Roaring lions--symptoms of being out of balance in our boundaries

These are notes from my journal about a year ago. I was just starting to see some health in the area of my boundaries and I wanted to preserve how it feels to be out of balance so I could go back and review so I can stay within healthy boundaries for myself.

The ladies in my Bible study know I call these symptoms "Roaring Lions" since God will allow us to be so uncomfortable so we will run back to the safety of the hedge of the Kingdom of God. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit are "symptoms" of being within God's boundaries for us. When we are void of peace or joy then we can ask ourselves: Am I out of God's will? Am I allowing others to overstep my boundaries? Have I allowed satan to steal and destroy in my life because of my lack of knowledge about God's will for my life? Jesus said he came that I might have life and have it more abundantly so when I'm robbed of joy or peace or my health I know I can rightfully pursue what is mine and demand that satan relinquish what is rightfully mine.

Roaring Lions--
feeling out of balance
--yo yo feeling of going from being super busy to shutting out the whole world so you can be at peace
--you are wishy-washy one minute on disciplining kids or the next time you are way over the top being punitive or harsh
--changing your mind from day to day about what will bring you joy and peace
--someone in your life just can't take the drama any longer...
--
living life from mountain top to valley
--joy is constant and happiness is a choice.
--what are you speaking aloud to your spirit?

emotions like a pendulum
--you are considering yourself a coo coo clock of emotions. Very happy to very depressed within a 48 hour period.
family members taking you for granted
--you are overwhelmed with too much responsibility and no one seems to notice
--you said yes, yes, yes, yes, NO! and your head popped off
--you felt guilty about saying no and changed your mind the next hour.
--you said yes but felt very taken advantage of...no one can take advantage of you if you don't let them
feeling anxious for no good reason (the out of the blue type of anxiety)
--panic attacks while doing everyday normal activities
--avoiding normal activities for fear of having an anxiety attack
stuffing feelings or feeling raw years after forgiveness has taken place
--stuffing feelings are still there--deep and building pressure
fearing people and what they think over what God thinks
--you say yes, because if you say no then they will be disappointed and then you will feel so guilty that you will have to say yes, double next time
--what does it mean to fear God?
needing to learn to say no and sticking to it
--you can learn to say no. It does not hurt as much as saying yes, and falling flat on your face by being out of God's will
being motivated by guilt
--allowing others to control you with guilt is turning your back on what God intended for you to do
--learn to break the torment of rejection in your life
--letting others cry out to God and you not having to be their savior
--no joy, no peace and tired all the time
--So tired of being so tired?
fearful of reaching out to minister
--after years of saying yes and being miserable you go out of balance the other direction and fear helping anyone because you fell flat on your face out of God's will
wrong thinking that pervades normal thought process--not taking captive every thought...
--equating God's love with doing. Thinking the Father wants you to do every good deed that comes your way
feeling like if you are not "kind" then you are a failure as a Christian
--being kind is not always kind--you can cripple people by always doing for them.
depressed and can't function normal everyday activities
--you've reached critical melt-down and it will now take a clean up of mass production to make you whole again.

Where to start?
--getting a healthy view of God the Father
--renewing your mind with the Word of God
--repenting of not seeking Him and His will first
--daily asking God for wisdom about what you should be apart of
--stop living on what worked last season of your life
--fueling up--God's Word as meat Cake is sweeter but only has value for a minute but meat will sustain your body and give you the energy to complete what God desires
