for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. James 1:20. As we close on the current series to make way for the next one that I start tomorrow, we have been talking about emotions and how to glorify God when we have them. When we have negative emotions, we need to get rid of them and then glorify God. Some of the negative emotions are double-sided and an example of this is anger, it is ok to get angry when something isn't right and it gives you the fire to correct it and that you glorify God by doing so. We are to have good emotions and God wants nothing more for us. So in the powerful name of Jesus, we are to pray and seek God.
God I pray right now that all negative emotions be taken away
put in us a right spirit of good things and not of bad things
help us to overcome all negative emotions and in your name
Let no negative, bad spirits or the devil himself
Keep us from the emotions God has for us
In Jesus Name
Amen
Nothing that comes from the devil is from God and negative emotions which do come and try to take us over are not from God and need to be put to death. you can put any negative emotion in the verse above and say that none of those will bring about God and His righteousness. So, as we close a chapter on this series take an emotion checklist and see what emotions you have, are they From God or are they from the evil one? It is one or the other, God does not give sadness or foolishness, or anger in certain circumstances. It does not mean that we are to be joyful and happy all the time, we can be seeking those things of God. I will leave it there to close the series so I can let that last sentence sink in.
