Stuck emotions are something we carry to the grave. They have never helped us to advance spiritually, neither emotionally. As a stone in the way of progress, so it is in the way we live our life. YAHSHUA encourages us to let go of them, for they are destroyers of our relationship with God; destroyers of peace and joy, which emanate from the fruit of Holy Spirit. For it is, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against these things there is no law (Gal. 5:22-23). People of faith will walk by the Holy Spirit -Those who have their life in God. The Word says, Blessed and favored by God are the people of faith (Gal. 3:9). Faith is the force behind all victories own. As we are forgiven, we must forgive others. Otherwise, we will stand guilty before our God. Holding emotions against others, we are holding them guilty and holding ourselves slaves of sin. The body suffers, marked by bitterness that will take us to the grave, if we do not rid of destructive stuck emotions. YAHSHUA said, If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained (John 20:23).
“When an individual is traumatized, especially early on in life, the memory of the trauma is stored both in the brain and the body,” explains Carla Marie Manly, PhD, a clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, and author based in Sonoma, California. “As a result, if healing does not occur, the traumatic incident can impede healthy development.” It will be a vicious cycle in the life of that individual, for stuck emotion robs the essence of vitality of the soul. Always turned to the past that individual will never succeed. Paul said, Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize to which God in Christ YAHSHUA is calling us upward (Phil. 3:13b-14). The point in time in which the trauma happened will always be alive in the brain; the body in return, will suffer. As a matter of fact, anger affects the heart and liver; shock attacks the kidneys; stress weakens the heart and brain; worry weakens the stomach; fear affects the adrenals and kidneys; anxiety weakens the digestion system and sadness or grief weakens the lungs. The physical part of the body is very much connected with the soul. You see, unprocessed emotions will not vanish just for ignoring them. Anger, for example, can bring us persistent back pain; the emotional breaking of the heart is for real, not just symbolic. The brain, which is the emotional center of the body, is connected with all the organs of the body. They always communicate with each other, accomplishing what they were created for through the limbic system- the set of brain structure, supporter of emotion, behavior, memory, and olfaction and sense of smell.
Emotions, the feelings that expresses what is inside our being, must be controlled by the Holy Spirit. The past experience is gone; it should not be any longer part of our life, for it will only bring us diseases and perhaps premature death. YAHSHUA said, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). So, let’s leave behind the things of the past in order to pursue that which God has for us to accomplish while in this earth always like Paul, “straining forward to what lies ahead.” Remember Lot’s wife. She went nowhere, when she looked back. Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will see the Lord (Heb. 12:14).
