“And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he
afterward hungered.”
Mathew 4:2
Feeling is part of what make us complete as human
beings. Feeling is embedded inside the soul part of a man and expressed or
through our emotions. The reason why we behave the way we do can be narrowed
down to the working of our soul and emotions, our feelings most times go a long
way in deciding our action as a human beings, therefore wrong emotions or
feelings always leads to wrong actions and vice versa. Many people have lost it
in life because of the way they feel; feelings have caused many untold hardships
and sorrows because they allow feelings to interfere in decision making.
Feelings are peculiar to the flesh, the flesh relates to its immediate environment
through feelings.
Feelings exist only in the natural realm but the
spiritual man operates only by faith, when you are natural (In the flesh) you
feel, but when you are operating in the spirit you stop feeling. The above
scripture is the encounter of Our Lord Jesus Christ with devil after fasting
and praying, He was ‘feeling’ hungry because he was in the flesh and the devil
wanted to capitalize on that by telling him to turn stones to bread. As a
believer we should be careful about the way we feel or rather stop feeling and
always walk in the Spirit, it is not about the way you feel but what you
believe, learn to neglect the way you feel and never allow your feeling to make
decisions for you but rather be logical and reason it out. You are blessed and
highly favoured!
