THE TYRANNY OF FALSE BELIEFS

****pass out week 1 questions to answer
****Pass out four general beliefs

**What is Christian Counseling? It’s not to make life better, but to make the person better in the midst of life!!!

Larry Crabb-“The basic personal need of each person is to regard himself as a worthwhile human being. “
William Glasser, “Everyone aspires to have a happy, successful, pleasurable belief in himself.”

Most of us whom have read God’s word would agree that I am loved by a loving God. I am chosen. I am saved by grace. I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. I am seated in the heavenlies with the robe of righteousness draped across my shoulders. God has a purpose and a plan for my life. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. (Gal. 2:20) We read the words of 2Corth. 3:17 “Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!!” and want to believe it ……but are you truly free?? Am I?

The moment you trust Christ, many wonderful things happen to you:
All your sins are forgiven: past, present, and future. (Col. 2:13-14)

You become a child of God (John 1:12, Rom. 8:15)

You receive eternal life (John 5:24)

You are delivered from Satan’s domain and transferred into the kingdom of Christ (Col. 1;13)

Christ comes to dwell within you (Col. 1:27 Rev. 3:20)

You become a new creation (2Cor. 5:17)

You are declared righteous by God (2Cor. 5:21)

You enter into a love relationship with God (1John 4:9-11)

You are accepted by God (Col 1:19-22)

Yet, most of us live as if we are still in bondage. (teach LeighAnn R. 4 stages of man)

Robert MCGee- Satan’s lie SELF WORTH=PERFORMANCE + OTHERS’ OPINIONS
He believes there are 4 basic lies humans believe and live out of.

*******First let me teach Self Differentiation by Murray Bowen.

FALSE BELIEFS
1. The Performance Trap
I must meet certain standards to feel good about myself

CONSEQUENCES: The fear of failure; perfectionism; drive to succeed; manipulation of others to achieve success; withdrawal from healthy risks.

GOD’S ANSWER: JUSTIFICATION
Justification means that God not only has forgiven me of my sins but also has granted me the righteousness of Christ. Because of justification, I bear Christ’s righteousness and I am therefore fully pleasing to the Father (Rom. 5;1)

2. Approval Addict
I must be approved by certain others to feel good about myself.

CONSEQUENCES: The fear of rejection; attempts to please others at any cost; overly sensitive to criticism; withdrawal from others to avoid disapproval.

GOD’S ANSWER: RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation means that although I was at one time hostile toward God and alienated from Him, I am now forgiven and have been brought into an intimate relationship with Hi. Consequently, I am totally accepted by God (Co. 1:21-22)

3. The Blame Game
Those who fail (including myself) are unworthy of love and deserve to be punished.

CONSEQUENCES: The fear of punishment; punishing others; blaming others for personal failure, withdrawal from God and other; drive to avoid failure.

GOD’S ANSWER: PROPITIATION
Propitiation means that by His death on the cross Christ satisfied God’s wrath; therefore, I am deeply loved by God (1 John 4: 9-11)

4.Shame
I am what I am. I cannot change. I am hopeless.

.

CONSEQUENCES: Feelings of shame, hopelessness, and inferiority; passivity; loss of creativity; isolation; withdrawal from others.

GOD’S ANSWER: REGENERATION
Regeneration means that I am a new creation in Christ (John 3:3-6)

****Share %’s of the four general beliefs

*****Give Fear of Failure test then the score sheet.
**** Give result of scores
****People share

Effects of fear of failure:

Perfectionism- often if not always, any failure is perceived as a threat to our self- esteem. How many of us focus on the one or two area’s we fail in rather than the places we did well?

The PERFECTIONIST believe that you and /or your environment must be perfect, never make a mistake. There are many negative feelings PERFECTIONISTS internalize.
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of making mistakes.
3. Fear of disapproval
4. All-or-none Thinking- (ex. Student gets all A’s with one B and thinks they are a failure)
5. Overemphasis on “shoulds”.
6.Believing that others are easily successful.

Avoidance of Risks
We have so much potential (in Christ) we’ve never recognized because we want to avoid the risk of failure
(share testimony of me asking Beth Moore’s ? of great things in Bible)

Anger and Resentment
When we fail we often look at someone else to blame. Of the people you are angry with, how many of those individuals are associated with some failure about which you feel bad?

Pride
When we base our self-worth on performance and are successful we often become prideful.

Depression
Depression is generally a result of anger turned inward and/or a deep sense of loss.

Low Motivation
Often this is connected to hopelessness. Why try when I know I will fail?

Search for Significance book moves thru several chapters challenging strongholds of thought and behavior. Then he offers God’s word, TRUTH- JESUS to rewrite who we are and what our value is despite what mean thinks. Read Is. 2:22

The last chapter is called “The Trip In”. Here, McGee, gives a picture of what this process of change looks like.

“For you to correct your thought process is hopeless unless you cooperate with God to release His power in your mind.”

Rom 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this worked, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect”

1. One of the first steps is to identify your emotions or feelings. Men and women alike can be stuck and not know how they FEEL.
****share the Feeling Wheel as a tool.

2. After you’ve identified the emotions next is to talk about them. All intimate relationships require a level of safety to communicate feelings to each other. Often, the counselor is the first person some people have shared deep emotion with.

3. REBT by Albert Ellis. McGee teaches Situation ( Beliefs ( Thoughts ( Emotions ( Actions

Ellis believed a person’s thoughts are central to understanding that person.
He formulated the A-B-C format.
People come in for therapy because of C-consequences . It is common for people to attribute their emotional or behavioral consequences to activation experiences or events= A. The A can be an external event or it can be a person’s won thought or behavior. But, according to Ellis, people are not disturbed by the event themselves, but by the beliefs=B they hole about these events.

He maintains there are 3 main irrational beliefs people hold:
1. I must do well and win approval or else I rate as a rotten person
2. Others must treat me considerately and kindly in precisely the way I want them to treat me; if they don’t , society and the universe should severely blame, damn, and punish them for their inconsiderateness.
3. Conditions under which I live must be arranged so that I get practically all I want comfortably, quickly and easily and get virtually nothing that I don’t want.

Christian Critique: All emotions are founded upon concerns…..emotions are predicated on the individual caring about or having a significant interest in something. We do not have emotions in areas where we have no concerns. However, emotion is an interpretation about a concern or object of value in light of one’s circumstances. Ex. Jealousy with the one you love by your perception and expectation.

McGee: life is distorted by our expectations of what we are going to experience. He teaches that the situations we encounter trigger long-held beliefs in our minds that then trigger false thoughts.

Three Phases
Bondage: In this phase there is a false belief with destructive thoughts and emotions and behavior. We typically blame someone else for your responses.
“I am so angry because of _______________.”

Obedience: We identify these false beliefs; acknowledge destructive thoughts and behaviors with confession and repentance then obedience to the truth.

Freedom : Replace false beliefs with God’s truth. We can not approach this passively but with purpose.
Model: identify, confess, reject, and then replace. Only God’s truth can override what has been a stronghold in our minds. God’s truth produces healthy thoughts = healthy emotions= healthy behavior

**This is a process. It will occur only as we are willing to go to a deeper level in our relationship with Him. We will have struggles and failures along the way. However, the Father does not get tired of being there to bring us to victory. The only question is , “are we willing to go with him”?

LA TIRANÍA DE CREENCIAS FALSAS

**** pasar la primera semana de preguntas para contestar
**** Pase cuatro creencias generales

** ¿Cuál es Consejeria Cristiana? ¡¡No debe hacer la vida mejor, pero hacer la persona mejor en medio de la vida!!!

Larry Crabb-“la necesidad personal básica de cada persona debe considerarse como un ser humano que vale la pena.“

Guillermo Glasser, “Cada uno aspira a tener una creencia feliz, acertada, agradable en él.”

La mayor parte de nosotros que hemos leído la palabra de Dios estarían de acuerdo que soy amado por un cariño Dios. Soy eligido. Soy salvado por la gracia. He sido redimido por la sangre del Cordero. Soy asentado en los cielos con el traje de honradez cubierta a través de mis hombros. Dios tiene un objetivo y un plan para mi vida. He sido crucificado con Cristo y ya no vivo pero Cristo vive en mí. (Gal. 2:20). Leemos las palabras de 2 Corintios.3:17 "Ahora el Señor es el Espíritu y dónde el Espíritu del Señor es, hay libertad!! “

¿¿" y queria creerlo …… pero usted es realmente libre?? ¿Soy yo?

En el momento que usted confía en Cristo, muchas cosas maravillosas le pasa:

Todos sus pecados son perdonados: por delante, presente, y futuro. (Col. 2:13-14)

Usted se hace un niño de Dios (John 1:12, Rom. 8)

Usted recibe la vida eterna (John 5:24)

Usted es librado de la esfera del Satán y transferido en el reino de Cristo (Col. 1:13)

Cristo viene para morar dentro de usted (Coronel 1:27 Rev 3:20)

Usted se hace una nueva creación (2Cor. 5)

Usted es declarado honrado por dios (2Cor. 5)

Usted firma una relación de amor con Dios (1John 4:9-11)

Usted es aceptado por dios (Col 1:19-22)

Aún, la mayor parte de nosotros viven como si estamos todavía en la esclavitud. (enseñe LeighAnn R. 4 etapas de hombre)

La mentira del Satán de Robert MCGee-

MÍ VALOR=REALIZACION + OPINIONES DE LOS OTROS
Él cree que hay 4 mentiras basicas que la gente creen y viven de ellas.

******* Primero déjeme ensenar Mí Diferenciación por Murray Bowen.

FALSA CREENCIAS

1. La Trampa de Interpretacion

Debo encontrar ciertos estándares para sentirme bien sobre mí

CONSECUENCIAS: el miedo de fracaso; perfeccionismo; paseo para tener éxito; manipulación de otros para conseguir éxito; retirada de riesgos sanos.

LA RESPUESTA DE DIOS: JUSTIFICACIÓN

La justificación significa que Dios no sólo me ha perdonado de mis pecados sino también me ha concedido la honradez de Cristo. A causa de la justificación, aguanto la honradez de Cristo y soy por lo tanto totalmente agradable al Padre (Rom. 5: 1)

2. Adicto de aprobación

Debo ser aprobado por ciertos otros para sentirme bien sobre mí.

CONSECUENCIAS: el miedo de rechazo; tentativas de complacer a otros en cualquier coste; demasiado sensible a crítica; retirada de otros para evitar desaprobación.

3. El Juego de Culpa

Aquellos que fallan (incluso mí) son indignos del amor y merecen ser castigados.

CONSECUENCIAS: el miedo de castigo; el castigo de otros; culpando a otros para el fracaso personal, retirada de Dios y otro; paseo para evitar fracaso.

LA RESPUESTA DE DIOS: PROPICIACIÓN

La propiciación significa que por Su muerte en la cruz, Cristo satisfizo la ira de Dios; por lo tanto, soy amado profundamente por dios (1 Juan 4: 9-11)

4. Vergüenza

Soy cual soy. No puedo cambiarme. Soy desesperado.

.
CONSECUENCIAS: Sentimientos de vergüenza, desesperación, e inferioridad; pasividad; pérdida de creatividad; aislamiento; retirada de otros.

LA RESPUESTA DE DIOS: REGENERACIÓN

La regeneración significa que soy una nueva creación en Cristo (Juan 3:3-6)

**** %s de parte de las cuatro creencias generales

**** Dar el Miedo de la prueba de Fracaso entonces la hoja de resultado.
**** Dar el resultado de tanteos
**** La gente comparte

Efectos de miedo del fracaso

Perfeccionismo –

A menudo si no siempre, el fracaso es percibido como una amenaza para nuestra auto-estima. ¿Cuántos de nosotros se concentran en una o dos áreas en que fallamos más bien que los sitios que hicimos bien?

El PERFECCIONISTA cree que usted y / o su ambiente deben ser perfectos, nunca haga un error. Hay muchos sentimientos negativos que las PERFECCIONISTAS internalizan.

1. Miedo de fracaso
2. Miedo de cometer errores.
3. Miedo de desaprobación
4. Pensamiento "todos o ninguno" - (excepto. El estudiante que consigue todo los As con un B y piensa que ellos son un fracaso)
5. Énfasis exagerado en “shoulds”. (Debo)
6. Creer que otros estan fácilmente exitosos.

Evitación de Riesgos

Tenemos tanto potencial (en Cristo) nunca hemos reconocido porque queremos evitar el riesgo del fracaso
¿(compartir el testimonio de mí preguntando a Beth Moore? de grandes cosas en Biblia)

Enojo y Resentimiento

Cuando fallamos a menudo miramos a alguien más para culpar.
¿De la gente con quien usted esta enojado, cuántos de aquellos individuos tienen que ver con un poco de fracaso sobre el cual usted se siente mal?

Orgullo

Cuando basamos nuestra auto-valoración en la interpretación y somos acertados, a menudo nos hacemos orgullosos.

Depresión

La depresión es generalmente un resultado de cólera girada interior y/o un sentido profundo de la pérdida.

Motivación Baja

A menudo este está relacionado con la desesperación.
¿Por qué el intento cuándo sé que fallaré?

La búsqueda para el Significado reserva movimientos a través de varios capítulos fortalezas desafiantes de pensamiento y comportamiento. Entonces él ofrece la palabra de Dios,
VERDAD - JESÚS para volver a escribir a quién somos y lo que nuestro valor es a pesar de lo que medio piensa. Leer Es. 2:22

El último capítulo es llamado "el Viaje". Aquí, McGee, da un cuadro de a qué este proceso del cambio parece.

"Para usted corregir su proceso de pensamiento es desesperado a menos que usted coopere con Dios para liberar Su poder en su mente."

Los Romanos 12:2 "y no son conformados a este trabajó, pero ser transformado por la renovación de su mente que usted puede demostrar cual la voluntad de Dios es, el que está bien y aceptable y perfecto"

1. Uno de los primeros pasos debe identificar sus emociones o sentimientos. Los hombres y las mujeres igualmente pueden ser pegados y no saber como ellos SIENTEN.

**** compartir la Rueda del Sentimiento como un instrumento.

2. Después de que usted se ha identificado las emociones, debe hablar de ellos. Todas las relaciones íntimas requieren que un nivel de seguridad comunique sentimientos el uno al otro. A menudo, el consejero es la primera persona con la que algunas personas han compartido la emoción profunda.

3. REBT por Albert Ellis. McGee enseña Situación (Creencia( Pensamientos( Emociones( Acciones

Ellis creyó que los pensamientos de una persona son centrales al entendimiento de aquella persona.

Él formuló el formato de A B C.

La gente entran para la terapia debido a C-consecuencias. Es común para la gente para atribuir sus consecuencias emocionales o conductas a las experiencias de activación o acontecimientos = A.

El A puede ser un acontecimiento externo o esto puede ser el pensamiento ganado de una persona o el comportamiento. Pero, según Ellis, la gente no son molestadas por los acontecimientos, pero por las creencias=B, ellos agujerean sobre estos acontecimientos.

Él mantiene que hay 3 asimiento de gente de creencias irracionales principales:

1. Yo debo hacer bien y ganar la aprobación o sea taso como una persona putrefacta

2. Los otros deben tratarme consideradamente y amablemente en exactamente el modo que quiero que ellos me traten; si ellos no le hacen, la sociedad y el universo deberían culpar con severidad, condenar, y castigarlos para su desconsiderado.

3. Las condiciones en las cuales vivo deben ser arregladas de modo que yo consigo prácticamente todo que quiero cómodamente, rápidamente y fácilmente y no consigo prácticamente nada que no quiero.

UNA CRITICA CRISTIANA: Todas las emociones son fundadas sobre preocupaciones … .. las emociones son afirmadas en el individuo que se preocupa por o tiene un interés significativo a algo.

No tenemos emociones en áreas donde no tenemos ningunas preocupaciones. Sin embargo, la emoción es una interpretación sobre una preocupación o objeto de valor en la luz de circunstancias de alguien.
Ejemplo. Celos con el que usted ama por su percepción y expectativa.

McGee: la vida es deformada por nuestras expectativas de lo que vamos a experimentar. Él enseña que las situaciones que encontramos provocan creencias de mucho tiempo sostenidas en nuestras mentes que entonces provocan pensamientos falsos.

Tres Fases

Esclavitud: En esta fase hay un error con pensamientos destructivos y emociones y comportamientos. Típicamente culpamos a alguien más para sus respuestas.
“Soy tan enojado debido a _______________.”

Obediencia: identificamos estos errores; reconozca pensamientos destructivos y comportamientos con confesión y arrepentimiento entonces obediencia a la verdad.

Libertad: Sustituya errores por la verdad de Dios. No podemos acercarnos a este pasivamente, pero con el objetivo.

Modelo: identifíquese, admita, rechace, y luego sustituya. Sólo la verdad de Dios puede anular lo que ha sido una fortaleza en nuestras mentes. La verdad de Dios produce pensamientos sanos = emociones sanas = comportamiento sano

** Este es un proceso. Esto ocurrirá sólo cuando queremos ir a un nivel más profundo en nuestra relación con Él. Tendremos luchas y fracasos a lo largo del camino. Sin embargo, el Padre no se hace cansado de estar allí para traernos a la victoria. La única pregunta es, “somos nosotros complaciente a ir con él

The Search for Significance

...Book Written by Robert S. McGee This report is based upon the book The Search for Significance, written by Robert S. McGee. The book publisher is Thomas Nelson, Inc., it’s the 2nd. Edition and was copyrighted in 1990. There are 339 pages and includes The Search for Significance Workbook. This is my first reading of this book and it was chosen because my church started a women’s small group in September that was going to be discussing the Workbook. I had wanted to join the group, and wasn’t able to, thus seeing this book on the required listing for this class thought I would get insight from the book and join the group next year. I also liked the cover which has a man with his hands stretched out and looking to the sky, yielding to God for wisdom and direction for his journey. The cover also states there are over two million copies of this book in print. The author Robert McGee is a professional counselor and lecturer. He founded the Rapha, which is a nationally recognized healthcare organization that provides inpatient and outpatient care for adults and adolescents suffering with psychiatric and substance abuse problems from a Christ centered perspective. As of the writing of the book he was the president of Search Resources. This book provides the principles to understand Satan’s lies concerning one’s self worth, false beliefs and God’s truth regarding the false beliefs. I really enjoyed reading this book.

...Symbolism is a creative way authors choose to describe people, places, or objects in a piece of writing. By using symbolism, an author can give something more significance in a story, and add an extra layer of meaning that wasn’t there before. In “The Great Gatsby” symbolism is used to give a deeper meaning to the story, and by analyzing it the reader can better understand the message it is portraying. F.

Jesus

...Jesus was the son of God. Jesus Christ came to Earth to live among mankind and to teach and minister to us. Jesus provided mankind with the hope of everlasting life and happiness if only we lived by God’s word. Jesus taught us that life was a gift and through his teachings he was able to show us that God only wants the best for us and if we chose to live by his word we will have this. Jesus was sent to live among mankind by God. He was born to the Virgin Mary and to Joseph a carpenter. God knew that if Jesus was born to a virgin it would show that Jesus was pure and truly from God. Joseph didn’t want to marry Mary once he found out she was pregnant, but when God appeared to him in his dreams he knew that Jesus was going to save us from our sins and decided to stay married to her. Once it was time for Jesus to be born, his poor parents could find no place to have the baby and resorted to Jesus being born in the stable. However, this was the best decision because it showed that Jesus came in poverty and with humility so that Jesus could identify with weakest among us. As Jesus grew up, he began to teach to people. His disciples were his primary focus, for they were to carry on his message to those that he could not come in contact with. Jesus had to perform miracles to prove to nonbelievers that there was a God and that God truly had their best interest at heart. These miracles Jesus performed were simple, but were significant. In one of them for example, Jesus came upon a man...
