Self-Sufficiency,
Non-conformity, and
Non-compliance
Thoughts of invincibility and
self-reliance, refusing help and
advice from authority.
After this stage, I began to realize I needed to
rely on God and accept advice and
encouragement from other Christian brothers
and sisters Proverbs 3:5, Romans 12:2).
Feelings
Rejection, Anger, & Bitterness
Feelings of rejection, anger, and
bitterness were stemmed from a conflict
with parents, racism, and Christianity.
These feelings isolated me God and
others but The Word helped me to
understand Gods plan and love for me.
His Word assisted in healing and
overcoming these lies of the enemy (John 3:16, John 15:9-17).
Behavior
Isolation from God, Inappropriate
Relationships, & Destructive (Drug and Alcohol
use
Behavior was unlawful,
destructive, and not in line with
God's Word.
This behavior caused several
adverse issues in my life but
with the Lord's assistance I
was able to change my
thought pattern and
understand my behavior was
not God's will or purpose for
my life (Philippians 4:8, 2
Timothy 1:7).
