YOUR FEELINGS ...A DOORWAY TO TEMPTATION

Bring Me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didnt have. Fear and anxiety still plaque you. Feelings per se' are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith.
Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isnt there. Anxiety that you in hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth to fear of fear; a monstrous step-child. Bring your anxieties out into the Light of My Presence, where we can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting Me, and fearfulness will gradually lose in foothold within you.

What feelings are you allowing the enemy to play on and use for his demise? What fears do you have that he feeds off of? Do you realize that the devil loves to paint you a picture full of "what if's" and "suspicions", just to get you in the doorway of temptation? Ask the Lord today where and what areas in your life you are fearful, be honest with him about your true feelings. Even the ones that you cover up from the world. Dont allow the enemy to use your emotions to trick you into unnecessary pain and heartache.
Be Blessed
