What is an Ungodly Belief?
An Ungodly Belief is anything you believe about yourself, God, others, and the world around us, which is not in agreement with God’s Word, His nature, or His character.
Ungodly Beliefs come from the lies we have believed.
We form ungodly beliefs from life’s circumstances, particularly the "hurtful" situations.
We make decisions about people: we judge them, we have expectations about what they are like, and how they will treat us.
We decide what the world is like and how to survive in it.
We can inherit them from our families, and we learn them from our friends and our culture.
We can convert our ungodly beliefs into Godly Beliefs through a process of confession, repentance, and renewing our minds. (Romans 12:2)
The Belief Expectation Cycle
Beliefs are formed out of Experiences.
These Beliefs lead to expectations that similar things will happen to us.
These Expectations of life shape our behavior/reality.
These Behaviors lead to repeated experiences that continue to confirm and reinforce our beliefs.
If our experiences are negative they can lead to Ungodly Beliefs, unrealistic expectations of life, and negative behavior.
When Ungodly Beliefs are replaced with Godly Beliefs the same process leads to Godly expectations of life, and Godly behavior. The cycle then becomes a cycle of life.
