It's A Fact That We Have Feelings But Feelings Aren't Factual

This is the day that the Lord has made.  May we be glad and rejoice in it (Psalm 118-24). Satan is really conniving and slick.  He will try to attack you in your sleep, and  make you dream of things that you use to do, and then bring you before your accusers.  I rebuke every attempt that he has tried to make on my life and on the life of my wife, children, and family.  What a trick to have you in your dream smoking cocaine cigarettes and acting out of sorts, and then he puts certain people there to accuse you of what you’re doing. I feel a need to be candid here.  I hope my testimony helps someone out there.  If you are battling with substance abuse or any type of addiction whatever it may be I pray that you would have the strength to turn it over to God right now in Jesus name!  I pray that Satan has no power or authority over your life, and that he can no longer use drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or any mind altering, or mood changing substances to keep you in bondage.  This I pray in Jesus name.

 I woke up this morning feeling tired and out of it a bit.  I’ve often heard that it’s a fact that we have feelings, but that our feelings aren’t factual.  I’ve been told not to get caught up in my feelings and emotions.  Feelings and emotions can lead you astray or distract you from what God really has intended for you.  Sometimes we have to know that he is near even when we don’t feel his presence.  We have to trust in his word that he will do all that he said he will do.  Sometimes I fall back into fear and doubt about financial matters and all that is before me.   I don’t know what it was today, but I was feeling uneasy a bit. We got up for the 6 AM prayer with TOP and it was good, but I didn’t open my mouth as much as I would like to, because my wife said that it was distracting when I prayed out loud while Pastor McBride was praying out loud.  But I find a need to open my own mouth and speak to God myself.  I appreciate Pastor leading us in prayer, but I have to make it personal sometimes.  I realize that I’m the one who needs the breakthrough.  I’m the one who needs the power of the Holy Spirit each and everyday.  So after the prayer I got up and still felt like I was in some kind of a funk.  I tried to express myself to my wife, and I could see that it was making her recoil and feel a certain way so I began to think in my mind that it was a waste of time for me to even say anything.  If what I am thinking or letting off my chest makes my wife feel uncomfortable, or makes her not want to hear it then maybe I should keep it to myself.  I was kind of tired an irritable, and it could be because of the fast that we are on. I don’t know what it was. At times I can be a real ball of emotions. So I decided to get dressed and go to the gym to work out. I’m on a new regiment and I need to take care of myself first.  When I went downstairs to get my jacket out of the closet my dog Spirit was whimpering and trying to get me to take her for a walk.  Unfortunately for Spirit I wanted to take myself to the gym.  Sometimes a man feels bogged down with so many things to do and he gets frustrated because it seems like he can’t get anything done.  Anyway I went to the gym and had a good workout.  I listened to some gospel music as I worked out on the elliptical machine.  I then did some crunches, walked around the track, and jumped rope. The exercise helped to clear my mind.  Now I’m ready to take on the day.
