The social contract that people bring to the table
 
Four Types of Social Contracts That Are Unhealthy

1. People who do not want help, but rather legitimacy from having a therapist.
   1. They say or imply with their actions, “I am legitimate because I have a therapist”.
2. Denial: Called by G-d and working through denial.
3. BEWARE People who have a problem already diagnosed.
   1. They run their whole psych profile through with you.
   2. The trap you run into is when you work on what they want you to work on, it is not going to work. Then you get the blame because the problem was not fixed.
   3. “I have been to another therapist and they could not get it.”
   4. Some of these individuals are allergic to responsibility.
   5. They may have critters.
   6. Ask them if they are open to you doing your own diagnostics.
   7. Many times, people of Asian descent can have that issue, because of the dragon, and they want to boil everything down to Leviathan.
   8. Negotiate for right to rediagnose. Negotiate for the opportunity to run you own set of objective diagnostics.  What if the issue is somewhere else?
   9. You will have to ask them for the right to look somewhere else.
   10. And honestly, this will boil down to Yes or No.
       1. If they are willing, move forward.
       2. If they are unwilling, there is room for little else.
   11. The Religious spirit. Boiling G-d down to a formula. They say something like, “I checked the boxes, and G-d, you are responsible to meet me”.   They are convicted that therapy or the way forward is supposed to look like one particular way, when there may be a different path that is better for the partnership of clinician and client.
       1. If they will entertain a discussion of G-d having multiple options for His agenda, then you can move forward.
       2. When they have a baked-in commitment that G-d has to meet me this way, then there is an issue.
       3. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is a solid example of someone who did not have a baked-in commitment that G-d had to meet them in a particular way. If we are willing to run with the conviction that G-d’s care for us may take any number of different forms, and we are willing to walk in flexibility with how G-d meets our needs or brings good out of a bad situation, and thus leave the solution up to Him, we run a high risk of having a really neat glory story.
       4. If it begins with the presupposition that they have to get to peace, or calm, or [fill in the blank], when G-d might want to grow a number of other areas, even if such growth results is a more messy SEASON, then we need to wait on working with them.

 
See if someone came in under one of those four frames.
 
Looking at Robert’s individual.

1. Progress that has been lost.
2. No progress at all.

Sometimes we get temporary progress that gets lost.
Robert has authority to push the enemy back.
It also says that the critters have protection.
 
 
Covenant with an Organization that leads to others paying taxes. Moabites and Ammonites.
 
Look at Psalm 106 as a point of reference for discerning whether a Covenant with an Organization is present.
 
The spine is the firstfruits.
Damage along the spine through structures, that protect covenants, that protect critters along the spine.
