Now that you are living by the spirit of God, you are no longer a natural man. It is natural for your Emotions to rise in anger if you are abused. It is natural as a man for your Emotions to rise sexually when you see a naked woman. All of these are natural. Because your soul responds to whatever is leading in your Life(Meaning if you are ruled by flesh which devil has access to, then your soul will always respond to negative Emotions). When the body transfers the signal to the soul and the spirit(Holy Spirit) is not there to strike, then the soul accepts and implement the action. In essence, it is the Holy Spirit that creates this balance. If you don't have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, your Emotions will always mess you up. Don't get it wrong, we have positive Emotions created in you by God, but remember that everything has been polluted by devil after the fall of man, so, even if it is a positive emotion, there is need to temper it, so that you don't become excessive (Galatians 5vs16).
Does the Holy Spirit works with Emotions? No,Emotions are bodily(fleshy) chemical reactions while Holy Spirit is a supernatural Spirit, The Spirit of God in man and on earth. If you submit to Him, he moves your emotions over. (Romance 8vs13b). The Holy Spirit through your relationship with him will transform your life and you will realize that you can no longer respond when you are provoked because, the moment flesh sends the signal to the soul, the spirit also sends the word of God and the word God with fire eats up the signal of the flesh then, you won't react.
Your life( Your spiritual life, the life you live) and your Emotions can not be balanced without The Holy Spirit. Look at David the second king in Israel when he was been chased by his enemy Saul. One fateful day He saw his enemy Saul sleeping off, I think that's a good day, he should just kill him without hesitation, but when he saw his enemy Saul, the Emotions rise(anger to kill King Saul) and the word of God countered it, "touch not my anointed and do my prophet no arm". Again when the Emotions rised in Jesus Christ at Gethsemane,( Matt.36-39) The word of God came "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".
When Holy Spirit comes and rules in your life, He replaces your Emotions with Compassion(The kind that God created in the beginning), you have compassion on people, you can't do any evil, then your tears will be meaningful, maybe when a loved one dies or you find a friend in trouble. Then the Holy Spirit makes your Love for people a Compassionate one, such that God has for humanity and you will be Compassionate about loving people around you, not only your spouse. Let me add this, it is only The Passionate love given by God that holds a marriage, not the Emotional love.
So, it is the Holy Spirit that strikes the balance between your life and your Emotions. That is, your life in the Spirit is Emotionally balanced because it is controlled and paddled by The Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit.
