Title: Ungodly%20Beliefs%20(UGB)%20or%20False%20Beliefs


1
Ungodly Beliefs (UGB)or False Beliefs
  • We behave and live much of our lives according
    to what we believe in our hearts. (As a man
    thinketh) Some of what we believe is true but so
    much is not.
  • Exposing some UGB and replacing them with the
    Truth
  • Equipping you to deal with UGB as they come up in
    your life

Definitions
  • A BELIEF is a conviction, a persuasion, that we
    develop and on which we base our life our
    thoughts, words, decisions and actions. A belief
    is not necessarily based on facts but rather our
    interpretation of facts and experiences that we
    have.
  • A GODLY (or True) BELIEF is a conviction that we
    hold which is in agreement with God -- his word,
    character or nature
  • AN UNGODLY BELIEF Is a conviction that is not in
    accordance with God -- his word, character or his
    nature
  • A BELIEF SYSTEM is a collection of beliefs
    through which we see, experience and interpret
    the world around us. Tends to comprise both godly
    (true) and ungodly beliefs (lies).

Be Transformed by the Renewing of the Mind
  • Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
    world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
    mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
    what Gods will ishis good, pleasing and perfect
    will. - NIV
  • Dont copy the behavior and customs of this
    world, but let God transform you into a new
    person by changing the way you think. Then you
    will know what God wants you to do, and you will
    know how good and pleasing and perfect his will
    really is.- NLT
  • As the Holy Spirit sanctifies our minds our
    belief system will include fewer UGB and more GB
  • The goal is to be transformed into the image of
    Christ, having only GB.

5
We live by what we believe
  • All of us live by what we believe, no matter
    whether it is based upon truth or lies
  • The Truth creates the basis for Godly belief
    systems in our thinking
  • Likewise, Lies create the basis for Ungodly
    belief systems in our lives

6
The Typical Ungodly Belief
  • The typical ungodly belief is one that appears to
    be absolutely true, based on the facts of our
    experience, and yet is absolutely false based on
    Gods word.
  • No one loves me. I am all alone.
  • I am stupid/defective. God doesnt love me.
  • However most UGB are not this absolute, but
    rather a mixture of truth and error.
  • The dangerous UGB is the one that is well hidden
    in our heart and subconscious that we dont think
    about but live our lives from anyway

7
How Are Ungodly Beliefs Formed?
  • UGB originate primarily from three sources
  • The natural or unredeemed mind
  • Family/Culture/Nationality
  • Experiences of hurt
  • Especially strong UGBs are created in our early
    childhood when our spirits are most receptive and
    sensitive as we are being formed

8
UGB from the Natural Mind
  • Rooted in our sinful nature. Our tendency towards
    independence and pride.
  • Looking out for number 1!
  • Captain of my own soul, master of my own destiny
  • Asserting MY rights
  • These beliefs pervade our culture and are
    humanistic in nature.

9
UGB from family/ cultural/ national heritage
  • Families/cultures/nations pass on beliefs about
    almost everything life, politics, religion,
    education and relationships. Families are belief
    shapers.
  • Cultural/racial/national biases
  • Youve got to work hard for everything that you
    get
  • All men are , All women are

10
UGB from Experiences
  • Childhood hurts, traumas and negative experiences
    make a very strong impression on us. E.g. a child
    whose father misses all his ball games, or all
    his birthday parties or is never there when the
    child needs help may form UGB that sound like
    this
  • I am not important because my dad does not have
    time for me or
  • My dad will not be there when I need him
  • More serious UGB can come when a girl is sexually
    abused by an uncle, for example.
  • Things would be better if I had not been born
  • I must have done something wrong
  • I am unworthy of honour and respect.
  • I am damaged goods

11
UGB from Experiences
  • If the foundation of our belief system that is
    laid during our childhood is distorted then our
    life which is built on that foundation will also
    be distorted
  • In addition, the negative experiences that occur
    during adult life can cause additional UGB to
    form or they reinforce the ones we already have.
  • The worse kind of UGB are I am or identity
    statements

12
The Belief Expectation CycleWords
  • Experience leads to the formation of our beliefs.
  • Our beliefs cause us to have certain expectations
    and these expectations govern our
    actions/behavior.
  • Our behavior affects the behavior/responses of
    others.
  • This response then results in the expected
    experience which reinforces our initial belief.
  • We need to appropriate the power of the cross to
    stop the cycle and replace those lies with the
    TRUTH.

4. Dont even try or very lackadaisical attempt
1. Dad repeated said, You will never amount to
anything!
2. I am a failure. I will not succeed
3. I am going to fail so why bother even trying.
14
Results of UGB
  • UGB by definition are unbelief
  • They block our faith in God and the truth of His
    promises.
  • We hinder or shut off Gods ability to bless us
    because
  • without faith it is impossible to please God,
    because anyone who comes to Him must believe that
    He exists and the He rewards those who earnestly
    seek Him. Hebrews 116

15
UGB can undermine our relationship with God
  • UGB can undermine the very basis of any
    meaningful relationship with God.
  • No matter how hard I try, it will not be enough
    to please God
  • God is waiting for me to make a mistake
  • God cares for others more than He cares for me
  • We can end up never fulfilling the plan of God
    for our lives because we succumb to fear based on
    UGB

16
Gods Higher Level of Truth
  • In order for us to be transformed into the image
    of God what is in our minds has to be changed so
    that it lines up with Gods truth, not the
    facts of our experience.
  • First there are the facts. Facts are what
    actually happened.
  • The wreck happened, the person had a disease, the
    business failed, etc.
  • Facts are true, based on our experience in the
    here and now.
  • Gods truth what He says about the situation is
    higher than our reality
  • We are spiritual men and women and we can discern
    spiritual truth based on what God has said. 1 Cor
    214-15

17
Gods Higher Level of Truth
  • Example
  • Apparent fact I was a surprise to my parents and
    I wasnt really wanted.
  • Gods truth He knew me in my mothers womb. He
    planned my life from day one.
  • There is a difference between believing the
    reality of our circumstances and believing Gods
    Eternal Truth. We dont deny the facts we learn
    to interpret those facts through the grid of
    Gods Truth.

18
Writing Ungodly and Godly Beliefs
  • Now that we have an understanding of the dynamics
    of beliefs, how do we replace UGB with GB?
  • Purpose of writing GB
  • To clearly identify what Gods word says about
    any issue so we can align our beliefs with Gods.
    The written GB help us let go of the UGB.

19
Procedure for Writing UGB GB
  • Identify UGB.
  • Fears, worries, anger, resentments, hurts,
    unbelief, doubts, bitterness and blaming are good
    indicators of UGB
  • Write the UGB.
  • Express the UGB as a statement. In approx. two to
    three sentences. Make it clear and crisp to
    emphasize the reality of the belief.
  • Write the GB.
  • A good GB is a statement that agrees with what
    Gods word says is true. We want to express the
    Godly way of looking the core of that UGB. Ask
    Holy Spirit and use scripture to help this
    process.

20
Procedure for Writing UGB GB
  • Fine tune.
  • Make sure that the new GB statement fits you.
  • Include statements such as with Gods help or
    by His grace. This helps us make the transition
    so that the truth does not sound beyond us but is
    attainable.
  • UGB I will always be lonely
  • GB With Gods help, I will begin to reach out to
    others, and also receive from them. He has
    design me to fit into His body.
  • It is important to mediate on the GB everyday for
    the next 30-40 days to renew the mind. It takes
    30-40 days to break old habits and create new
    ones. This is an essential factor in seeing
    lasting freedom in your life.

21
Praying Through UGB
  • 1. Confess the UGB
  • Lord, I confess the sin of believing the lie
    that.
  • 2. Forgive
  • I forgive those who have contributed to my
    forming this UGB. I ask you Lord to forgive me
    for receiving this UGB, for living my life based
    on it and for any way I have judged others
    because of it
  • I receive your forgiveness Lord and on the basis
    of your forgiveness, I choose to forgive myself
    for believing this lie.

22
Praying Through UGB
  • 3. Renounce
  • I renounce and break agreement with this UGB. I
    choose to accept, believe and receive the GB
