Good morning and a Happy New Week to you. How was your weekend and how has life been in general?
Really having the best season of my life because I'm growing daily in the knowledge of God and gaining serious spiritual insights. Because as He is so am I in this world, I discovered as I gain more knowledge of God, I get to know myself more better. This has really helped to keep my life together and helped me focus properly to know what God really wants me to do.
Today, I want to share something really important with you. And that is.... EMOTIONS!
I think as human beings, we're just naturally emotional and seem to work more by what we see and feel than the truth in God's word. The truth however is that our feelings aren't always true and as such shouldn't be trusted.
I remember in a dream sometime ago, I lost my dad and we were planning his burial. I wept so bitterly in that dream and didn't stop even after I woke up. It felt so real.... I just kept crying and then, I didn't even have a phone to contact my dad. Weeks later, my dad came around to visit and he was hale and hearty and you needed to have seen how I jumped on him in excitement.
The truth is that while I dreamt, my dad was very much alive, but because of my dreams and the emotions that followed I felt he was already dead. This is exactly how emotions play out.... They're mostly always not true or real, but because we're in the flesh, we assume it's true. This is the means through which fear holds a firm grip on us. We fear what we don't see and hope for the worst because what we see doesn't look like what we hope for.
One sure thing I've come to discover that stays true is the word of God. If it says you have been blessed, then you're blessed. If it says you have the wisdom of God, you have it. If it says you have not been given the spirit of fear but of love, of power and of a sound mind, it is the truth. It doesn't matter what your body says or how you feel physically, stick with the word and draw from your already gained victory.
Having learnt this, I don't give room to fear, because that's not who I am and that's not what the word says about me. He says I'm powerful, full of wisdom, strong, able, etc and I believe Him. I don't let my emotions rule, I let His motions (word) rule.
Walk through this week and beyond with this mindset and you'll see how fearless you'll live.
Have a fulfilling week.
Love you large
