Let me tell you a valuable lesson I have learned. We are all emotional people. Our emotions
have the ability to deceive us and trick us out of what God has for our future. I will admit that I have done and said things
in my emotions that in retrospect I didn’t mean. I acted out of my feelings at the time. There was a particular time I was “in my
feelings.” After I reluctantly submitted to what God was saying in my heart I
prayed and saw an image of generations that would miss blessings because of a
decision I would have made in my emotions that day.
Here is what you have to know. Your emotions are good and valuable, but you
must control them. You emotions will
kill the promotion that God can have for your life and your future!
Jeremiah was an emotional prophet. He is known as the weeping prophet. He was ready to give up on everything. He was very emotional. He then had a moment of clarity in his emotions
and said, “every time I try to quit I can’t
because it’s like fire shut up in my bones”! You can’t quit due to emotions when you have
a fire of purpose that is still burning!
Likewise, Saul had the same issue. He was jealous of David the rising star. In his emotions he tried to kill David and
scripture even says because he couldn’t fully submit to God the “spirit of the
Lord had departed from Saul.:” Wow… All because of his emotions. David would go on to be King. David would be
just fine because he was a worshiper, and he chose to worship even in his emotions.
THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE TO LEARN! That’s why we have the Psalms that say “The Lord is
my light and my salvation whom shall I fear.”
“The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.” David was in his emotions but he chose to
WORSHIP NOT, WIMP OUT! He was a man after God’s own heart!
GET YOUR EMOTIONS TOGETHER SO YOU CAN SEE THE PROMOTION GOD
HAS FOR YOU! EMOTIONS CAN KILL
PROMOTION!
I speak promotion in your life this week as you overcome
your emotions! As you seek God for his will the blessing will follow!
Let’s Pray, Lord God I thank you that I am stable in my
emotions. I thank you that I have overcome
the power of Satan. I thank you that I
am going to prosper as I seek your will and overcome my feelings. Help me to seek you, serve you , and obey you. In the name of the Lord Jesus’ Amen.
