“Feelings: Help or Hindrance – 401”
…Blog. [4/4]
*** (Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of the LORD was unto them
precept upon precept; precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a
little; that they might go; and fall backward [backslide]; and be broken; and
snared; and taken.
*** (Luke
16:13) No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and mammon. [Feelings
or Faith]
*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come; says the Lord
Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water; but of = Hearing = the
Words of the LORD Jehovah [The Holy Word of GOD].
*** (Hebrews
10:38-39) Now, "the Just shall live by faith. But if he draws back; My
soul shall have no pleasure in him."
(Heb 10:39) But we are Not of those
withdrawing to destruction; but of those who believe to the preserving of the
soul.
Did ‘You’ ever get the “Warm Fuzzes”…? ‘You’ know what I mean, a feeling that
came from a particular: “Video, Song or Person or Something Other”…? Did ‘You’
ever get ‘Teary Eyed’ over anything in the past; that ‘You’ had… “Absolutely No
Control Over”…? Perhaps the death of a
Spouse, Mother or Father…? How about a Christmas Movie…? Christ Jesus was ‘Not’
born in December: because sheep are ‘Not’ in the field during the “Winter!” Did
those… “Feelings”… help your situation or make it worse…? Why do ‘You’ think
there is such a large market on those… “Lust Novels & Chick Flicks”…? And
of course also the… “Cosmetics Industries”… which have an endless market. How
about the “Sports Industries” and all the “Products & Logo Marketing”…? All these and many others; are “ALL” … tied
to: “FEELINGS!” Fallen mankind has their ‘Only Hope’… in the things of this corrupted
world! Redeemed mankind takes God’s Holy Word… as their “ONLY”: Point of
Reference for “TRUTH”…!
*** (1Jn
5:19) We know that we are from God: and that the whole world lies under the ‘control’
of the evil one [Satan].
*** (John
17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your
Word is Truth.
*** (1Jn
2:21) I have not written to you because you do not know the Truth; but
because you know it; and know that ->
‘No Lie’ is of -> the Truth.
*** (Ecclesiastes 1:2) Vanity of vanities, says the preacher; vanity
of vanities! All is vanity.
*** (Matthew
8:21-22) Then another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, first let me
go and bury my father."
(Matt 8:22) But Jesus told him, “Follow: ME”
–> and let the [Spiritually] dead: –> bury their own dead.”
*** (2Kimgs
6:28-29-30) And the king said to her, What ails
you? And she said, This woman said to me, Give your son so that we may eat him
today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
(2Ki 6:29) And we boiled my son
and ate him. And I said to her on the other day, Give your son so that we
may eat him. And she has hidden her son.
(2Ki 6:30) And it happened when the king heard the words of the woman,
he tore his clothes. And he passed by on the wall, and the people looked, and,
behold, he had sackcloth inside
on his flesh.
When we are “Confronted
‘by/or’ with Feelings”… what must we “First Do”…? Right away someone
will say, “But Jesus “WEPT”…! But do ‘You’ see: He is the “God–Man”, “The
Passover Lamb of God.” Why did He weep…? Was it because of their Unbelief? Was
it because they “Rejected Him”: as the “Messiah of Israel?” Was it because of
the “Sin Curse” on all mankind? Was it for their continued: “Disobedience &
Rebellion” against God? Was it because of their “Refusal of Salvation”: and
subsequent “Eternal Damnation?” Was it because, He was but days from “His
Suffering & Crucifixion?” Yes these and many more. He was demonstrating His…
“Humanness!” But His response was “NEVER”: out of “Pure Emotion”… but it was driven
by “TRUTH!” Do ‘You’ respond to things of this life… with that “Same Truth”…?
Or is it out of frustration over the “Temporal Pleasures” of this life: that ‘You’:
“NO Longer Have”…?
*** (John 11:35) Jesus wept.
*** (Hebrews 4:15-16) For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been
‘tempted’ as we are: yet without sin.
(Heb 4:16) So let us keep on coming with boldness to the
throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our
time of need.
*** (Revelation
21:1-to-5) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the
first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer is.
(Rev 21:2) And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.
(Rev 21:3) And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men,
and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people; and God Himself will be with them and be their God.
(Rev 21:4) And God will wipe
away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor
mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things
passed away.
(Rev 21:5) And He [God] sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.
***
(Hebrews 4:16) Therefore let us come “Boldly” to the throne
of grace; that
we may ->
obtain mercy: -> and
find grace to help -> in
time of need.

MANY who say they “Love JESUS”… do Not: “Read & Study & Practice
[Live]”… His Holy Word! Is it any wonder WHY: they seem to be driven by” “FEELINGS”…?
If ‘You’ are “Truly”: Born Again: by His Holy Spirit… “YOU”… need to FEED:
yourself on His Holy Word: “DAILY!” If ‘You’ do not; then surely ‘You’ will be ‘Driven’:
by your “Feelings & Flesh”…! Your first reaction will be that of the “FEELING”…
over something that: ‘You’ have… “Absolutely NO Control Over”…! Do ‘You’ read completely
through your Bible: “Each Year”…? If NOT: could it be that ‘You’ did not
respond like JOB: who lost ‘ALL’ his: “Children, Wealth, Health”… and was left
with “ONLY” a Wife: who told him to: “Curse God & Die”…? Is your focus on
the things of Christ Jesus & His work… or on the “Temporal Passing
Pleasures” of this: ‘World’…?
*** (2Corinthains 4:16) That's why we are not discouraged. No,
even if our outer man is wearing out;
our inner man is being renewed: day by day. [John 15:1-2-3]
*** (Hebrews
11:24-to-27) By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter;
(Heb 11:25) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God: –> than to ‘enjoy’ the pleasures
of sin: –> for a season;
(Heb 11:26) Esteeming the reproach of Christ: –> greater riches: than the temporal treasures in Egypt: for
he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. [The Just shall live by Faith!]
(Heb 11:27) By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:
for he endured; as seeing Him: –> Who
is invisible.
*** (Job
2:9-10) And his wife said to him, Do you still hold to your integrity? Curse
God and die!
(Job 2:10) But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones
speak. What? Shall we receive good at
the hand of God; and shall we not receive evil? In all this: Job did not sin
with his lips.
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship toward Your holy
temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth's
sake; for You have magnified = Your Word = above all Your name.

*** (1Corinthains
2:9-to-14) But as it is written, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no
mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love
him."
(1Cor 2:10) But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For
the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.
(1Cor 2:11) Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except
by his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God
except God's Spirit.
(1Cor 2:12) Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the
Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were
freely given to us by God.
(1Cor 2:13) We don't speak about these things in words taught us by
human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things
to spiritual people.
(1Cor 2:14) A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of
God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because
they are spiritually evaluated.
*** (Luke 4:4) And Jesus answered him,
saying, It is written that “man shall Not live by bread alone; but by “Every” –>
Word of God.” [Matt 4:4 & Deut. 8:1-2-3]

When ‘You’ are faced with a “Calamity”…
do ‘You’… “Stop & Pray”…? How
else are we to handle the things of this life…? I am sorry, I have no other way:
but to do what Christ Jesus did. The very night before He was to be “Crucified”…
“He simply Prayed”: knowing all things that were to be accomplished beforehand.
Do ‘You’ meet with Him: Jesus: in His Holy Word… and pray about your day:
before it starts…? God’s children Israel… had to get the “Manna”… before the
sun rose and it ‘evaporated’. When ‘You’ start your morning with Him; in His
Holy Word & Prayer… ‘You’ will have a handle on life. Yes, no matter what
happens… because ‘You’… met with Him: “First!”

*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, HE [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and
there prayed. [worshiped]
*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:
for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh: by the WORD of the LORD.
*** (Matthew
11:27-to-30) All things are delivered to Me [Jesus] by My Father [God]. And no one
knows the Son [Jesus]: except the Father [God]. Nor does anyone know the Father
[God] except the Son [Jesus], and the one [You]–> to whom the Son [Jesus]
will reveal Him [God].
(Mat 11:28) Come to Me [Jesus] all you who labor and are heavy laden; and I will give you rest.
(Mat 11:29) Take My yoke on you and learn of Me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
(Mat 11:30) For My yoke is
easy; and My burden is light.
