~*Anger and It's Dangers*~

 

We all been angry and we've said things that we had never parted our lips.  However, words never die, they linger and what's in your heart will eventually come from your mouth. The tongue in your mouth no matter how small can destroy a person, for life. Read: Proverbs: 21:23; Ephesians: 4:29; Proverbs: 15:1.

As a believer, it is important to understand that you can have moments of anger and still remain right with God. But anger that hovers around in your heart can lead to an opportunity for Satan to enter.  The devil uses justification in our thought process... He whispers thoughts in our minds  by telling us "I wouldn't take that. Who does he or she think they are. You need to let them have a piece of your mind." These types of thoughts allows Satan the opportunity to setup a stronghold in your life. The word of God lets us know that it is an unwise person who allows anger to setup residence in your heart (Ecclesiastes 4:9).

We shouldn't except the devil's strongholds in our lives. More importantly, instead of responding to provocations negatively, which gives it fuel to burn, we should respond with forgiveness as the Lord has forgives each of us. If you have resentment, hatred, dislike or anger in your heart, you cannot come before God to find any type of justification for holding on to these things. The best antidote for these actions is to release it at once by having forgiveness in your heart! Please read: (Psalms 66:18 NIV) and (Proverbs 28:13).

It's very important that we shield ourselves by acknowledging these types of emotions and irritants  that we allow to enter our hearts. So, when someone says something to you that you don't like, remember this: (Help Lord) ...The Word of God makes it plain; that as we pray and seek His face, He makes us "quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger" (James 1:19-20 NIV). This create good fruit and this permits the fruit of the Sprit to flourish in the area of self control.

Harboring anger produces bad fruit. which produces very dangerous emotions.  We must take the right approach to anger.  Stand and fight anger with the word of God and a Desiring heart to walk in obedience. You can forsake anger by walking in the spirit of forgiveness!!!
