The Emotional comfort zone? / A loving rebuke ❤️

 Never give into Fleshly emotions, ladies. Ever.

Just because it feels like a wonderful emotional “comfort zone” to feel sad/lonely/gloomy/depressed/etc., this does not mean that you dwell in it. Stop resorting back to this “safe zone” over and over. This is absolutely NOT a safe place to be as a spiritual Christian!

We are required to get crucified to our emotions/flesh and to walk in the Spirit! It is NOT a badge of honour to be super emotional and unstable. This is actually a very undesirable trait, women. 

The Spirit says to have joy. The Bible says to have a merry heart. The Bible commands that we live and walk according to the Lord’s ruling and pottery spinning. 

No, we do not sit around and cry, complain, feel sorry for ourselves, give in, give up, lose hope or Faith, or act depressed! This is sinful. Yes, that’s right, sinful!

It doesn’t matter if you deal with hard physical pain, spiritual endurance, dark betrayal, deep spiritual warfare, or emotional loss (believe me, us Hartingers surely have and do!!!), you stay strong and you fight hard as a warrior of Christ. Period.

That’s my sober word and slight rebuke for the day. (I do not apologize…) 

Get serious, get crucified, surrender all to Jesus, put the flesh and Will DOWN, and walk in the spirit!

If you’re struggling, I think you need a longer prayer time or Bible time in the morning. Seriously.

The next time you feel like being moody, have self pity, are sad, feel lonely, or whatever, say, “No! I will be a happy, blessed, serious, strong Christian in Jesus’ name! I will not dwell in the past, in the flesh, in my emotions, or in my wavering feelings! I will be thankful, content, grateful, and full of the Spirit of God! Thank you, Jesus, for your Steadfast strength and joy today! Amen.”
