Preface

Two women psychologists were seen on a viral video making a case for a more sympathetic view of pedophiles on TEDx Talk. The video generated a lot of anger and disgust from almost everyone in the comment section, and one of the ladies in the video made a statement that suggested the issues in this book are a real need for our society today.

She said, we do not control what we feel and that this is the basis for which she believes that a pedophilic feeling is not the fault of the pedophile but something beyond their control and so they should be judged more compassionately with more toleration for even such a dark sexual attraction to the most vulnerable people in the world, children.

A few years ago, I observed how the same arguments were made for people with attraction for people of the same gender and now that argument seems to be gaining some ground at several levels of government. People claim to feel helpless when it comes to the way they feel and rather than ask for help, they accept their feeling as a life sentence about which they can do nothing. This is how people continue to justify behaviors that are sinful by God’s standard, but then there is a double standard because the same people who want their feeling to be tolerated will not tolerate the feelings of murderers, thieves, and those who criticize them for being wrong. The truth is that nobody wants to live in a world where emotions are king, and feelings are the judge of right and wrong.

Every man is responsible for the way they feel. It is possible to create your own feelings, but we have authority over what we permit to incite our feelings. Knowing what to do when we feel a certain way is also our responsibility.

What if you could experience total joy, unending peace, practical faith, and live a life of perpetual victory with the ability to exert the same upon your environment creating an atmosphere of righteousness, peace, and joy for everyone around you? You would become so contagious with the overflowing joy and peace coming from your center to the rest of your life and to the people around you.

Peace means so much today that not even money can buy, but knowledge of the Lord and the art of surrender thoroughly mastered will make peace a practical experience amid so much chaos in and around us. Most people grow up accepting the lies that there is nothing they can do about their feelings and emotions, so they just let it run. A life that is run by emotions will be ruined and will ruin other lives. There is a grand design for how emotions can be put under control and harnessed to achieve perfect peace and fulfill God’s highest pleasure in this life. The only thing that grows without any effort is weeds, not a garden full of fruits and vegetables.

An understanding of the nature of man and how his emotions operate in conjunction with the other parts of the human composition will empower man to be able to put emotions in their rightful place and the spirit of man in the driver’s seat again. God made man to live by listening to the Creator and not by reasoning or relying on feelings caused by the creatures. Man was made to live by revelation and not by the senses of his own flesh. God’s divine order for man at creation was altered the moment man began to make decisions on what is good or bad based on feelings rather than by the Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

It is out of order for man to let his physical senses and emotions lead in his major life decisions, determination, actions, and relational processes. Destinies are derailed, lives destroyed, relationships severed, and a circle of unfortunate situations continue until there is a revelation of the new creation order, and kingdom provisions for processing thoughts, desires and imaginations are intentionally embraced.

The goal of this book is to create an awareness of God’s divine provision for experiencing unending peace and increasing joy through knowledge. It aims to bring you into an ever-increasing flow and endless circles of peace, love,
