Do you find that every time you turn on the news or log into social media your emotions go into a tail spin? You start thinking, "How am I supposed to react to all this?" ... "How is this going to affect/effect my life?" ... "What happens now?"
It is easy to get caught up in all the drama of the world, but that is not the way Christians are to respond to what the world is doing.
The Bible tells us that as believers we are to keep our feeling and emotions in check with the Word of God if we are to have victory over a circumstance. It’s no wonder “Victory” has been such a challenge.When we let what we see override our faith in God’s promises, it cancels out the favor He has sent forward for our triumph. It’s actually “unspiritual” to let our feelings get out of control, and as if we don’t belong to the Lord at all but are ordinary men/women.
“You are still worldly (controlled by ordinary impulses, the sinful capacity). For as long as there is jealousy and strife and discord among you, are you not unspiritual, and are you not walking like ordinary men (unchanged by faith)?” (1 Corinthians 3:3 AMP)
Negative feelings open the door for defeat and will lead us to places we never want to go. “Feelings” will always be there, but Godly wisdom will help us decide not to follow that path.
Recently Hubby hurt his left arm, and I began examining his right arm to see if there was a bruise or something to verify his complaint. As soon as I heard my husband say, “It’s the other arm” it reaffirmed what God was revealing to me.
So often we are fixated on the “other arm” so to speak. We focus on the wrong side of the situation and only see what the devil wants us to see, which triggers fear and negative feelings.
You can have victory over emotions or feelings!
Faith has to disregard what the eye sees and focus on what the heart believes about the Word of God. Every time I do that the Lord reminds me that “My grace (my unmerited favor and mercy) is sufficient (more than enough) for you (in any situation).
My grace is sufficient and so is my favor on the situation. Say it like this: My Favor is sufficient …” (from 2 Corinthians 12:9)
Until next time, Favored Blessings
