Emotions are not bad, they are not something you should feel bad about having, because every human experiences emotion. It’s all a part of life.
But there is a time when emotions are carried on a little too long then they should, to where it becomes a weapon more then a feeling. There are the right kinds of emotions, and then there are the bad ones. Ones that urge you on to shout, be proud, get sensitive and much more along those lines. Through emotions, the enemy finds ways to get into your armor. Through your emotions, he can get you to use them the wrong way; that’s when your emotions become dangerous. Did you ever think emotions were an easy way for the enemy to enter in? Well they are, and it’s very real. When you are emotional, it is much easier for you to be hardened, to go along with things, go against them, hate things, people, lie, shout, etc,. It is an easy way for the enemy to sneak in and whisper in your ear. You are not a child anymore, you are grown up now, but just because I say that, does not mean you have fully matured in the spirit. I see you growing, I see you changing, but in this one area, you have not. You have become lazy and tired, tired of trying to get over it. You feel that it’s no use, it’s just the way you are and is life—you must learn to control your emotions, instead of your emotions controlling you. It’s a very big difference, to be in control of your emotions, and when your emotions control you. You must learn the difference, so that when the time comes, you can know where you stand. It is the day and hour to stand up and stop sitting in the gutters and letting your own self get you down. It’s not good to be swept up in your emotions, especially when they are being used by the enemy. And I gotta tell you, you “know” when the enemy is using your emotions against you and others, because it is clearly written in your tone of voice, your eyes, your speech, your actions—everywhere! How could you just let the enemy use your emotions like that? It’s like soidlers in the battle field, letting their enemies use their weapons. It’s very dangerous and it’s very important to know when it happens. You’re driven by emotions at times like that, but really think…who is behind those emotions? Is it Me? Or the enemy? I’m sure you can tell which it is, it’s easy to tell who is behind them. But one tricky thing, that the enemy always uses during those times, is “how”. Say your friend has done something against you, and you get those emotions running hot through your blood. You think, “is this the Lord? Or the enemy?” but you feel that because someone has wronged you, it is not wrong if you feel upset and frusterated. You feel that, in this situation, you have a reason to be upset!! “He was the one who started it, it’s his fault!! Blame him, I have a right to act the way I am!” tricky huh…do you think that is really Me whispering in your ear to think that way? Really take time to ponder on that…it’s important to really know who holds the strings…
The enemy is a tricky and sly liar, and he will find anything possible to make it look like it’s not bad, and try to cover it up with a good topping, to make you think that it’s not him speaking, but it’s Me. Don’t let him deceive you into thinking that way, it’s wrong and it will lead you into a lot of problems. Certain emotions are meant to be there, but others aren’t…and that is the time for you to stand up and fight them. Don’t just sit there and say that, “well it’s a human weakness, go on right ahead and fill me up with emotions!!” don’t just expect it to walk all over you and everything will be okay. Stand up, fight, push them away; show the enemy that you know exactly who is behind it, and admit to yourself that YOU let him in. It’s not only the enemy, My child, YOU are also a part of it...no one can walk into a house unless someone behind it opens it. You see? You are also a part of why these emotions come, and why the enemy gets in and uses them. You need to start to realize that you are not a little child anymore, and you can’t just expect to throw a fit and blame in on the overseer who just wasn’t watching you properly. It’s “you”. No one else, “you” are the one who opens your channel up to let the enemy come in a control your emotions. Watch that it doesn’t happen…catch yourself when you feel that it’s getting too far. Or even better, but harder, is catch yourself when you are tempted to even feel emotional.
Don’t feel bad if you fall…but when you do fall, don’t be too proud to let others help you up. Don’t be too proud to admit it was really “you” who saw it coming, and allowed it to happen. Change takes time, and change comes slowly, but call on the spirit helper of Change, and he will come to your aid and whisper in your ear when you feel tempted to push away the change that is needed in your life.
I love you, darling, please don’t feel that you are one big mistake, everyone has problems. You just need to learn to get up and fight them, not let them walk all over you.
Remember, control your emotions, don’t let them control you.
You can do it. I’ll be right there to help you, don’t be too proud to call for Me, I want to help you. I love you.
