4 Steps to Breaking Free from Anger Issues!

When someone makes you angry, boy oh boy.  It can lead to so many unwanted behaviors and actions.  Anger is the one emotion that can take you places that you can’t get back.  You look up and wonder, how did I get here?

According to the Blue Letter Bible Dictionary.  Anger is the emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view.  Anger in itself is an original character trait of our nature, just as love is and is not necessarily sinful.  It may however become sinful when causeless or used excessively.

In other words, when you hold onto it (harbor it) for long periods of time or act out in a negative way that harms others.  It will cause you to sin.

The bible teaches that “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,- Ephesians 4:26

The bible doesn’t tell you that you shouldn’t feel the emotion of anger.  What matters is how we handle the emotion of anger.

Important to Note: When your holding on to anger.  That anger begins to turn into hate and hate puts you in a place of suffering.  Some of you are suffering right now, because you have not dealt with your anger issues.  Your walking around with it like its serving a great purpose in your life.  

It has no purpose! 

When you don’t deal with your anger, you are actually aborting your life’s purpose.
Then your walking around trying to figure out what am I here for?  What’s my purpose?

• When you're angry you can’t hear from God.
• When you’re angry you can't see what God is doing
• When you’re angry you think everyone around you is hating on you when in reality they could be the one God sends to help you.
• Anger causes you to lose your spirit of discernment.
• You don’t know who is right or wrong.
• Who is for you or against you
• Anger causes you to be blind

Here is the good news:
The spirit of the Lord says, I have your assignment; but I need you to release the anger. 
If you find your self mishandling your anger, simply follow these steps:

First step: Confess

• I confess that I am angry.
• I have not forgiven them as I should

Second Step: Repent

• I repent from my sins now
• I will turn from this negative thinking and behavior not to revisit it again

Third Step: Make it Right

• Get back what the enemy has stolen from you
• Seek to forgive yourself and others

Fourth Step: Worship God

• Worship God in Spirit and in Truth

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. -Psalm 55:22

Once you release the misuse of anger, you will feel more of God's peace and joy in your heart.  Try it today!  Just let it go and let God fight your battles.

Until next time!

Live in Peace,
