The Root to Negative Emotions
September 30th, 2009
When you allow negative emotions to rule your life, it is because you feel power-less to change your situation or circumstance. However, God has given you authority over your emotion. You can rule over them rather than allowing your emotions to rule over you and govern your decisions. By using your God-given authority, you can walk in complete dominion over negative emotions to the point that nothing can hurt you.
Feelings are designed to move you in a certain direction-either toward or away from the will of God for you life.
Every person has feelings it is part of our make up. It is okay to have emotions, but your emotions should not control you. Even Jesus had emotions; instead of He yielding to them, He prayed and kept moving forward in God’s plan for His life. He had many opportunities to allow His emotions to get the best of Him, because He to felt overwhelmed, sorrow and depressed, but He continued doing the will of God for His life all the way to the cross.
The root to every negative emotion is a sense of powerlessness.
There are three areas that Satan wants you to believe that you cannot change.
1. Your circumstances. 2. Your personality. 3.Your weaknesses.
You have the God-given authority to change your circumstances, personality and weaknesses.
God has given every believer command. Jesus gave us His authority (Matthew 28:18). You have authority over every attack of the enemy, including attacks on your mind and emotions (Luke 10:19).
As a Christian, you are “authorized” to determine what happens on the earth. Satan will test you to see if you know your authority.
When you know who you are and Whose you are, you don’t have to prove anything; all you have to do is speak the Word (Matthew 4:1-10).
