OBSTACLES TO FAITH



Dear One,

The emotional part of your brain is different than the reasoning part of your brain. They are in different cortexes.
When a person acts or reacts in anger, disgust, condemnation, guilt, strife, judgment or dissension, then he has shut down the reasoning part of the brain which reasons with Me. When that happens, the only part functioning is the part which produces negative emotions. Those emotions will curse you. That's why Jesus taught so much about attitudes (Beatitudes). He was saying that you should act and react with My attitudes of forgiveness, love, respect, mercy, kindness and goodness.
When a person refuses to act or react with negative emotions to a stressful or difficult situation, choosing to reason with Me instead, then he leaves himself free to hear My creative, compassionate, nonjudgmental and merciful reasoning words. The results will be that he will receive the ability to act or react with My spiritual positive emotions of love, peace, mercy, goodness, joy, kindness, patience and faith.
The key in every situation is to refuse the temptation of the flesh, where the devil tempts you to act or react in self defense because it will always be an action of defeating the other person with injurious words or actions. You will also be defeated when you succumb to the anger produced by the devil.
Saving you from conflict is My primary concern. Conflict brings injury to body, soul and spirit. It is the basis of all wars in relationships, families and between countries.
Let every occasion to react in anger fall to the ground without accomplishing what the evil one planned.
Remember that My ways are not the ways of the flesh.
Do you want peace with all men? Then stay out of anger, strife and every evil work that accompanies them because they will curse you.
My objective is to bless you. First you must stay out of strife caused by anger.
Love, God
Matthew 5:21-26; Ephesians 4:26;-27; Colossians 3:8-10; Colossians 3;8; Ephesians 4:31-32; Romans 12:15-18.
