What Has Feelings Got To Do With It?

Greetings to you in the name of Jesus.  I have been doing lots of meditation and studying on love and faith. Today I want to discuss faith as the Spirit will lead.
The Bible said that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God...Romans 10:17. The Bible also said that Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith...Hebrews 12:2.  Also, Romans 12:3 says that God has given to each of us the measure of faith.  So from the above Bible verses, we see that faith is a gift of God. God made man to have faith and each of us have faith within us, it's like the faith button God put inside of us comes alive when we hear the Word of God and as we continue to hear His Word.  Our faith is however made stronger when we put the Word of God to work.

A Christian cannot do anything outside the realm of faith. In fact, without faith, you cannot please God! Hebrews 11:6.  Man was created to be completely dependent on God, although we are free moral agents(meaning we are free to choose to serve God),  yet we can only get fulfillment in life if we serve God.  For instance, if you take the fish out of water it will die, because fish was made from water, to live in the water. Likewise, a Child of God is born of the Word of God and can only abide by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23).   God is a Spirit likewise Man and we can only relate with God from the spirit and this can be easily achieved if we learn how to separate feelings from spiritual things.  To apply your faith, you have to leave the realm of feelings, your feelings will always contradict faith because faith is the only tool we have to receive from God.  On the other hand the enemy can only get to you through your feelings. Here you are maybe you feel some headaches, and you start declaring the Word of God, 'By His Stripes I Am Healed' next thing, "the enemy will start asking you if you are really really sure you are healed and how come you still feel the headache even after praying? Don't you see that God didn't hear your prayer 'cos you don't really have faith?"  See, this is when you stand your ground, cast that thought out, reject it in the name of Jesus and refuse to consider how you feel, just lift up your hands if you can and start thanking God for your miracle.  Don't wait for the physical manifestation of your request before you start thanking God, if you do, the enemy will have you locked down on your feelings and you may never receive from God that which you desired.   Romans 8:8, they that are in the flesh (feelings) cannot please God. 

Take your feelings far away from the Word of God if it is not corresponding with the Word of God.  The enemy thrives in feelings but you are a Spirit being and the Spirit should rule the physical.  Never relate to God with your feelings, God does not dwell there, He dwells in your spirit.
 I will stop here for now..we will continue on this topic again.   God bless you and I do hope you are blessed reading this.
