Applying the CASm Test Results to your Life
For personal Growth, Healing, and Problem-solving
This can show you how to clearly distinguish and choose better between the (fruitful wellspring) LIFE God is trying to breathe supernaturally into you and any situation, and the (exhausting whirlpool) life that you and that situation are naturally passing on to each other. After you have carefully read and reflected on your test feedback, and after you have studied the Spiritual and Flesh Fruits Flowchart Explained, write out your answers to these questions below.
| To answer the questions raised here, don’t just ask yourself. Ask for the mind and heart of Christ to show you what God sees. |
RELATIONSHIPS – Think of any personal relationships that are draining the life out of you, where you often find yourself feeling guilty, exhausted, numb, trapped, confused, or burned out. Write them down here.
RESPONSIBILITIES – Think of anything you are committed to doing that you are finding difficult, that affect you in the same way. Write them down here.
REALITIES – Think of any situations you find yourself in that affect you the same way (such as financial, religious, political, vocational, career, health, or family situations). Write them down here.
BELIEFS and BEHAVIORS – How you see a situation and how you react to it often affect you more than the situation itself. And whereas you often cannot change the situation very much, you can change your beliefs and behaviors, with help. List here any particular beliefs you have about these problems that make it worse, and any habitual ways of reacting to it or dealing with it that just wear you out all the more (see attitudes in red from your test results and from the flowchart). . . .
GETTING HELP – For a healthier life, bring your lists to discuss with another person you trust, such as a pastor, counselor, friend, or family member. Ask them how they believe and behave in these situations. They can help you change the kind of attention you pay and draw to these things.
