Its a very freeing thing to know that you dont have to let your emotions dictate your life, when your a believer the spirit of god dwells in you you have power over the actions of your flesh through Christ! ....This is good The Bible teaches us that our thoughts are the determining factor which controls our actions. Proverbs 23:7 says, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Romans 8:6 says, For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Notice that carnal mindedness doesnt just tend toward death — it is death! If we let the new man dominate us, well walk in power and victory in every area of our lives. How can you tell if your thoughts and emotions are coming from the new, born-again self or the old carnal self? Gods Word is the key. Jesus says in John 6:63, The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Any thought or emotion that agrees with what Gods Word says about you is from your new man. Any thought or emotion that violates Gods Word is from your old man or the devil. If you are angry at someone, youre in the flesh (old man). Just repent and get back in the spirit (new man) where you have love, joy, and peace (Gal. 5:22). If you are afraid, youre in the flesh, for God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). Instead of going to God and asking Him to remove the fear, just step out of the flesh and into the spirit where there is no fear (1 John 4:18).
