Hi brother John,
I’m not sure why, but today at work I began to think on going by your feelings, and the Spirit gave me these thoughts:
Feelings and senses are two different things. Your five physical senses (hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste) come from the outside. Feelings come from the inside. Your senses can be fooled. The feelings that come from the Spirit cannot be fooled, because God cannot be fooled.
I guess when you think about it, it makes sense that the two are completely different. But, I had never really thought about it.
Is there such a thing as having feelings that we can’t trust? I know that we can have wrong thoughts, but what about wrong feelings?

Hi Vince!
Solomon said, “The thoughts of the righteous are right.” If our hearts are pure, we can trust what comes out of it, both the thoughts and the feelings. And you are certainly correct in saying that the feelings which the Spirit gives us are not produced by our five senses. Those holy feelings are not from anywhere or anything of earth.
