Dealing With Our Feelings (Intro)

Genesis 1:27

I read that this time of year, between Christmas and New Year's Day, statistically there are more suicides than at any other time of year. Isn't that sad? The time when it would seem a person should be the happiest and most excited results in just the opposite…why? It is because of our emotions, our feelings. Over the next several weeks, I want to bring a series of messages entitled, 'Dealing with our Feelings'. We all have them…the difference between you and I and the 'statistics' is in how we deal with our emotions. There are those who would say that we cannot deal with our emotions, we must just 'cope' with them and hope for the best.

I. Feelings or Emotions: Positive or Negative?

II. We are Created in His Image.

III. We Are To Be In Control of Emotions.

Now is the time to choose! How long will we be controlled by our flesh? The longer we wait, the more difficult the deliverance. We cannot control our emotions in our own strength, but by the power of God and His Word we can walk free every day.

(Eph 4:30) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let's learn to deal with our feelings properly that we might not grieve the Holy Spirit.
