).
Depending on how the previous stages of the cycle have gone, your experience of growing in love will resemble anything from a beautiful, nourishing display of fresh fruit, through to a horrific crime scene, or anything in between. Either way, the Perceive stage asks with an intense curiosity, "What do you see?” This is where the inhale side of the cycle moves from taking love (or the absence of it) to heart, to taking it into your head and allowing it to begin transforming your mind (Romans 12:2).

Questions to ask before you introduce a new song to your church Our Campaign worship cycle team met last Sunday and as a result of us testing our perceptions with one another, we realised that one of the greatest barriers to music helping people to worship God, was the 'singability' of the song. I chose a worship song that Sunday which had great lyrics and a fantastic melody, it was just too high - the key needed to be changed.
