*Ephesians 4:17-18 ( KJV);* This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind; Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.
*ALIENATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD II*
When a believer’s understanding is darkened, they are alienated from the life of God through ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart.
In other words, the life of God is still there, but they are alienated from it due to ignorance, which refer to the mind. This is where most Christians live their lives separated from the life of God within, due to their own ignorance of the spiritual truth.
In His Word , God declares that by His stripes , you were healed ( 1Peter 2:24). You look at yourself and ask , ” Is that cancerous tumor gone?” Still feeling pain, emotionally drained, and fearful, you continue, ” God says I’m healed.
By adopting that attitude, you’ve allowed your fives senses to dominate you more than God’s Word. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you, but you didn’t believe it.
You let your mind be controlled by what it saw in the physical realm more than the spiritual realm. Therefore, even though you have the resurrection life of God in your spirit, it won’t manifest in the physical realm because you’re carnally minded, which equals death.
In Ephesians 4:19, talks about believers , who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness [ controlled by what you feel], to work all uncleanness with greediness. There’s a godly type of feeling. You don’t just deny that your senses exist.
However, most people have gone beyond simply receiving sensory input to being dominated by them. They have left what God intended feelings to be and entered into lasciviousness [ where feelings run their lives not Faith]
Hallelujah!

*COUNSEL:* Feelings should be the caboose not the engine. They were designed to follow what you think, not lead the way. When you let the caboose act like the engine in your life, you’ll find yourself either going nowhere or heading straight for a train wreck. Live past feeling.
*PRAYER:* Loving Father , I thank you for this truth, it is changing my life, the eyes of my understanding has been enlighten. I choose to live past feeling, for I live by Faith, in might Name of Jesus. *Amen*
