FEELINGS

There are two facts about feelings that will help you in the days ahead.  First of all feelings can be very deceptive.  My enemy always works in this area of your inner man, and too often he has great success.  When you get up in the morning, you may feel like just crawling under the covers because you feel like you just cannot face the day.  When this happens, I want you to know and meditate on the second fact about feelings that I now share with you.

The second fact about feelings is that I was touched with all the feeling of your every weakness.    When I walked on earth and died on the cross for you, I experienced every feeling mankind has ever felt.  I even experienced what it feels like to be tempted, but always remember that I overcame temptation by speaking the Word of God out loud.

This is how you can overcome every negative feeling that you experience.  When you feel depressed, speak out loud these words, "I put on the garment of praise to lift the spirit of heaviness away from me."  When you feel afraid, say aloud, "What times I am afraid, I will trust in the Lord and not be afraid."  Remember what I have taught you this morning and know that you can give every negative feeling you experience to Me.  I then will be able to immerse you with My peace.
