How Fear Sneaks In

MELISSA GABLER—(Melissa G.) I’m going to break it down into some real life situations so you can see just how this DDF (Due Diligence Fear) sneaks in.  Here are some examples:
– “This is EXPECTED in this situation, this has to happen…  it’s just life!”

– AGE RELATED ISSUES/DISEASE: by “this age ___” you can expect “this” to go wrong. 

– FAMILY GENETICS: This disease is in our bloodline.

Breaking it down even more.  Due Diligence Fear says:

– “It’s too good to be true” it’s better to err on the side of expecting nothing good to happen so that I won’t be disappointed when it never does.

DON’T LOOK AT IT – YOU’LL SPOOK IT!!! (please tell me I’m not the only one who has thought

this?!)

– “WHAT IF” this particular fear seems to keep you from getting hurt or dying.  I may as well act as IF this thing could happen so I can prevent it from happening. This one’s a real stinker!

DDF happens when something touches a fear buried in our subconscious, a fear never dealt with that lies dormant in the dark.  Once that fear is stimulated it prompts the DDF mode to try and keep that fear from manifesting.  It feels like something I MUST DO to survive!

One of the biggest issues with this kind of fear is thinking it is wisdom.  We must see the difference between wisdom and fear, and how do we do that? By first, and foremost, understanding GOD DOES NOT GIVE US THINGS TO FEAR! We must learn to realize that the issue is fear, and stop concentrating on what the fear is about.


Desires by God

(Simon Purvis) — All the basic desires on the deep inside are put there by God, but we were created for all these subconscious desires to be under the government of God.  What makes these desires evil is that we put them under the charge of self to be fulfilled.  Subconscious self-rule can run our lives even if we are saying otherwise.  Desires from God can become evil if left to self to fulfill. God never intended our character and holiness to be from our conscious decisions.  He intended something to be built down on the inside of us, our inner being, our subconscious, that we would live out of because it is who we are.  It is not trying to be anything, rather, “I just am.”  Under the government of God, we don’t have to try to be happy, we just are.  God did not intend for us to strive through life to make choices to be happy or patient or kind.  All of this was meant to flow out of the subconscious without a thought from the conscious.  He never intended us to live our lives out by thinking about being holy, secure or happy.  Those must come from the subconscious.
