I n the book. Pastor as a person. By Gary. Harbaugh. Page 23. “Erikson says that our first years of life have great significance for our subsequent development. The key is the kind of relationship that existed between us and our mother (or mother surrogate). Our mother represented the “world.” According to Erikson, what goes on between the infant and the mother is that the self finds out how much he or she can trust the world. It is critical for future growth that the infant come out of the first year with more trust in the world than mistrust.” In these pages, what Erikson is doing is showing how the pastor’s philosophy is formed from childhood. Therefore, a pastor has to do extensive remodeling to his or her concepts, mindset, and a daily basis. In addition, having a good mission statement in place and stick to it.

No Back Up Come Back Plan:

I heard pastors told believers to: "Burn the bridges" However, burning the bridges, does not work in any situation. This gives the believers the concepts of walking sexually straight from the start to the end, once you so-call fornicate, there is no come back. Because of this concept we have a host of people who think he or she has backslidden, we call these "secret backsliders" However he or she did not throw away the faith, they only come short, or violate certain basic church teaching.

There Are Many Reasons Why A Believer Walk Away:

Heb 11:36  And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: Heb 11:37  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; Heb 11:38  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in the mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 

Christians Took Unnecessary Beating:

When the believers taken too many punches: When I say punches, I am talking about abuses, which we took thinking it was the will of God for us to take. Many of us do not understand what is forgiveness, so we took back people in our lives, people who we should not even be talking to, company with, visit or eat with. We made a wicked family members use forgiveness doctrine and come right back in, into our bank account, and into our home. Then these woken up and kill us in the nights. I have enemies who come and beg my food only to go and throw it in the garbage. He did not have any needs, he she only wants to make sure that they deplete my resources, so I can fall into hard times. This is how much they hate God and his people. If you failed to know this, you will be ruined.

1Ch_16:21  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Psa_105:14  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

3Jn_1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 1Ti 2:1  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  1Ti 2:2  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1Ti 2:3  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 

Christians Do Not Have The Correct Concepts Of Forgivness:

Because we do not have the correct concepts of forgiveness, we took back people in our lives which should not be there in the first place. I have seen men come into women's lives just to get close to the women underage daughters, destroys their lives, then coming in preaching forgiveness, and wanting to be taken back in, into their homes, into their life, what's left of it, and into their confidence, when deep down in the heart we know these men does not change, and cannot change. The children are still traumatized, and he does not care to give them healing time. That is why Christians get hurt. We mixed up the English version of forgiveness, with the Bible, and Greek versions of forgiveness. The English version of forgiveness is to forget what you have done, and take you back and reinstate you into your original position, so you can get the chance to finish the wicked work which you have started. Our bible does not go all the way with our English dictionary. The New Testament of our bible, is coming from the creek. Forgiveness from the Biblical point of view, is talking about, not wanting revenge, and will leave all vengeance to God, who will repay. But it does not mean to take you back into my house, because I am already traumatized by what you have done to me. I need time for healing of my emotions.

Rom_12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Lev_19:18  Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

Psa_59:15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

Jas_5:9  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

If we read into the scriptures what is not there and what it is not saying, we are going to hurt ourselves. Forgiveness from a biblical prospective mean I am not going to take revenge. This is a lot to ask a person after you have burnt their houses and destroys their food, cultivations and plantations because of envy. I additions: destroys their good name. Much more to take you back into her houses. People are destroying your life and come preaching and demanding forgiveness.

Watch those who came back saying they get saved now so forgive them. This is the most dangerous lying spirit of a demon. He meets Jesus, he found Jesus, I want to know if Jesus was lost. He came back from prison save, saying he met Jesus, Jesus must have lived in prison.

New Christians Set Sin Boundry Which Entrapped Them:

Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zec 4:7  Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 

Is It Possible To Get Rid Of The Vile Body?

Php 3:20  For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Php 3:21  Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 

1Jn 1:8  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 

2Co 12:7  And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.  2Co 12:8  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.  2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  We Failed To

After The Sins Entrapped Them, They Start To Beat Their Fellow Christians:

Backsliding Christians have a way to take it out on other believers that they saw shining. They became a stumbling block. All the people that must support me they buy them out, and turn everybody in my corner into a snake.

Luke 12:45  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;  Luke 12:46  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 

Failed To practice Binding And loosing:

Job 22:27  Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Job 22:28  Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 

Mat_18:18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Some Christians think binding and loosing is witchcraft, or voodoo. One white guy broken my son foot, and due to the circumcised it happen in, we forgave him and never press any charge at all, then we heard that he says he broken a Negro foot, and get away with it. I send a message to him and told him that before the month over his foot will be broken, the same foot at the same spot, before the month was over his foot was broken at the same spot and the same foot.

You Do Not Have To Take What Sinners Dish Out To You:

Act 13:8  But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.  Act 13:9  Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, Act 13:10  And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Act 13:11  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 

Luke 18:7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?  Luke 18:8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
