Galatians 5:24

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  

Our flesh should be controlled, and we are not to let our feelings rule.  The flesh will throw a tantrum if we let it, and offense will quickly come, which then will block blessings in our lives.  We can’t go by our feelings because feeling change.  When the Spirit rules our flesh and feelings, we can walk in peace and rule over circumstances.
