HOW TO CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONS or YOUR FEELINGS DON’T HAVE TO CONTROL YOU

It is better to be slow-tempered than famous, it is better to have self-control than to control an army. Proverbs 16:32 (LB)

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. Luke 1:37 (AB)

1. CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS IS PART OF GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

How truly I love you! We're the best of friends, and I pray for good fortune in everything you do, and for your good health—that your everyday affairs prosper, as well as your soul!
3 John 2 (TM)

Your soul is actually made up of three parts.
Your mind
Your will
Your emotions

2. JESUS SHOWS US HOW TO CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS

Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.
Hebrews 4:15 (TM)

They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, "Sit here while I go and pray." He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He became deeply troubled and distressed. He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death.."
Mark 14:32-34 (NLT)

3. JESUS SOUGHT THE FATHER IN PRAYER

He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting Him might pass Him by. "Abba, Father," He cried out, "everything is possible for You. Please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine."
Mark 14:35-36 (NLT)

4. RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR EMOTIONS ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY SATAN
Your father is the devil, and you do exactly what he wants. He has always been a murderer and a liar. There is nothing truthful about him. He speaks on his own, and everything he says is a lie. Not only is he a liar himself, but he is also the father of all lies. John 8:41 (CEV)

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. Luke 10:19 (NLT)

Yes, that old snake and his angels were thrown out of heaven! That snake, who fools everyone on earth, is known as the devil and Satan. Revelation 12:9 (CEV)

In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say, "God opposes everyone who is proud, but he is kind to everyone who is humble." 7Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you. 8Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can't make up your mind.
James 4:6-8 (CEV)
