Margaret Mendenhall, Pastor and Author.What is God saying…
FAITH NOT FEELINGS
Never forget that your walk with me is a walk of faith, not a walk of feelings. Often the
way you feel has nothing to do with truth; your feelings are impacted by what is going on in the natural realm. Even lack of sleep can make you feel lethargic—but has
nothing to do with what is going on in my kingdom regarding your victory. To live in
victory, you must press on even when oppression is trying to overwhelm you.
If Paul and Silas had reacted by how they felt when beaten and shackled in the darkest part of the prison, they would have been crying instead of singing.
Your victory is assured if you continue in faith and are not moved by circumstances that come to buffet your flesh and soul. For this is the victory that overcomes anything in the world—even your faith!
