THINGS THAT CAN HINDER US FROM BECOMING ADULTS:
1. AUTHORITY FIGURE THAT DOMINATES AND DESTROYS RATHER THAN EMPOWERING AND DISCIPLINING.
"FATHER, DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO ANGER BY THE WAY YOU TREAT THEM. RATHER, BRING THEM UP WITH THE DISCIPLINE AND INSTRUCTION THAT COMES FROM THE LORD." EPHESIANS 6:4
2. OUR REBELLION AGAINST;FAILURE TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT.
3. NO AUTHORITY FIGURE IN OUR LIFE.
GROWING OLDER IS INEVITABLE. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
*GOD'S GOAL FOR YOU IS TO COME OUT OF CHILDHOOD INTO ADULTHOOD.
WHEN WE FAIL TO GROW UP: SYMPTOMS
INORDINATE NEED FOR APPROVAL
FEAR OF DISAPPROVAL
GUILT
SEXUAL ISSUES
FEAR OF FAILURE(ADULTS GO LEARN/CHILDREN FAIL) FOR ADULTS:FAILURE=PRACTICE.
NEED FOR PERMISSION
LOSS OF POWER
RIGHT OR WRONG VS. DIFFERENT
ANXIETY
