Where do all the bad feelings go?
We go through different seasons in our lives. Lately I’ve been bombarded with negative thoughts. I’ve grown enough in the Lord to know I can’t act upon those negative thoughts. But what do I do? I must take the thoughts into captivity. How? By filtering those thoughts though the lens of the cross. Those thoughts come through my flesh from many different sources. If I put my flesh to death then I will no longer be a receptor of those thoughts. How do I put my flesh to death? By starving it. When I feed my spirit with the words of God and dominate it with the same my flesh begins to rot. The temptation is to nurse my flesh back to health by having a self indulgence party. Oh, I can find people that would join me it. There are many people that love to gossip and just plain tear down the world. But that won’t help me, no I’ll starve my old nature and choose to live in the nature God has birthed in me.
