Summary

How does God walk with us when negative emotions threaten to overwhelm and take charge? How are our emotions being made in His image and what does that process look like? The antidote to negative feelings is not to banish emotion from our spiritual development, but to discover the emotion of God that He wants us to experience instead.

Key Scriptures:

+ John 15:11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

+ Proverbs 18:10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. I'm your host, Jalen Voden, and we are so
0:08.2	excited to have you here with us. Today, we're continuing with this month's theme all about staying
0:14.4	fresh, which is where we're learning how to develop an inner territory with God that effectively
0:20.2	rules over all external circumstances. Part of the beauty of being human is the emotions that we
0:27.9	were created to express. But how does God walk with us when negative emotions threaten to
0:33.6	overwhelm and completely take charge? How are our emotions being made into his image and what
0:40.1	does that process even look like? Well, the antidote to negative feelings is not to banish
0:46.2	emotion from our spiritual development. It's to discover the emotion of God that He wants us to
0:52.4	experience instead. And hey, this clip comes directly from one of our mentoring series
0:58.9	on BrilliantTV.com, which is our online community designed to help you learn how to apply
1:05.5	the kingdom way of life to your everyday circumstances. Now, without further ado, let's jump in with
1:13.0	Graham Cook. I adore the reality of God's emotions because he's full of them. Take his
1:24.2	unchanging, perfect love. Love is a wonderful emotion. You don't just explain that you love
1:31.4	someone. You show them. You hug them or you share your heart with them. And when they smile,
1:37.8	you can't help but smile too. God is a God of joy. Enjoy is a rich emotion. He smiles a lot.
1:49.4	His eyes shine when he looks at us. He knows who he is. And he generously pulls us into the
2:01.3	fullness of his joy in us and over us. Every word he speaks to us creates his joy in us, John 1511.
2:13.1	I love that verse. Peace is definitely an emotion. That place of calm and untroubled rest.
2:22.7	Peace empowers the capacity to experience stillness. To take your raging anger, your boiling
2:34.8	frustration, your frenzied thinking and reduce it to a place of rest. To calm the storm is the
2:47.2	essence of being peaceful. The Prince of Peace in you can do all of that in you and through you.
2:57.3	Jesus had emotions. We know that he cried on many occasions. He felt happiness, grief,
