Overcome or Overcome

“I Feel so I Will…”
~ or ~
“I have Faith so I Will…”

Feelings or Faith,
~ which one ~
Leads - your will?

Because what you Will,
You Will – Full-fill.

Everybody believes something. I believe that we are created to be led by our convictions. However, we also have feelings which are strong and easily accessible. So there’s a fight, a war within, and each side is looking for loyalty.

It’s easy to be led by feelings, but the problem with fulfilling your feelings is that there’s too much fluctuation. All the ups and downs tend to tear you up and break you down. And progress is slow when there’s no definite direction to go. Then you end up looking back and having a bad feeling attack, because of your feelings that tell you you lack. So feelings are not, made to follow but made - to follow. To follow faith that is. In other words, it’s good when feelings express faith, not faith trying to express feelings. Following feelings is futile because feelings are always changing, so be led by convictions because they are not always rearranging.

Being led by convictions enables us to get rid of contradictions. When what we do is determined by what we believe then our will is able to remain constant. And when our will is consistent then we are able to make progress in the direction of our dreams.

Challenges and disappointments will come. So will we overcome or be overcome? Feelings will overcome while faith overcomes.

So follow your faith and let it be enhanced by your feelings. Because what you will, you will – fulfill.

1 John 5:4
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.
NKJV
