False Burden Bearing - a spirit false responsibility
False Responsibility Definition: Usually, there is false guilt about helping others or covering up your own pain because of the spirit of rejection.
Taking False Responsibility for Others
What exactly is false burden-bearing? False burden-bearing is false responsibility. It is when you cannot release a person or persons to the Lord and will try to make things happen for them. You feel responsible for them, and you will even be their Holy Spirit.
The scripture tell us to bear your brothers burden, it means to join with with them and not become a pack mule. In Galatians 6:1-5 it says:
"1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden."
False burden-bearing is the unloving spirit of not loving yourself. When we become someone's Holy Spirit and feel responsible for them, we don't take care of ourselves. The enemy's trick is to get your eyes off of the Lord and not put your faith in Him. False Burden-Bearing is a false responsibility.
The scripture tells you to bear your brother's burdens. It means joining with them and not becoming a pack mule. You want to come alongside them. So false burden bearing is like pride and it is compensation for rejection and having been rejected and it is what you need to be accepted. You say, 'I have been rejected, and now I am going to take care of others and bear their burden'.
It will consume your thoughts about that person (either their situation or need). A person cannot release them to the Lord and will try to make things happen to them because of False Burden Bearing.
We can pray and release. When they cannot get off their minds, false burden-bearing goes on. Then it has not been released to the Lord. We should be able to pray and release them to the Lord, knowing he cares for them. Then, do the things we need to do with peace. When we are falsely burden-bearing, the Lord cannot come in because the false burden-bearing thing blocks God's movement in our lives. Plus, it steals your peace. It is a very subtle way that the enemy uses on his children. You know when you are falsely burden-bearing and when you are consumed in thought.
That is one area I have to watch in my life. I used to be such a big, false, burden-bearing person. When I get into that thinking, and it has consumed me, and I cannot stop thinking about it, then I know I've gone into sin over it and have to cast down (sometimes cast out) the consuming thought, as Paul said to do in 2 Corinthians 10:5. Then, I'm able to release it much better. If I catch myself doing it and I can give it to the Lord with faith, then I dont' have to cast it out. I've come out of agreement with it. It has not consumed me yet. You see he enemy wants to get our thoughts off of Christ and be burdened with things. also, to steal our peace and be burdened over the situation or event.
Signs of false burden-bearing or false responsibility
Anytime or in any way, you need others and their problems to feel good about yourself. Using others’ needs to meet your needs.
Doing what others should be doing. Rescuing—trying to save them.
Co-dependency—covering up for them.
Boundary trespassing—not watching your own or looking out for theirs.
Meddling—getting into their stuff when it is none of your business.
Being someone else’s Holy Spirit is a means of control and dependency. (Beware of striving to tell someone what to do—you can barely see your own path, let alone theirs!)
Accepting too many responsibilities—not being able to say no. (Love is spelled “NO.”)
If you are driven by fear, frustrated by resentment, or have a martyr or messiah complex when serving others, you could be bearing a false burden.
False burden-bearing coming out of rejection.
Because of rejection, you may need to have people look to you for help so that you will feel affirmed and needed (not rejected) by others. Or, because of rejection, if you don’t know who you are in Christ, you may get your identity out of living through others or controlling them instead of taking care of your responsibilities. Either way, it’s a burden you can reject!
Some people engage in false burden-bearing a lot because if they are consumed by someone else, then it makes them feel important. They have low self-esteem and a spirit of feeling worthless is working in their lives along with other spirits.
We do need to care for others and not be consumed by thought. We need to learn how to cast all our cares to the Lord. When we are not able to do this, we have doubts about the Lord's ability to take care of a particular situation.
What is it really? The Word says in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast our cares to Him because he cares. If you are continually thinking about a person's situation and consumed by it, then it is a lack of trust in the Lord. We need to be doers of the Word by applying God's word. We can pray for friends and family but then release them to the Lord. Know the Lord is going to take care of them. Put them on the altar and leave them there! If you pick them up again, then give it back to the Lord. Learn to trust the Lord in all situations! Some of the diseases coming out of False Burden Bearing:
Hyperthyroidism
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Crohn's disease
- Kyphosis
- Back Pain
- Scoliosis
There are more, but the reason is the oppression produced when falsely burdening another person instead of trusting God. It comes from rejection, trying to find significance through others, and being driven to help others out of fear.
We can be involved with people, but what is the heart issue and real reason? Intercessors, many times, are burdened. When we pray for others, our prayers should be like incense. We pray and release and give it to God and not carry it. It is not our job to carry the burden but to pray and give it to God.
