Listen "Trust God, Not Feelings (June 30, 2025)"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textHave you ever made a decision based purely on emotion, only to regret it almost immediately? You're not alone. The human heart—our emotional compass—can lead us astray when we trust it blindly.In this powerful examination of emotions versus spiritual discernment, we dive deep into the biblical story of Jacob and Esau to uncover a profound truth: feelings can be manipulated, but God's word remains steadfast. Through Isaac's deception, we witness how physical senses—touch, smell, taste—were all used to mislead him into blessing the wrong son. Not because Jacob wasn't meant to be blessed, but because Isaac never consulted God about his intentions. His emotional attachment to Esau overrode what God had already decreed.This message challenges the popular notion of "following your heart" with Jeremiah's sobering reminder that "the human heart is the most deceitful of all things." Instead of allowing emotions to dictate our spiritual lives, we learn practical guidance for testing feelings against Scripture, submitting our hearts to God's examination, and seeking godly counsel from mature believers.Perhaps most liberating is the understanding that emotions don't always need to be resolved—they simply need to be felt. Many of us carry emotional burdens because we believe every feeling requires immediate action or resolution. But sometimes the most spiritual response is acknowledging the emotion, laying it at the foot of the cross, and continuing to walk by faith rather than feeling.Whether you're struggling with emotional decision-making or seeking greater spiritual discernment, this message offers biblical wisdom to help separate what feels right from what is spiritually true. Stop letting your emotions drive your spiritual life and start trusting the facts of God's word.
