Does the bible tell us not to be angry? Of course not! But it does point out that it is very important to handle our anger properly.
If vented thoughtlessly, anger can do extreme damage, often bringing violence, hurting others and is very capable of destroying our relationships.
Furthermore, if bottled up inside, it can cause us to become bitter and destroy us from within.
Paul says, we must deal with our anger immediately, in a way that builds relationships rather than destroys them.
If we hang on to our anger, nursing and feeding it with exaggerated thoughts and words, we will give the devil opportunity to divide us, and give him a foothold in our lives that will eventually open doors for the devil to demonise and destroy us.
The devil will always attack our mind with little whispers of hate and destruction, particularly our emotions to produce fear, anger, hatred and offence.
He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour, his aim is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10).
Emotions are not there to bring discernment, but the whispers of the devil cause us do just that so that when we believe his lies.
He puts in our minds, thoughts such as “no one cares”, God doesn’t love me”, my sins are too great”, “they are judging me”,but the truth is, the devil is a liar and a deceiver. (JOHN 8:44) and he wants us to believe that we are condemned.
But since Jesus paid our debt of sin, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Don't allow the devil to use your anger or situations to open doors that let him in to influence your actions and decisions and eventually destroy you, your loved ones and your faith.
Anger causes uncontrolled shouting and cursing that does so much damage.
We can apologise for something we have said, but we cannot un-say it. The damage is done!
That maybe the seed that one day breaks your marriage or other relationships.
Negative words spoken over one’s self or others are curses, and like all curses, they will need breaking. ”Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The uncontrolled tongue is nothing less than witchcraft and opens doors to the devil.
Curses can come from many ways, like negative words, many forms of witchcraft, and even through the sins of our ancestors before us, and if not broken will continue into the generations to come; they can bring poverty, homelessness, sickness and cancers, they can stop couples baring children, and even break marriages or cause people to remain single throughout their lives.
Therefore, my beloved, take every thought captive and bring them to the obedience of Christ. ”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Are you angry with someone right now? What can you do to resolve your differences?
Stop fueling your anger with wrong thoughts, and guard your tongue.
My beloved, begin to work on mending your relationship before the day ends, don’t allow the sun to go down on your anger, for like a cancer it shall grow, and like any cancer, shall bring forth death.
“Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:25-32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Where there’s division or disagreement, look for common ground to resolve your differences. But if you really can’t agree, learn to respectfully agree to disagree.
Consider your words before you speak them out, and ask yourself, are my words helpful and loving? Do they edify or do they condemn?
“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, maybe you are victim to witchcraft, or negative words that have been spoken over your life, including the words that you have spoken over yourself. Curses are real and will destroy lives.
Are you going round the same roundabout of poverty, lack, dependency, health issues, depression and such as these?
Jesus paid it all and you can be set free from such. For “He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, you do not have to accept the devil’s bondage; come to Jesus and be set free.
My friends, because Jesus who is your creator, chose regardless of your faults, failures, and sin, chose to love you, you can love yourself, and because He chose to like you, you can like yourself.
He paid a very high price for Your freedom and all you need do is believe and walk in that truth.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus said, ”The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.“
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He was and still is speaking to you.
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you think that you may be victim to witchcraft, or may be demonised, we are very happy to take you through the process of freedom, healing, and fullness of life.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
Please like and share to our brothers and sisters all around the world.
God bless you all.
