sermonette: Developing EQ to Overcome Fear


Bill Onisick
Given 06-Jan-18; Sermon #1413s; 19 minutes

Description: (hide)

A sommelier must have extraordinary geographical, gustatory, and horticultural skills. Similarly, we must have a high level of emotional intelligence. The emotional cues which influence our behavior are complex, most likely tracing back to traumatic events in our youth, events which demand compensatory physiological response. Anger and fear invariably have their roots in early feelings of inadequacy or fear of abandonment. Satan and his world have programmed our emotions to relish pain avoidance in order to protect ourselves from unpleasant memories. Only by replacing EQ (emotional intelligence) with GQ (Godly intelligence) can we ever experience joy and the peace which passes all understanding. As we realize God's power, we can replace pessimistic attitudes with joy, as it were, "turning lemons into lemonade." As we become God-aware, we can effectively block Satan from robbing us of our joy and peace.
