Turn trauma into triumph

God gives us emotions for DIVINE purposes. In the Bible God shows us His emotions: love, hate, compassion, joy, grief. So of course we are going to have emotions, He created us in His image. But what happens when the enemy takes our emotions and uses them in a way that is destructive and deceptive? The enemy will take an injustice in our past and bring it up to our emotions, then we live in the present with emotions of the past. ⁣⁣

We might say that we have a past trauma that we just can’t get over. I know this feeling, it is a place of justified emotional idolatry. We can idolize the past hurt to keep us from facing the future that God has for us. To let go of the trauma, is letting go of an identity that is not meant for us to become. God wants to take the trauma and turn it into a triumph! And how does He do this...through our emotions!!! Satan will always attack our emotions and turn them in on us through condemnation, insecurities, fear, offense, self doubt, and even doubting God. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We all have emotions and God wants to show His glory through us and through our emotions! Emotions are real, what reality do you want your emotions to live from, God’s truth or Satan’s deception? ⁣⁣
