Follow God's Wisdom, Not Your Own Feelings

Follow God's Wisdom, Not Your Own Feelings 

For the Lord gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.  Proverbs 2:6

Life is no fun when we let our feelings run the show. Feelings change from day to day, hour to hour, even moment to moment. They often lie to us. In short, we cannot trust our feelings. 

But we can choose, as Christ followers, to ignore false emotions and live by truth and wisdom. Let me give you some examples. Perhaps you have found yourself in a crowd of people and felt as though everyone was talking about you. That doesn't mean they were. Maybe you feel that nobody understands you, but that doesn't mean they don't. You may feel misunderstood, unappreciated or even mistreated, but that doesn't mean you are. 

These are only feelings. We need to be mature, disciplined, Holy Spirit-controlled people, determined to walk in the Spirit. It takes a constant act of the will to choose to do things God's way rather than our way. 

Even though we may feel occasionally bombarded by negative emotions, we cannot allow those feelings to control and spoil life. Instead, we
can choose to follow the truth-godly wisdom, knowledge and understanding. 

Dear God, 
my feelings often go against Your wisdom and try to deceive me, but I won't let them run my life. Guide me with Your truth so that I can stay connected to You, and not be run by my constantly changing emotions.

Does anybody know you're a Christian

Does anybody even know you’re A Christian?

Does anybody even know that you’re a Christian?
When you go to your school or your job, can anybody tell by your actions that you believe in God or cannot they tell the difference in what you believe and how you act.
Because you’re always at the club with a drink or talking about somebody else behind their back and when they finally figure out you’re a Christian they start talking behind yours and then you wonder why when people look at you they can’t even respect the fact that you’re a Christian anymore.
Because you may be the only example they have and if they can’t tell the difference between your wrong and their wrong they aint going to follow God’s path, Does anybody even know you’re a Christian?
Do the people even know that the God in you is there, when somebody who doesn’t believe in God looses someone in their family do they even think to go to you for prayer, because they don’t know where else to go and if not when did Jesus become your own personal secret for nobody else to know.
Are you serious Jesus Christ didn’t get stretched out on the cross so your testimony could be mysterious because, silent testimonies have never saved souls, while our testimonies lay low, and we wonder why the world is raised in hell? Because a lot of Christians are too worried about other people’s opinions and too busy trying to save themself.
And y’all I don’t know what’s worse nobody knowing I am a Christian or the only people that know I am a Christian are the people at my church.
What you’ll have to understand is people sacrificed their lives to spread the love of Jesus throughout the earth, and you mean to tell me you more worried about what other people may think or believe. What if Jesus was more concerned with other people’s opinions than the Salvation you received?
Bleed until he bled, all his blood until he was dead, nailed his feet thorns in head, what if Jesus was less concerned about spreading the gospel and cared more about what people said, nah instead he stood for what was right. Jesus wanted everybody in the world to know and everybody to know that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever-lasting life.
Does anybody know you’re a Christian by your actions, or does everybody think you’re a Christian because you’re acting?
Does anybody know you’re a Christian by your actions, or does everybody think you’re a Christian while you’re acting? And the only reason why I ask is because half of us are putting on a vasade trying to treat our walk with God like were expecting full time benefits when he is our part time job.
But working with God isn’t a part-time gig, it’s not a job, or a career it’s a lifestyle that you have to live, and what you have to understand is one soul’s trash is another soul’s treasure. And if you won’t take your time then Jay Z will continue to convince them that Jesus can’t save them with the Empire State of mind. Does anybody know that you’re a Christian? Are you letting his light shine through and if not, how many more times are you going to deny Jesus before Jesus deny you.
