II Corinthians‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭NKJV

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

 

Have you ever made a decision because it simply “felt right”?

 

Quote: Feeling is internal and emotion is external 

——————————————

Quote: Emotion is an external manifestation of internal feeling 

 

Quote: True Love is Committed to regenerating the feeling of love again 

 

Your feeling can’t be trusted 

Proverb 3:5-7

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.”

——————————————

Quote: Our hearts is the ”seat of our emotions”

——————————————

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-9‬ ‭NKJV

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. 

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”

 

These are three tools we can use break this spiritual barrier 

——————————————

1. Obedience is better the sacrifice 

    2. Mind  of Christ over the mind of the flesh

    3. Devotional  over emotional

New year / New view 

 

-Rear view mirror living

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

““But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”

Why fast ?

1. Helps us Fight the devil 
2. Gives us clear vision and direction 
3. Because Gods says so

Quote : 

Fasting should be normal biblical response to an obedient born again believer

Results of prayer and fasting 

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58:6-8‬ ‭NKJV

Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.”

1. Refocus                                    In what is really important
2. Reignite                                    Your Fire for God
3. Renew                                      Your love for God
