Week 14-15 Research Activities - Number 2

Weeks 12 and 13: Research Activities Number 1

Try to have a conversation with someone in which you try to get them to do something (i.e. eat a packet of catsup, shave a cat, etc.) that is kind of or really odd in two different scenarios. In the first, you develop a strong argument with 4 or more reasons why they should decide to do what you want. In a second situation, provide only one reason and make it pretty weak (i.e. Give me an A in class even though I have done no work this semester. My cat has been trying to explode my head using its mind.) Tell what happens

I have a client that is real hard on her. This is how the conversation started and ended.

I have a client that is real hard on her. This is how the conversation started and ended.

Counselor: Good morning and how are you?

Client: Life sucks.  I am so fat and ugly.

Counselor: Remember your words set your future.

Client: Oh, I forgot about this.

Counselor: Did you work on your assignments.

Client: I am dumb and my classmates stated that I will never make anything out of my life.

Counselor: Well, we have to go around the mountain again.

Client: You are always talking upbeat and stuff.

Counselor: How would you like to learn how to be more confident in yourself?

Client: I need this because my friends and classmates don’t make me feel good about myself.

I am one of the counselors that work at the Open Door Church. My responsibilities are to get clients to ask Jesus for Salvation.  Clients come to Open Door Church because they are spiritually dead. I try to help them to have fellowship with Jesus Christ through daily pray and reading the Bible. The only way people may feel better if they could get their sins forgiven. The client that I am talking about is trying to grow up. She is a teenager. The only way she may feel better if she request God to redeem her by Jesus Christ. There is power in the name of Jesus. Most of our clients have low self-esteem because what other people spoke over them and what they stated about their self.

Counselor: Do you want your sins forgiven so that you may reconcile with God Almighty. The reason why we are separated from God is because of our sins.

Client: Yes I am afraid of hell. I read the book “Twenty-three Minutes in Hell. I saw the Movie left behind. I don’t want to accept the mark of the beast 666.

Counselor: Well the only way to prevent from going to hell is by requesting Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. We are all sinners, and we need to be filled with God’s Holy Spirit to stop from sinning. The Holy Spirit helps us to obey the Ten Commandments. The reason why people reject Jesus and God Almighty is because they were not born again. The Holy Spirit will help you in life when people cut you down.

Client: What is the Holy Spirit like?

Counselor: The Holy Spirit makes you secure about yourself. The Holy Spirit comforts you. I don’t know how I would be able to make it in life without the Holy Spirit dwelling in me. This is why people lose confidence and give up because they are not saved and they were not born again with the Holy Spirit.

Client: I notice my mother goes through a lot because of mistreatment by other people, and she is able to forgive them.

Counselor: This is true. This is why we celebrate Christmas, because Jesus laid His life down so that we may be reconcile to the Most High God. Jesus loves us so much. God is love.

Client: I remember when my sister was shut in our kitchen by an intruder. My mother forgave the intruder and visited him in jail. My mother also visited the intruder’s home to comfort his wife and children. My mother has the Holy Spirit. I curse a lot and I tip around a couple of times. How can God forgive me?

Counselor: What is tipping around?

Client: Having affairs.

Counselor: I will make another appointment for us to meet next week. When you return back to visit us. I want to hear about you being born again. On your way to heaven and filled with the Holy Spirit. Obtaining forgiveness for sins is free. It is easy to obtain the Holy Spirit. Ask God the Father in the name of Jesus and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is so simple. Remember, we inherit our sins from Adam and Eve, and Jesus is the only one that can save us from our sins.

Client: Thank you and God bless you.

Counselor:  Thank you.
