Emotions - A natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. Hebrew (Nephesh) - soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, appetite, emotion, and passion

We know that Our Awesome God is Spiritual, He breathe into you and me His Breather, then we became alive!
We’ve heard to not allow our emotions to get the best of me, correct? Just as Cain killed his brother Able, because he made a decision from an emotional place, and it was not aligned with The Will of God!
Someone will say, is not Love an emotion? I will say, Spiritually speaking, No, God Is Love, so Love Is God and because you Love, you are God and when you make a Love Decision, because you are in God, you acknowledge Him and He directs you in the way that you should go!
The problem is that we are not consistent with acknowledging Him in all things!
Jesus did not operate thru emotions but only thru The Power of Christ (Soul)
Your Soul belongs to God - He created you and gave you everything you need thru His Word!
When you trust in Him fully, these decisions we make, will not be predicated upon an emotion, but only on the guidance of God!
Jesus in the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed - told His Disciples “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Then He was withdrawn and knelt down to pray, and you know what He asked!
“Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”
Some will say, Jesus experienced human emotions, which is correct, because He was in the likeness of sinful flesh, but the key is this, as stated previously, Jesus did not operate through a natural instinctive state of mind due to His circumstance forth coming, He was only moved by The Will Of God!
Yes, I know what you are saying, Jesus Wept, yes, Jesus did but Christ did not!
He wept because His physical was in line with His Soul (Christ) and knew that what they were saying is possible, if I would have been there, Lazarus would still be living!
But God would not have gotten the Glory out of me being there, so Christ waited until the appointed time, 4 days!
You see, God’s Power needed to be revealed - Jesus said; “He is not dead, but sleep”
The natural you must be in align with the Spirit because the natural cannot comprehend the things of The Spirit!
Proverbs 19:2 (NKJV) 2  Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet. Proverbs 19:8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
Do not make moves based off your physical emotions; Luke 12: 29 - 31
You are a Spiritual being, created wonderfully for God, in the earth, and we must submit our physical to the knowledge of God so that we won’t be so easily moved thru natural emotions!
Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus, from a naturally emotional place and then he denied Jesus because he was in his natural emotions!
Abraham lied based of his natural emotions, for he imagine that they would kill him!
Jacob did the same thing!
Moses struck the rock out of frustration and he allowed himself to be rejected because of his natural emotions!
God’s word is inspiring, His word Builds and strengthens you! Jesus told Peter; “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”
When you fully Trust God and submit to His Will, you will recognize that God has taken the limits off and even though the circumstances may not be looking favorable, it does not matter because God’s Word has strengthen me and encouraged me to keep moving forward and seeking His Righteousness, for He will keep me!
Operating from a naturally induced emotional perspective skews your vision and will cause you to enter into a state of unrest, when God has promised us thru His Word that there remains a rest for His People!
When Jesus Wept, a text we use to justify our pity party, but Christ knew what needed to be done, the flesh had to be taught this, therefore, we ought to Thank God always for giving us The Great Example!
I am sure Jesus wanted to be there but Christ spoke and said, this sickness is not unto death - so now the flesh must adhere to what The Spirit has spoken! We do not know, but The Holy Spirit is searching the Heart of God for you so it behooves us to operate from the Soul (Spiritual) so that we enter into a restful state that will cause you to know that this problem is not a problem because when I view it from God’s Eye, I realize this; “If God Be For Me, Who or What Can Be Against Me!”
You see, Religion has prostituted our emotions causing you and I to be bound by certain rules and mindsets, not realizing The Word of God has freed you from those legalistic things!
Legalistic views will have you bound to your past, thinking you have to put you down every time you make a mistake; no, Jesus came so that you and I may have Rights, in the Kingdom of God!
The devil is a liar - Jesus Christ - Born under the law - but came to change your mind concerning the law! He brought Grace, that turns us back to God and let us know that because we have a relationship with God, He cares and Loves me despite the mess I’ve made!
What the law could not do, Jesus Christ did!
Your soul belongs to God, you are not what the natural is telling you to become, because you believe God, you are Kingdom Dwellers, therefore you have access to the things of The Kingdom
After Jesus spoke the parables, and the words to encourage His followers, to always trust His Word and be led by The Spirit of God!
The Bible says that He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron. . . Kidron - a valley that separated the walled city of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives!
This would be before He would be arrested, before Judas manifested himself and showed us that he made a natural decision for silver!
But that is ok, I am so glad he did, someone had to do it!
But there is a important point here we need to see, as Jesus was going over the Brook Kidron, a valley, knowing that HE was going towards victory, but what seems to the natural eye to be defeat!
Although Jesus was arrested, He did not make a decision from the natural, Christ (The Anointed One) moved forward into purpose because His Soul knew it was already finished!
We get disappointed because we know what is coming and it seems like we do not have enough to overcome what is coming!
Jesus, was praying, and after He acknowledge the Will of God, The Bible says that The Angels came and strengthen Him! This right here gave me strength, because God showed me that Jesus went through Kidron, the valley, and opened up the revelation of Psalm 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. . .”
Naturally, it may look bleak, it may look like it is over, it may look like I won’t make, but I do not make decisions based off the natural eye sight, God will be with me, so I am encouraged by His Word!
