are you a emotional wreck?

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, ALL praises to the most high YHWH baruk h'shem! ~ weh "baruka ha'bo beh shem YHWH" >>> "blessed is your coming in the name of YHWH" @ Yahushua.
                               I pray all is well with you and yours and will soon be even better.

In this very brief but important message I'd like to address another topic that rarely gets dealt with correctly, - that one particular unguarded door that lets the adversary have entrance into your existance. The particular door I'm referring to is that open portal of "emotion and sensitivity".
We for some reason or another rarely examine ourselves and evaluate whether or not we are too emotional and too sensitive at times, true ~ emotion is part of the human condition BUT too much of almost anyting can be bad at times.
Even the adversary himself ( no matter how powerful he may profess to be ) still needs our assistance to enter in and do his damage, and we are more than quick to point at the "devil worshipers" that summon that evil nuttcase and also those that practice any kind of devination as being spiritually corrupt and irresponsible and we fervently criticize their twisted desire to fellowship with the demons of the darkside, BUT do we realize that we can also entertain adversarial spirits although unaware?

example: How many times in this walk of truth we are in have you encountered yourself or heard of a teacher or moreh or a elder or just a brother or sister in the faith have a difference of opinion in doctrine or whatever? .....then fall out and throw temper tantrums to the point that they no longer respect each other or fellowship all (sound familiar?)

The english words sensitivity and emotion are not even in the bible not so much as one time and often when you do when you do see such references to these they are recorded as: "I will have compassion on thee / them" or "he was moved with compassion" or "having compassion one of another" etc..., which are intended to change a unpleasant circumstance and this form is only used about 40 times in the entire bible, BUT in another form of emotion we can read: "his anger was kindled in him" or "provoked to anger" or "whosoever is angered with his brother" etc...., many of these are NOT pleasant circumstances and this form is used over 230 times. We can derive from this understanding that uncontrolled emotion is not what we primarily need to lead us or make decisions.

When it comes to us in our daily lives how many passages do we apply to keep our negative emotions and sensitivties in check?..... lets check a few:

mishle' / proverbs 12:16, A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

mishle' / proverbs 14:17, He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

mishle' / proverbs 14:29, He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

mishle' / proverbs 15:13, A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken

mishle' / proverbs 15:18, A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

mishle' / proverbs 16:32, He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

mishle' / proverbs 19:19, A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

mishle' / proverbs 22:24-25, Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

Romans 12:14-15, Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

James 12:19, Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith YHWH.

Matthew 15:15-17, Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

James 1:19-20, Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of Elohym.

Colosians 3:8-9, But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

These are just a few words of wisdom out of many examples and also instructions reminding us to squash all the negative emotional and overly sensitive mindset and behaviour because the writers surely knew it will surely lead to a open opportunity for the adversary and his minions.

Just sit and think about how many people you know get bent out of shape when you try to correct them on something they don't want to be corrected on, or even simply disagree with them, or even speak a admonition to a child that they don't want to hear - I bet the number is higher than it should be if you are honest! Think about how many times your spouse or your child almost took YOU to the point of no return. How many people at the workplace find ways to get under your skin especially if they have authority over you, or how about those unruly people in your neighborhood? Sit and think about how many social media contacts or online chat forum people that ticked you off ( because of some doctrine ) to the point you wanted to unsubscribe or permantly log off, .....see!

What we don't take into consideration often enough is that the lack of control of our negative emotion of anger often makes us vulnerable to the adversary and we invite him in just as fast as devil worshippers do! .....OH OH! ( This mostly comes from being too sensitive! ). Once we are aggravated enough to open that portal, the wicked one doesn't just come in and sit, he becomes very active by teaching us to over-react emotionally and to continually hold a grudge for any minute reason (sound familiar?). I bet if you tried without too much effort you could align the sins that YHWH hates to a emotional mindset of that sinner, we remember from proverbs 16:16-19, These six things doth YHWH hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. .......~ try telling anybody that is truly guilty of any of these errant behaviors that they are functioning wrong and they need to cease and desist and get their life together, .....then just stand back and watch the EMOTIONAL reaction and tirade! This will be a "emotional trainwreck" in full effect. Not only will they give place to the wicked one, they will lock him in so he can't even get away if he wanted to.

Have you ever sat and meditated on what Yahushua tried to show us as recorded by Luke that was later collated to chapter 11?
Lets re-visit Luke chapter 11:24-26, "....when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first". .......~ this is not spoken of much because most peoples heart's desire is to be delivered from demonic possesion permanently - but they really don't want to focus on the possibility re-possession! The whole issue here is the departed demon can only find rest in a place when he knows he can prosper, notice it didn't say he was "cast out" but he volutarily left no doubt looking for another soul to destroy and hoping to find others with portals he could enter but he found none!
note: Normally a possesed person causes those around him to get and stay prayed up and draw closer to YHWH so that they themselves don't get possesed.

That situation causes slim pickens for demons so they have to "get in anywhere they can fit in" and in this case the host thought he was in the clear when the unclean spirit left, BUT obviously he didn't through righteous behaviour shut down all access to the door / portal that the demon can go in and out of which had to include some type on sin or uncleanliness as a entry key ( proverbs 19:19 could possibly been a help here ).

Remember the words of wisdom James gave the sensible in his epistle? in James 4:7 we should always remember his teaching: "Submit yourselves therefore to Elohym. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". .......~ the best way to close those open portals that the adversary uses is to resist him and any method he uses to gain entrance and control you, ....especially those like PRIDE or EMOTION.

So if you are one of those that get a little "wroth" everytime the wind blows, I have a suggestion for you to keep that draft out of your life: SHUT THE DOOR!!!
selah and shalom
