Don’t Let Your Feelings Control You

‘Carefully guard your thoughts.' Proverbs 4:23 CEV

When it comes to everyday living, you can walk according to the unchanging principles of God's Word or by your constantly changing feelings. When you live by God's Word, you have stability. When you live by feelings, it's like riding a roller coaster; one day you're up, the next you're down. God wants to bring you into emotional maturity, but you have to cooperate with Him. This calls for a daily act of your will; choosing to do things His way rather than your own. And once it becomes a habit, you discover that life is more enjoyable.

Now, you don't let everyone who knocks on your door come in and make themselves at home, so why would you let every emotion that surfaces dictate the direction of your day or decide your responses? ‘Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life.' (Proverbs 4:23 CEV) It's your thinking that produces your feelings, not vice versa! That's why Paul writes, ‘Capture every thought and make it obey Christ.' (2 Corinthians 10:5 NCV) In other words, if a thought doesn't line up with God's Word, don't give it a voice or a vote.

‘We walk by faith, not by sight.' (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV) This may come as a surprise but you won't always feel God's presence. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to two disciples on the Emmaus road, yet they didn't recognise Him. Why? Because they were occupied with their feelings! How did He lift them out of their negative emotions? ‘He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.' (Luke 24:27 NKJV) Bottom line: be led only by God's Word.

SoulFood: Job 5-7, Luke 18:1-17, Ps 19, Pro 8:6-7

BROKENNESS
Open Heavens
for Saturday, December 28, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BROKENNESS

In your relationship with God, one place you need to get to is the place of brokenness. To be broken is to have some form of injury that makes the object less than a whole. In spiritual parlance, it is to break or subdue the flesh in order to be more profitable to the kingdom of God. Why do you need to be broken?...More

DELIVERANCE: DIVINE ASSURANCE

When God speaks, that settles it. He reigns forever. When He gives a decree, it is forever. When He says "surely", it means surely. When He says surely, it will be well with me, nobody can change it. He says surely, by His stripes I am healed, and nobody can change this. He says surely, everything I do shall...More
