Feelings Are Not Facts

Bob

2 Cor 5:7 (NIV) - We live by faith, not by sight

She lives by her feelings. She lives by her thoughts. What she thinks is her strength is precisely what the enemy turns around and uses against her, to deceive her. You must NOT live like that!

Christianity 101 - Feelings are real, but they are not facts. And our thoughts are prone to error. Consequently, we should not allow our thoughts and feelings to control our decisions. That is a proven recipe for disaster! If our thoughts and feelings were an adequate and trustworthy guide to life, then God would not have needed to give us His Word in the first place, right? And He would not have needed to send the Holy Spirit afterward, right? Some indications that you might be living by feelings rather than faith include:

  • You can’t handle difficulty.
  • Your anger controls you.
  • You cut yourself off from relationships.
  • You live by what feels good.
