Resurrection Life of Jesus Church

POWER OF EMOTIONS
Humanity is capable of experiencing a wide range of emotions which can eviscerate or edify your soul. The feelings we experience come primarily through words uttered by people that exist in our lives. Words have the power to speak life but they can also reduce you to tears and make you feel worthless.

• Lucifer is your mortal enemy and he is always on the attack. 1 Peter 5:8

• We are to resist the Devil. We are not alone in our afflictions. God is with us every step of the way. verses 9-10

POWER OF WORDS
Words can invoke emotions like love and joy or hate and sadness. The problem is that the tongue is capable of much in the way of good and evil. James 3:3-12

Are you walking with the Holy Spirit? verses 13-18

What types of words and actions are you demonstrating in your life? Galatians 5:14-26

SATAN WILL ATTACK YOUR MIND
While Christians don’t offer sacrifices anymore like in the Old Testament, the apostle Paul still admonishes us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, and to renew our minds because that is where the battle takes place. Romans 12:1-2

The convergence of the physical and spiritual takes place in your brain. This is a battle every human being will face whether they are born again or not. Christians are supposed to be different because our spirit man is alive, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit, some are even baptized in the Holy Spirit, and we have the Word of God in the form of the Bible. We have the ability to push back against the intrusions of Lucifer and his minions. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Our fight is ultimately with the Kingdom of Satan. Ephesians 6:11-12

THE SOLUTION
The Devil will tempt you to live in the past. He will stir up your emotions and cause you to be discontent, angry, jealous, depressed, etc. He will try to make you feel insecure and inferior in an effort to make you forget that you are precious in God’s eyes.  Galatians 2:20

Don’t get offended. Don’t get angry. Do not harbor bitterness. Give your burdens to Jesus. Matthew 11:28-30

There is no crisis in heaven. God is on the throne.

God has a solution to every problem.

We don’t have any input in selecting the difficulties we face, but we can rest assured that God is continually watching over us, with the intent of helping us to grow spiritually – even if He is selecting the difficulties we will face.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Your life may not have gone the way you wanted it to go, but God has been there every step of the way to help you work through every challenge. This was the case with the Israelites when Jesus rescued them from bondage in Egypt.  Deuteronomy 1:29-33
