FEELINGS
Feelings mean "a faculty or power of perception; sensibility, excitement, emotion, sense of touch and it is by feeling we know that our bodies are hard or soft, hot or cold, wet or dry, rough or smooth. SENSE is a branch of perception. The five senses of humans and animals are sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Our feelings are dichotomous in nature: good versus evil. Our feelings ought not to dictate our lives.
God gave us these feelings but for His purpose. Joy, peace, love, goodness, kindness, patience, self-control, faithfulness and gentleness these are God's purpose for us. Today, we live in an "if it feels good do it, syndromic" world, thus making our world abnormal in configuration. We have to take supreme control of aberrant or dysplastic feelings and we ought not to allow them to assume control over us.
Rogue feelings have started wars, mutinies, forced tyrannies; have caused miseries, savageries and many sinister and political repression over our world's history by many faces of evil. Suicide, infanticide, murder, and the list goes on. Jesus said He will keep us in perfect peace as we keep our minds on Him. This is our safe harbor even from our own rogue feelings. Yield to good feelings.
