Podcast 125 - What Jesus Taught About Emotions

When Jesus taught in the Synagogue and quoted a very familiar passage from Isaiah about being anointed was Jesus talking about our emotions? I think that is a very valid question. Yet, we usually only apply that to our physical well-being. Most of our challenges are the result of the things on the inside of us that need to be healed. Listen carefully about the way this can happen for you.

Podcast 124 - The Major Emotions That Hinder Us

There are eight major emotions that all of us have that can and do at times hinder us in our walk with the Lord. You know what those emotions are. When I mention them, you will immediately recognize them. You experience them on a regular basis. It may not have occurred to you that they are the reason you hesitate to do what God tells you to do. But it is true. More importantly, if you have gotten that far, you still may not know how to fix this. I can help you. So, listen carefully.

Podcast 123 - Never Make Emotional Decisions

Your emotions will be involved in the decision making process. Just be sure that what you decide is not based strictly on those emotions. You will live with those decisions, but how you feel about what you decided can change very quickly. And the change can be drastic. Emotions are a very important part of our lives. But God did not intend for us to run our lives based on how we feel. The just shall live by faith - not feelings.

Podcast 122 - You Can't Trust Your Emotions

Without question, we are all emotional beings. Some show it more than others. However, what matters is how much we allow our emotions to determine how we live. We are spirit beings. Emotions spring from the soul. Our choices should be made based on what we know in our spirit and not what we feel in our soul. This takes years of discipline and determination. Consider the degree to which fear dictates what you do. That is not a criticism. It is just something to provoke you to think.

Podcast 121 - Never Try to Make it Happen

A favorite Scripture I have often quoted is found in Numbers 23:19 which says: “God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes his mind. When he says something, he will do it; when he makes a promise, he will fulfill it." If we really believe that, then why would we ever attempt to accomplish what God has said He will do. Excitement can provoke us to try to make things come about more quickly. Rest assured, it never works.
