1 John 3:20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
- 99% of the time it happens that what you're heart and your feelings are telling you is different from what God says. This is because the heart is very deceitful. Well God is greater than our hearts that is why our emotions shouldn't get the better of us because God is beyond them.
Exodus 7:13
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said
- Do you know why Pharaoh's reign was destroyed? It was because of his hardened heart. We sometimes let our emotions control us in such a way that we end up destroying the things that we love. We end up destroying our families, friendships, relationships, marriages, work and etc.
Luke 22: 49-51
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
- When Peter lost it and his emotions got hold of him causing him to cut off the ear of the servant of the high priest (Mulches) while they were capturing Jesus; the Lord responds and says "Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" (John 18:10). Avoid controlled by emotions and let the Holy Spirit do its work. Remember (Psalms 121: 3) He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
