10. 18. The Vicious Cycle of Stress.

11. 18. The Vicious Cycle of Stress. a. Stress of the soul festers, causing, along with the sin nature, either a split or multi- personality believer. It causes self-fragmentation.

12. 1) Stress in the soul makes two attacks on the believer.

13. a) Destruction of metabolized doctrine in the stream of consciousness, which eventuates into split personality, then reverse process reversionism or degeneracy.

14. b) Having outward disorders such as; compulsive behavior, bipolar, manic depressive, anxiety or panic, post- traumatic stress, or multiple personality disorders, plus many other things.

15. b. Stress amplifies both the arrogance and emotional complex of sins.

16. c. The vicious cycle occurs in three phases.

17. 1) Opens the door for the Old Sin Nature to express itself and to control the life of the believer.

18. 2) The believer is then completely under the control of the Sin Nature, often already in a psychotic or neurotic condition.

19. 3) Overt manifestations of the complexes of sins, the split personality, the various disorders and hysteria reaction to life.

20. d. Believers under the function of the vicious cycle have the same stress factor in the soul as their unbeliever counterparts.

21. e. The believer moves to a state of irrationality, irresponsibility, dissociation, and complete loss of all spiritual values.

25. a. Stress makes you forgetful and impairs your memory. b. It impairs your ability to learn. c. It affects your perception of reality.

26. d. When stress is removed, cognitive ability is restored.

27. e. When the rate of learning exceeds the rate of forgetting, Bible doctrine in the stream of consciousness circulates in its seven compartments.

28. 20. The Faith-Rest Solution to Stress. There are three stages in the use of the faith-rest drill. Heb 4:1-3

29. a. Faith Mechanics: Mixing the promises of God with faith.

30. Faith claims the promises of God.

31. Faith claims the promises of God. Faith applies the promises of God.

32. Faith claims the promises of God. Faith applies the promises of God. Faith takes control of the situation.

33. Faith claims the promises of God. Faith applies the promises of God. Faith takes control of the situation. 2 Cor 5:7, “For we walk by faith and not by sight.”

34. Taking control of the situation demands a position of strength. Tranquility and contentment are a position of strength. 2 Cor 12:10; Phil 4:11-13; 1 Tim 6:8; Heb 13:5-6

35. b. The application of doctrinal rationales to life requires a much stronger faith.

36. The rationales include:

37. The rationales include: The essence of God rationale.

38. The rationales include: The essence of God rationale. The plan of God rationale.

39. The rationales include: The essence of God rationale. The plan of God rationale. The policy of God rationale - grace orientation.

40. The rationales include: The a fortiori rationale - if God can do the greater (salvation), He can do the less.

41. Rom 10:17, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.” 1 Cor 2:16 cf. 1 Cor 2:5.
