CHAPTER ONE

Emotion:

Humans and Emotions are feelings, sentiment, reaction, passion, excitement, and sensation. In every activity that every human must endure, we are constantly dealing with humans and emotions, how we treat others, how we negotiate with others, how we interact with others, and how we love others, how we learn, and listen to others.

Our entire human mind, body, eyes, and ears relate to our emotions, seeing, hearing and agreeing, or disagreeing are all constantly our human efforts to make connections to every human emotion and ability to react to every situation. Human interaction can build our emotions into positive strengths and more confident individuals,  depending on what we allow our hearing, thoughts, and mindset to lead us into. It can lead an individual to be withdrawal from positive strength or into a negative emotion of hatred, pain, and suffering.

Honestly writing these emotional experiences with the bible and human emotion has encouraged me to see my emotion through the Bible's perspective. Indeed it has helped and strengthens me to refocus from current emotional problems encountered in life and learning to trust more and more with the Lord to help me.

The following studies are based on biblical principles and scriptures that relate to our human emotional experiences and struggles, for all have encountered many emotional struggles whether with our Christian faith or non-Christians. Our daily individual and psychological struggles depend on our emotion on how to manage our problems, for my sake, I trust more with the help of the creator God. No doubt that these bible studies relate to psychological issues with the world systems of psychological matters. These studies are based on personal Christian faith with God and his son Christ alone.

My views are from the perspective views of The Bible’s Humans and Emotions How I sought the Lord's strength may not be the same as how others go through with their emotion, but I trust that we can relate to each other with every positive attitude for our betterment. It’s truly is an amazing love of Gods’ The Holy Spirit and the power working through me has helped me along my journey of life and struggles with every hardship in my emotional journey. I have chosen the part of thinking and moving forward to focus and keep on keeping on the positive direction towards another day, week, month, and years into the future.

From my personal experience journey, did I sought and seek help for counseling with other professionals and sources here in Australia? Yes, I did try! But there are rulers and authorities and controlling powers beyond my capabilities. There are many helpers out there but not for me yet; it was a matter and case to bring it before the throne of grace and mercy of Jehovah, it’s about faith and believing in the unseen always trusting God as my Savior.

Recalling back, I remember one day a pastor’s wife from the Four Square Church in Geraldton called me at home and made an appointment for her and other sisters from her church to come by and visit me at home, she also came with a bottle of (anointing oil) the olive oil that they have prayed over it and ask the Lord to bless it for anointing and blessings, etc.

We listened as she shares some scriptures about anointing oil and then at the end of her sharing we all agreed and prayed together, then she anointed my forehead with the anointing oil. May the LORD bless them.

After the anointing oil experience in 2012, I attended a Christian conference gathering at the Holiday Inn in Perth. And then after that, I fasted for nearly one month; all I had was cabbage soup at night, I couldn’t believe it that, I had that strength and will power to fast for that long, it wasn’t in my natural ways to do that, the fasting was to breakthrough in all areas of my walk with the LORD.

Everything was now in position at our new place and all was organizing with the house. I had nothing else to do; every time I look around me I see trails of my beloved daughter and it was so much to bear, I decided to do something else to replace my hurt into something good. I had the choice of whether to sleep away with my pains in bed or sit up and do the Bible study with Bible and human emotion. I honestly could have been so depressed and in bed, but I chose to listen to God’s Spirit and do what the LORD wants me to do by studying and learning from the magazine Bible and Human Emotion. I took the magazine out Jesus Wept and started the following bible study again and onto my computer. Writing all my notes down into this book. But then the writer has to come to a stop since we had to move again from Geraldton to Gold Coast in 2014.

After settling down in the Gold Coast, searching through my computer notes and realized that I had never get to complete the beginning of my studies. I discovered that from lesson one to lesson four-study reference was misplaced or erased from my computer since 2011. But nothing is going to stop me from studying the emotional journeys of the faithful men and women in bible times.

I also realize that I’ve misplaced the study book. I have been searching for it for the past few years and wondered how was I supposed to finish this bible lesson. Then finally we moved out from Pacific Pines to Arundel in 2017, that’s when I fumble across the magazine again Jesus Wept I thought’’ Well’ this it, I've got finish these studies! Welcome back! Everything has a beginning, so I must get to the beginning and complete this important part of my study lessons. Alone this personal study, I kept losing few pages on my computer, and had to redo it all over again, and again, it’s a small study book but it took me years and years to complete it. I thought to myself this is my commitment; I had to persevere and complete it. The facts of the matter that I love bible studies and it is a true book all over the world and studied by many in many different languages in the world, so as it is very important for the mind, soul, and spiritual gain.

Jesus Wept: The gospel writers’ record two occasions on which Jesus wept, Jesus sorrow came from a deep feeling for others, Isaiah, 53, Confirms that Jesus was a man of sorrow. Jesus gave way to tears. At that, the Jews began to say: See what affection he had for him! John 11:35, Jesus the man of sorrow, a man of compassion and man of God, the Prince of Peace, the Son of God, Jesus would weep with his people. When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he groaned within himself and become troubled. In verse 33, when Jesus saw her weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. This bible verse is very meaningful to our emotions to see how Jesus can relate to his people weeping and wailing. When he saw them weeping and wailing Jesus too wept openly. Jesus the Son of God shows us that he cared enough for them to weep with humans in their time of sorrow. These help us to see it in God’s perspective that in times of emotional changes, Gods’ Son Jesus Christ was a perfect example to reflect on our life as our savior and our emotional strength. The Spirit of God was with him and with us to bear and wept with us and others with the love and divine strength to uphold us with His righteous right hand. With every human emotion, we express compassion in many ways like Jesus expressing his compassion. One thing is to feel compassionate most people do that but it’s another to express it by concrete deeds. Showing compassion towards others who are hurting is to show them, love, through words and actions. Sadness, pain, and sorrow are not wrong, these are not sinful or lack of faith or trust, every human response to life’s turmoil in with every emotion, after all, Jesus himself responded with emotions.

If we look around us the world's existence of sinful reaction and emotion, the emotion would often bring us great pain and suffering. What kind of an image, if a person who wouldn’t care to show kindness, love, compassion, sympathy, fear, or sorrow and emotional support? Only someone alive but dead to the living almighty God.

The bible mentions that Jesus is the image of God in him. God is Love, kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Jesus saw insensibility of heart: After looking around at them with indignation being thoroughly grieved at the insensibility of their hearts, he said to the man: Stretch out your hand," And he stretched it out and his hand was restored. Mark. 3. 5. Jesus was sorrowful:

He said to them: I am deeply grieved even to death. Stay here and keep on the watch. Mark. 14. 34.Even before Jesus came to earth the prophet Isaiah describes him and prophecies about Jesus: He was despised and was avoided by men, a man who was meant for pains and was familiar with sickness. It was as if his face were hidden from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no account. Truly he carried our sicknesses, and he bore our pains. But we considered him as plagued, stricken by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgression: He was crushed for our errors. He bore the punishment for our peace, and because of his wounds, we were healed. Isaiah. 53. 3-5.

Jesus was not a cruel man; a harsh man, uncaring, ignorant, arrogant, or proud, even others might say he was weak; he was human as any human. Jesus was kind, loving, caring, and gentle in spirit; he is comforting, and understanding to all our problems that we face through every experience as humans on earth. That is how we must know that God is full of love and compassion; Jesus was the image of God, showing the love of God to all who were suffering in sickness and death.

Death was not God’s original purpose or plan for all mankind. Death came through Adam, why did death come through Adam? He was warned but he ignored to listen. He got carried away with what he saw and his emotion carried him away from the truth. Hebrew expresses the incredible truth about our Lord Jesus Christ: For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathies with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have but without sin. Hebrew, 4.15,

We are today thousands of years from the tree of life: We are damaged goods and contrary to the myths of evolution. We are getting worse. Let’s refer to Genesis. "Thus, Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food and the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Genesis, 2,9, Sin has taken its toll on our emotions and they control our moods to swing to whomever, however, and whatever we choose to be in our life emotions to be taken better of us for comfort's sake or out of control.

Emotions are also chemical imbalance and may cause physical and phycology problems, and may need professional help. But for God-fearing people knowing the truth about our loving Jehovah gives us hope through our Lord Jesus Christ: Even though we mess our day up or do the wrong things or say the wrong words! Instead of being in control of our emotions, our emotions control us. The bible tells us to Love never fails. But there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 1. Corinthians. 13.8. Swearing, bad-mouthing of other tongues will be done away with.   Truly emotions are a vital part of human personality. They can be powerful motivators both good and evil. Reading, from 2, Samuel, 13, 1,

Emotion and behavior are not clear direct part, for some painful, emotion may bring us closer to God in repentance, and or others may give up faith in God because of struggles in life becoming too emotional and painful to deal with.

Let’s read on how Jesus glimpse the future: while walking down the Mount of Olives and
