Emotions : Living On The Promises Or In The Prison

Contributed by David Yarbrough on Jan 23, 2001

God’s desire for us to live by faith not by our feelings, when we live by faith we live on the promises, but when we live according to our feelings we end up living in an emotional prison held captive by our emotions.

Second Person Of The Trinity
