My friends, I have been feeling so bitter and emotional this weekend, since yesterday! My G has been pretty sweet, trying to be nice and deal with my mood swings, but I just can't get it together. I take every little thing super personally and switch off between crying and thinking nasty thoughts. I would really appreciate prayers to just CHILL. Reminder to self: the enemy has no place here and I CAN control my feelings!
Sometimes it can feel like the devil's biggest weapon is our feelings. Our flesh, our sinful nature loves to turn to things that can so easily blind us to the truth. Momentary "feelings" of pleasure can mask the guilt, the hurt, or the anger that can come after doing something we know isn't good and pure. You once reminded me of Philipians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 KJV bible.com/1/php.4.8.KJV" Sister, focus on these things and allow the joy of the Lord, our God to renew your spirit, your strength, and your hope. I will continue to pray with and for you sister.
Right on Eric! Adrianne, the enemy only gets to touch our emotions because we arnt taking each though captive to Christ. Especially when we've been lazy with it recently, then he has a foothold. The hardest task I've ever done (not that be accomplished it yet) Is to take EACH idle thought captive to Christ & rebuke the enemy with scripture EACH time during EVERY type of circumstance! But it's what were called to do.. So much more power avalible to & through us if only we would do this very simple yet very difficult task. I am lifting you up tonight sister! Hope you have a blessed night!
Adrienne....make sure to cast Satan out. Command it by the blood of Jesus Christ. Praying you find some comfort in prayer. Its hard not to feel defeated when we haven't been at our best, but im praying for your strength. Be strong and courageous. Joshua 1:9
You know I have these days too sister. I am praying for you. It's hard every day to do it, but when you are weak God is strong. He can carry you through this. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
