Take the Limits Off! Part 3: The Trap of Fearful Forecasting [Audio Teaching]
When we are damaged, wounded or discouraged in life, fear can easily come in, keeping us from seeing our future through a lens of hope. We become bound to seeing our future through the lens of dread and we forebode, anticipating everything bad that could happen.
Foreboding Defined: a fearful apprehension; a feeling that something bad will happen a dreaded forecast
If we are not careful, we will think this constant foreboding is a form of discernment.
A foreboding spirit is the opposite of hope and faith. God always seeks to cultivate in us a heart that receives his love, holds on to hope and walks it out by faith. A foreboding spirit keeps us locked from stepping into a joyful heart in all circumstances.
Goal of Foreboding Thinking: to keep you bound where you are and steal:
your ability to have joy
to embrace good things with joy (without fear)
to embrace a good future
When good comes its hard to receive it. . . .
Foreboding zaps us from being able to embrace and experience true joy. We become so deeply trained in this stronghold that we think we are living in good discernment. We become moved to think that if we don’t embrace good things and have joy in our circumstances, then we will prevent ourselves from being hurt or disappointed. The longer we live with this, the harder it becomes to embrace joy for our lives.
Are you led more by Murphy’s Law than you are the law of how God thinks?
