Freedom from Wrong Emotions SCRIPTURE READING: John 10:7–15 KEY VERSE: John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. You see a moving television program—tears flow. A drunken man at the basketball game leans over and spills his drink on you—anger swells. You drive up to your house surrounded by paramedics and ambulances—fear surges. Each is an emotion, an intrinsic part of every individual’s personal identity. We talk of emotional moments. We say that some people are unemotional while others freely express their feelings. Whether suppressed or inhibited, the emotional makeup of a person is an integral part of his behavior. As such, it can be a problematic area for many Christians. The good news for the believer is that you are now inhabited by the person of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit searches the innermost parts of your being, seeking to touch every aspect of your personality. Progressively He can heal damaged emotions, control runaway passions, and harness selfish affections. If your emotions are fragile or volatile, the Holy Spirit can act as the inner healer, providing an unseen source of comfort. Your emotional infirmities are His supernatural specialty. O God, I yield my emotions to You. Holy Spirit, be my source of comfort. Help me realize that my emotional infirmities are Your supernatural specialty.” Excerpt From: Charles F Stanley. “On Holy Ground.” Thomas Nelson, Inc., 2010-02-23. iBooks.
