Emotional breakdown operates like an unexpected time bomb, that set the soul on fire.
It ticks from hurt, insults, rejection, condemnation, and anything that puts the heart into treat.
When it finally goes off, it affects a lot of people around you. The friend, the family, the coworker. It is very effective and leaves a lot of damage.
The temper is never an easy thing to control. But because its a trigger to our emotions, we must.
Once it goes off, it can never come back.
Take control of the emotion, and you can win over any explosion.
Speak spiritual words over your life, sing inspirational hymns and songs. Encourage the soul that it is okay. Ask God to heal and deliver it!
Tell the heart not to be troubled.
Ignore things that tends to shift your concentration. Focus on only things above. Trust the Word of God. And learn to accept the things around you that you cannot change; People that you cannot understand.
With that, there can never be a breakdown.
Your emotion lies in your soul, and if the soul is always unsettled and always at war, your salvation can never be certain. Because its the soul that will see God after death, while the body return to the dust. Everything relies on it.

2 Corinthians 5:17-18
[17]Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
[18]Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation...
We are a new creation in God, no longer born of the dirt, but of the Holy Spirit. The first Adam was born of dust, but the second and last Adam (Christ) was born of God.
Today we carry this nature and this life. The life of Christ powers and quickens our inner being.
1 Peter 1:18-19:
"[18] Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, [19] but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
We are made the righteousness of God, having the ability to live out God's nature and to stand rightly with the government of the Godhead.
2 Corinthians 5:21:
"[21] For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
The new man is in Christ, and Christ is in him (2 Cor. 5:17). In reality, God is one with us. His presence is always with us (John 14:17), which grants us the right to live above every condemnation. We are justified by God. Therefore, we must not have the nature to sin (1 John 3:9).
The new creation in Christ is made new in the spirit of man (Eph. 1:21), the soul, being renewed daily (Rom. 12:1-2), and the body, keeping it under subjection against all perverse and immoral things (2 Tim. 2:21-26).
If the soul is afflicted while we are believers, it is possible that although the spirit is renewed, the soul is not yet fully converted. Thus, it constantly sins, lusts, and desires only the things of the world. The new nature must go through the full process of restoration in spirit, soul, and body daily.
The same goes for the body. If the mouth is always defiled by guile, speaking lies, and stealing while being a Christian, it must go through sanctification and renewal daily to be fully delivered from these worldly characteristics.
Man is made to reign in life through the power of Christ. Apart from the nature to not sin, we must live above sickness and death (Rom. 8:11), above poverty (Deut. 8:18), and above the demonic realm (Eph. 1:21).
By living by the Word of God, studying daily, and declaring it over our lives, we can attain these things. Man must live as a being of prayer because we are helped through prayer. The Holy Spirit empowers us when we walk accordingly.
As heirs of the Kingdom, we have an identity on Earth. That identity is to fully function with divine authority over our spirit, soul, and body, and over the demonic realm. Man must rule over these things because that is the true nature of being made a new creation.

Salvation with it's Assurance and Evidence
We walk confidently in the assurance of salvation, knowing that we are saved by the Beloved. This assurance lives as evidenced in our lives.
Our lives should be a living testimony of faith, constantly drawing near to God (Heb. 10:22), and showing hope in our attitude to serve (Heb. 6:11) and in our understanding to love one another (Col. 2:2).
With such knowledge and evidence, we are internally renewed day by day. We embrace the joy of the Lord and His peace constantly covers our feet; giving us peace with God (Eph. 2:14). This internal evidence grants us complete rest in dominion and power.
His assurance reminds us that we have escaped the great condemnation. Thus, we walk with a clear conscience, free from sin and guilt through repentance and the blood of Jesus Christ (Rom. 9:1-5).
Externally, we must testify of this, sharing the testament of Christ Jesus and His full manifestation in us (a Christian life). "...Teaching us to say 'no' to ungodly and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age" (Tit. 2:12).
Our assurance of eternal salvation helps us walk as practicing believers, loving one another, continuing in the undiluted word of God, and bearing fruit each day.
Knowing the greatness of this gift, we understand that we will be bombarded every day, as the carnal mind is always active in opposing the truth. But as Romans 8:7-8 instructs us, we must take our thoughts captive by the Word of God, renewing our minds each day.
We must turn away from the worldly system, its deceits and lusts, avoiding anything unclean, and discipling those around us with the gospel of Christ.
Satan is an adversary who will never cease to try to hinder our progress, acting as a stumbling block. But through daily submission to God, he will flee.
Salvation is a hedge of protection around us, and within that wall, we have all that Christ Jesus died for us to have. We no longer need to carry the heavy weight of sin and shame because that ransom was paid on the cross.

The Confidence of Our Identity in Christ
When we took on Jesus Christ, we also embraced His death, participating in His crucifixion with the ultimate outcome which is His eternal glory. Persecutions and trials will inevitably come, but we are assured they are merely tests. After emerging victorious, we will don the Crown of Life in glory.
Through baptism and public confessions, we are baptized into His burial. At that moment, everything of the old self dies, and a new garment is bestowed upon us. Therefore, if we persist in living according to our old nature and its characteristics, we are not fully embracing His truth. We must discard all that belongs to the old self and embrace the new.
His infusion of life through the Holy Spirit is what transforms us. It corrects and instructs us, renewing our minds and aligning our hearts with His.
Just as Christ was resurrected, we too rose with Him. Romans 6:5 states, "For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection." Knowing this, our old selves were crucified with Him so that the power of sin might be nullified, freeing us from its enslavement.
In this resurrection, we are enthroned with Him, exalted above all principalities and powers, with authority over every name. Sin and death are placed beneath our feet. Therefore, whatever we bind on Earth is bound in Heaven, and whatever we loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven.
This is the confidence we carry each day, the identity garment bestowed upon His church. We are His church, complete in Him. Continue to tell this to yourself and keep a reminder when the devil tries to shift your focus.
