Pendulum swinger of emotions

You want to know what erks me, when someone in the body of Christ undermines what I feel as a prophet. Ok, I get it, you can't be ran completely by emotions BUT as a prophet, emotions are a big driving force that drives the prophet to birth something out. Those same emotions is what causes a prophet to go into intercession travail and birth out God's will on this earth.

So, no, I shouldn't just trust God but I need to also FEEL so that can bring about change. Sometimes, as a prophet, I feel so misunderstood. I'm not sharing my feelings because I want sympathy or I lack faith. It's because it's in those emotions that the Lord is doing something. The Lord has took me through many fires that refined me and he still is shaping this vessel. In the past my emotions would feel really heavy and everyone around me told me to basically get over it without giving me the revelation that those same crazy emotions of mine were meant to birth out something amazing in this earth. It was meant to bring transformation and a shift to the present reality.

So there I was, with all the weight of my emotions looking hunchback from carrying what was meant to be birthed out. Man, did I loose some inches off my height. So if this sounds like you and you have felt like a ranging pendulum swinger with your emotions, I will challenge you next time to ask the Lord the purpose of your emotions. It may be an area of healing that the Lord is exposing but it could most definitely be a prayer burden. Please don't carry it on your back like I did. I didn't know any better. No one told me it was meant for intercession. No one told me that they were so intense because the Lord wanted my attention and the intensity was the labor pains. The Lord uses our senses and he uses our emotions. That's not off limits to him.

The enemy uses our emotions to get us off track but God uses it to speak to us, there's a difference. As time goes on the Lord will bring a beautiful balance out of the craziness of your emotions. Self control is after all one of the fruits of the Spirit but until then, go on you pendulum swinger. Swing where the Spirit of the Lord swings you.
