When I woke up one morning recently, the word "barometer" was on my mind.
What I discovered about the word can be a great help to those who experience emotional storms often - overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, fear or any other negative
emotion.
A barometer measures pressure in the atmosphere. Here is the difference between a low and a high barometer:
- When the atmospheric pressure is high, that means fair weather because the atmosphere can resist stormy weather patterns that try to come
in.
- When the atmospheric pressure is low, that means storms can come in because storms take the path of least resistance.
The Spirit revealed this truth to me: The only way to overcome emotional storms is to be full of the Spirit and
keep the atmospheric pressure inside yourself high.
That way, when pressures are high in your external circumstances, you will be able to overcome them because they can't get inside you - after all, you are already filled!
So think of your feelings as a barometer.
When you are full of the Spirit, you are full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
But when you are Spiritually low, you are habitually worried, troubled, fearful, doubtful, depressed, jealous, prone to anger, selfish, envious,
and lack self control.
Spiritual lows are like a warning light in a car; they alert you that you need to retreat to the Father and build up the spiritual pressure inside yourself again so that you can resist the storm.
Praying, meditating on the Father's word, and speaking it to yourself
throughout the day keeps the Spiritual pressure inside yourself high. These disciplines also inspire you to praise and worship Him.
When praise and worship fills your heart, then you will know that your Spiritual atmospheric pressure is high enough to overcome any storms that come your way.
I
hope you start practicing this principle every day. As you stay filled with the Spirit and are led by the Spirit, you will live a victorious life.
You will also draw others to Jesus because they will see the difference in you and want the peace that you have!
Be blessed in health, healing, and
wholeness,
