Mary/Martha Meeting Notes

We are in an emotional time.  Everyone is affected.
Our emotions need to be submitted to God and not run away from us.
Emotions are supposed to express God and not rule us.

Three parts of the soul

  1. You Intellect where you reason things out and think things through.
  2. Your Emotions are the visceral feelings that express you.
  3. The Will is your power to choose what to believe, do and express.

When all three are in balance, like a balanced Frisbee, you will spin smoothly with energy.  When any part is too heavy, the frisbee cannot spin because the balance is off or at best be very wobbly.

  1. FAITH is what will keep you in balance, therefore, the Enemy wants to steal your faith to throw you off balance.
  2. FAITH works by love. (not warm fuzzies) If there is unforgiveness, love cannot be there. If there is anger, resentment, judgment, faith cannot be there.
      1. When God points out sin to you, address it with repentance and forgiveness so love can come in. If you don’t, your faith will be stolen.
      2. Things don’t get better because you are “good.” They get better when you are reconciled and walking in faith/love.
      3. If you grab something just because it makes you feel good, you will lose sight of the future.
  1. God is interested in YOU. He wants you to know YOU.
      1. Intense feelings are emotions, not moods. Know what they are.
      2. What are you running from? (if any)
      3. What are you running to? (if any)
      4. What will make you calm?
      5. Emotions against the will can be killed by repentance.
  1. Keep your emotions under check (not hidden or suppressed)
      1. Daniel (in face of destruction)
      2. Esther (with the chance of being banned or put to death)
      3. Joshua and Caleb (for 40 years)
  1. Emotions are expressed through face, voice, body language, physiological reactions, behaviors, and mood. Keep them in check.

The whole nation (world) is in emotional turmoil. God says: Follow me. Stay in my timing. Grab hold of me. Express Me wherever you are. There is Hope. Grab it with Faith, Joy,

If you see yourself off-balanced, what do you need to do to get back in balance so you can function with energy? Put your emotions in check and choose to WORSHIP!!!
