Ministry Time

How to Remove Ungodly Beliefs?

• Circumstances and Facts Vs God’s Truth • Facts Are True, base on our experience here and now.

– The person did die – The business did close down – The person had a disease – The sin did happen

• But There is a higher level of Truth than the Facts (1 Cor 2:14-16) • But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to

him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.

• To be saved from Ungodly Stronghold of Thinking, we must – Deal with the root cause (SFO, WH, DO) – Replace it with Godly Thinking

How to Write Godly Beliefs

UGB Ministry Step

• Think About What You Are Thinking About • Identify the UGB • Identify the lies UST says about us, others, and God • Identify the root of our UGB( according to the leading of the Holy

Spirit) • Minister any forgiveness, healing, or deliverance where appropriate • Work out a counter godly thinking for each UGB according to what

God’s word says. • Pray and meditate on the godly thinking above daily to renew your

mind

Confess: • Have receiver confess the sin of believing the UGB (lie) rather than the truth and living his life according to this lie.

[If applicable, the ministry receiver should confess the Sins of his Fathers (and mothers) in believing and acting on the same lies.

Forgive: • Have receiver forgive his ancestors (fathers and mothers) that have passed down to him the UGB (if appropriate).

Have receiver forgive all others that may have influenced him to form the UGB. Repent: • Have receiver ask God's forgiveness for living his life based on this UGB. Forgive: • Have receiver forgive himself. Renounce: • Have receiver renounce the UGB and break its power from his life based on the finished work of Christ on the

Cross. (Encourage him to be strong in setting his will and to make a spiritual "decree" to refuse the UGB any more importance in his life.)

Construct: • Present the new GB or work with receiver to construct a new GB. Fine-tune the GB until you and the receiver have

a good "first draft." Receive/Affirm: • Have receiver declare the GB and receive it into his belief system as the replacement for the previously removed

UGB. (Repeat the above steps until you have gone through all of the UGBs list.) Restore: Pray for the receiver's new set of GBs. Pray that God bring to an end the effects of the UGBs in his life. Pray for the GBs to be planted into his heart. Pray that the Word already in his heart will be brought to the surface of his mind and be available for use as a weapon against future, ungodly thoughts. Pray for the discipline needed for him to meditate on his new GBs for at least 30 days. Pray that the Holy Spirit will make him very sensitive to falling back into old thought patterns and that he will be able to take captive any such Thoughts. Pray for new habit patterns of thought to be established.
