What Is Needed in 2007

If God Is Going to Rule in Our Hearts then He Must Be Lord of Our

Emotions.

If Jesus Christ is to be Lord of my heart, then He must be Lord also of

my emotions and affections. It is here that the outward presence of

the indwelling Lord should be most demonstrated.

Our human emotions and reactions are many and varied like the

keyboard of a piano.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, there would be no sudden

outburst of rage or childish temper, no petty jealousy, no

mean thoughts or vicious backbiting, no fake flattery seeking

personal advancement.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, there would be pure and a holy quality about my emotions that

would be outstanding.

If you are ruling your own life, then you will display your emotions at

your own pleasure.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, people would see a visible change

in the way I act.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, He would have an opportunity to

display Himself.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, my whole character will change.

If Jesus were Lord of my emotions, people will recognize it, wonder,

and ask why, and Christ will be magnified in you.

The mind reasons, the emotions react, and the will responds in an

act of decision.

Often the will seems unreasonable, impetuous, stupid.

We blurt out a remark, then wish with all our hearts we had never said it.

We decide a course of action and then spend months, sometimes

years, in agony of remorse.

In the will, more than any other area of the human heart, the

selfishness of a person is displayed.

Looking Into the Mirror

The purpose of these lessons is to take heed to the warnings given by

God.
