SUPERNATURAL Transformation Change Your Heart Into God Heart

Some church denominations teach (or imply) that to show emotion is an act of the “flesh”; others may not go that far, but they still do not encourage the members of their congregations to display their feelings openly. God gave us emotions and feelings to enable us to connect with other people and to express ourselves; therefore, they are both real and necessary. Where churches have shut down the demonstration of emotion, they have sometimes squelched a genuine move of the Holy Spirit, because what the people were feeling in their hearts, prompted by the Spirit, could not be expressed and acted upon. In the Western church, many people do not seek a manifestation of God’s supernatural revelation or His supernatural works. Some people are indifferent toward the idea of experiencing the power of God’s Spirit, while others reject the legitimacy of the idea outright. Many believers simply want to hear God’s Word preached and to practice certain customs and traditions associated with going to church, so that they may remain comfortable and entertained. They don’t really want the manifest presence of God in their midst, and they don’t want to make the necessary personal sacrifice of dying to their sinful nature in order to grow closer to God.
