INTRODUCTION
THE NEW AND OLD TREASURES
New and Old Treasure is based on biblical human emotional characters and behaviors that go together with the teachings of Jesus Christ on his ministry, and like many other faithful men and women in their journey throughout the bible days.
When Jesus asks his followers:“ Did you get the sense of all these things? They said to him: “Yes” Then he said to them: “That's being the case, every public instructor, when taught respecting the kingdom of the heavens, is like a man, a householder, who brings out of his treasure store things new and old.” Matthew. 13. 51-52.
Besides sharing my testimonies and my personal experiences, I'll try my best to align with the bible's characters, sounds like storing the old things and bringing them out new things to learn from the bible perspective, I like reading and studying the scriptures praying and asking the LORD to help strengthen and guide me in his love’.
Despite all my failures in life, there is no doubt that deep down in my heart with daily prayers and supplication, I’ve learned to draw strength from God’s love to help guide me through every difficulty of life’s perspective issues and problems, looking back and learn from the good and bad times, but never stop moving forward towards the future, taking one day at a time week by week, then followed by a month and many more years to come.
First of all, I’m not an expert on psychological issues, but I have so much interest in this subject. I did apply at Charles Darwin University to do introductions to psychologist studies, which I did complete all the required units; but unfortunately, failed or was denied continuing with my studies for my chosen study topic. I guess it was because of the emotional journey that made me consider doing this study topic to help me cope along the way with my emotional journey. But not to worry, as God has planned for me to learn through the bible.
With regards to this bible-based studies, I thank God for his words, that I don’t have to be a psychologist to journey the bible with human emotional studies, I thought that the university studies will help me to cope with my emotional journey, but the LORD the God of Jacob, Abraham, and Isaac, has thought me to reshape and change my views to snap out of every negative aspect mindset and carry on with my current emotional situations and the environment that I'm in, excerpting it with the strength drawn from trusting, believing and hoping in the LORD.
We can do all things through GOD’s son Christ whom he has given his life and the promises of the holy spirit to help us all the time, with knowledge, strength, power, and wisdom. The scripture says that “But I can do all things for the sake of the good news to share it with others.” 1. Corinthians. 9. 23.
Furthermore, Job said: Now I know that you can do all things. And that nothing you have in mind to do is impossible for you. Job, 42, 2, God Jehovah can do anything through each one of us. Back in Geraldton 2011-2012, with the help of the power of God’s Spirit, I did my bible study based on the Bible and Human Emotion. I did not complete these studies as I had to enroll in doing business studies around the same time.
A special mention to Ruth my beloved sister-in-law she was again following on the bible Ruth foot steeps. She was truly a messenger in her Christian faith to share the love of compassion in Jesus Wept, her action was big enough for me to see her as God sent a messenger to help me cope with my emotional journey in weaknesses and strength to support me during the loss of my daughter. I was so emotional crying in pain, in that very moment she passes by me near my daughter's coffin and not even a word from her to me, I guess it was hard for her to say anything and not knowing what to say, it was just a brief silent moment passes by between us and she handed me the study bible magazine with the bible and human emotion edition in which the cover said, Jesus Wept. Days and weeks passed and sure enough out of my lonely and emotional downtimes, I found the study book and started reading it and learned so much from it that helped me to cope with the loss of my beloved one. It was a choice to listen and learn the words of encouragement by turning to the bible scriptures and study the psychological and emotional journey in humans with the bible's perspective.
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
