Anger, Sin and Trouble

Written by Dorothy Brown

by Muriel Larson

**Do you sometimes experience a moment of anger when it all boils over… you explode with anger?  http://marriageuncensoredtalk.com/love_busters/angry-outbursts/

Vesuvius?  A coal mine blast?  A Fourth of July finale?  Nope, only Sarah blowing her top again!  She’s angry and she’s letting everybody know it.

When Sarah was a little kid, she discovered that temper tantrums helped her get her own way – sometimes.  So she’s been using the “little kid” approach ever since and still gets results with it.  In the face of her anger, other people give in to her.  She wins arguments but loses friends too! (And others like her may lose husbands, wives, or other relatives).

The worst thing about our losing our tempers is the things we do and say when we lose them.  “In your anger do not sin,” says Ephesians 4:26.  The trouble is that usually we do sin when we’re angry, don’t we?  Scripture in Ephesians 4 also warns against the use of bad language, bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, abusiveness, and all kinds of malice.  (This list brings the Greek words originally used down to terms we are familiar with).  When we lose our tempers, somehow one or more of these things pop out, don’t they?

PUTTING THE NEW SELF IN CONTROL
The longer we have had a bad habit, the harder it is to overcome.  However, Ephesians 4:22-24 tells Christians to “put off the old self,” and “put on the new self.”
 
When we allow the Holy Spirit to control our actions, we put the “new self” in control and get the victory even over life – long habits.  But as long as we allow the old self to control our actions, we may find it difficult to overcome such things as temper tantrums, bad language, smoking, drinking, complaining, faultfinding, and stretching the truth.

This advice was given to persons who have received Jesus Christ as their Savior and have the Holy Spirit in them. In order to have this “new self” in the first place, we have to make sure that we have truly received Christ. To do that, read John 3 until it gets through to you, or check out on internet: http://www.journeyofjoy.com

BIBLICAL RESOURCES
Some people may solve the anger problem by “counting to ten.” For a Christian, however, an even better method is to send up a quick call to the Lord to help you control that temper.  When you begin feeling as if you’re going to make like Vesuvius, ask the Lord right then to help you to be like Jesus and control yourself.

Ask the Lord to help you forgive everyone who has ever hurt you. Then with His help proceed to do it. In this way you can be delivered from the deep – down anger in your soul that may pour out upon others at the least provocation. See Ephesians 4:32.

James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”   Often things that make us angry are temptations from Satan.  Whether temptation be from Satan or from our own worldly reaction, the solution is the same: “Come near to God, and he will come near to you” (James 4:8).

When we depend on God’s help, we gain victory over losing our tempers.  Each victory  draws us closer to gaining control over our tempers, our lips, and our actions.  Christians who exhibit such control can be testimonies for Jesus Christ – and have much better relationships with other people!

~Father in Heaven,
Help me to allow Your Holy Spirit to work in my heart freeing me from the habits of my old life. Make me more like You, I pray in Jesus name, amen.

Questions: What is your first response when you become angry? What is the solution to angry reactions? How do we draw closer to God?

    Fran, Thank you for your prayer of encouragement and most of all requests for my family. I miss and love them so much. My husband, please pray..mighty prayers would turn him over for a Man after God’s own heart like..David.

    I was reading, and I was thinking, since you live in Atlanta do you have a sweet Southern accent like Suzanne Sugarbaker? (Designing Women) We are Divine women!!..Have fun and hugs to my own personal mentor in-line and on-line with the word of the Lord! In Jesus always Rejoicing and Rejoicing … again and again…ToniG

  • June L says:

    Dianne, Praying for Bill to open his heart to allow Jesus in. Believe as you do that his experience the other night was from the Lord.

    God is revealing Himself to some of my unsaved family members whom I have been fervently praying for, and is letting me know He is there for them working out salvation because He loves them sooooo. I will share more when time allows. He is soooooo AWESOME, as Jackie would say.

    Jackie, we miss you. Praying for you and your family. Please let us hear from you soon!!

    Patti, so glad of your praise report today!!

    Ladies, praying for all of your needs as requested. Just don’t have time to comment on all. May each of you feel the “joy” of His precence in “special” ways today!!

  • Fran D. says:

    Dear ToniG…

    You’ve have a special place in my heart and are a gift to us! Enjoy you so much and wish we could have a cup of tea together!! And, we’d have some of the “miracle Biscotti” I made recently..I call it a “miracle” that I made it..The little Italian girl Gaida on Food Network said it was easy and I believed her..And lo and behold achieved it..But “prayed” along the way..That helped :) ..
    Know I have an accent..but don’t think it is like the lady on Designing Women, though..Was raised in Northeast FL in a little town called Palatka, FL which is nestled next to the beautiful St. Johns River..And some of my relatives there and in Pensacola,FL, where I was born and lived my first years..did have accents..But our children don’t have one..So, am pretty sure that I “slip in and out of it”..June L has heard me on the phone and will have to tell you for me!! LOL!! But you are sooo right!! We are all Divine women!!! And YOU have a beautiful voice on here!!!
    Also?! I spelled Paula “Deen’s” name wrong!!!! Am going to have to turn in my proofreading badge LOL!!! She has two sons that are good cooks, too, and appreciate and respect their Mama..Paula went through a lot and her story is inspiring and encouraging..You’d love their cookbook, too!
    Rejoicing across the miles with you ..and? Am praying my heart out about your special husband, too! Such miracles come at this “season of Miracles”..I get goosebumps just thinking about His Birth…And the Lord can sure do it..can start one this Precious Season, too! You deserve it and HE knows that..and loves his girl ToniG!!!! So? We will stay in powerful bond of Agreement, Matthew 18:20 and HE is here with us as we do, too..And many other “Glory Girls” that love you as much as I do..and ALL in AGREEMENT!! When I get discouraged about those have been interceeding and it “seems” there’s no result? I think of the Mighty Damascus Road experience Paul went through..and that thing that is impossible with man (or woman!)..is more than possible with HIM..Luke 18:27…and I pray ..lifting those Promises, too!
    Just want you to know this? HIS light shines so brightly through you here at this specials Sisterhood? Your husband “sees”, too! Am believing your prayer answered!!!! Amen and Amen!! You are so special..and a “gift” to us here!!!…Will hush and get back downstairs..Our son doing a quick errand..So ran up to share!!! Much Love!!!

  • June L says:

    To Toni G,
    Fran has given me permission to tell you what she sounds like on the phone. She does not sound like Suzanne Sugarbaker from “Designing Women.” But then, I am also from Atlanta, and “yes” she sounds like me!! A few years back I answered the phone at a local Hospital where I worked partime. A doctor’s wife said: “Is this Shirley?” I explained I was not Shirley. She said “Well you sound just like Shirley, sweet and Southern.” Guess what, Fran talks sweet and southern, and she is a “Divine woman”, inside and out, but you already know that!!

    Have a blessed week “Divine Tony.” Your words of wisdom and encouragement always a blessing!

  • ToniG says:

    Hi Carla, I made a (typo) mistake and called prayer..pair. I dropped down to my next comment to stop and fix the correct word.Please forgive me and pray I proof-read a little more. I get so caught in the Holy Spirit when I hear the needs of mighty prayer requests that I feel the Holy Spirit and the prompting to do the most important act of help for as all situations that are in need of that gift the, POWER OF PRAYER!

    Carla, I heard a song that was on the Presidential Prayer CD a few years ago. It was on prayer and intercession. Yes, someone, is praying for you…all of us..and that includes you but most of all our intercesor, “JESUS.” The song just went on when I kept reading your requests.

    Carla, I do apologize, and yes…someone..everyone is praying mighty prayers…sometimes when you don’t see typewritten ones as there are others that do not comment but are praying. That is what I love about this sight. The seen and unseen prayer just like our faith in Jesus to take him at his word when we can’t physically see him.

    Carla, once again thank you for pointing this out to me and a need to clarify. Oh, Holy Night..is my praise song that announces the birth of the King of Kings that praises his arrival for a long awaited promise of a savior. When I first became a Christian in 1990..that Christmas Song changed for me as my spiritual eyes and ears heard the proclamation of a Saviour on that..Holy Night when Christ was born.

    I, count it pure blessing to take part in lifting you up and your famiy and friends in the gift of prayer. Sometimes, we are so overwhelmed when going throuh a fire..we have no words..that is when the unseen power of Jesus and his wisdom to allow these things to pass and we join in with him and pray as he does for all of us when there are no words for the deep grief we are in.

    You are loved and prayed for and all of your requests!

    In Jesus let us declare God’s Glory no matter how dark life can get.

    With much Love and heartfeltrayers, in Jesus, Toni

  • ToniG says:

    Carla..sorry another typo..With much Love and Hearfelt prayer. Yes, I am praying with a host of angels and Jesus Christ is with you and all financial situations for your friend with needs to survive with the warmth of heat. Ageeing with you in all pain that we do await Jesus to relieve us from this world of pain. Your children, and SharonB’s daughter-in-law be healed and delivered. Amen..ToniG

  • ToniG says:

    Carla, I was sleeping most of my day due to my fibromyalgia and arthritis. It is late and I looked at the news for the weatherforecast. I do not know where you live but I can certainly tell you it is really going to get colder here in the Midwest. My deep prayers for the ice and cold storm that is approaching has already cut-off so many people here with no power.

    Lord, I just come along side of Carla for her friend again as he faces power of heat.electricity..and this is to be cast out in your name Jesus. Carla and I want to pray for not onl him but the many that are facing the same problems. Lord, put your hand upon all this weather and let your Holy Power warm the flesh and hearts of many us who may be without. Take this Lord and please help all of us. Your love and ears hear the pleads and petitioning from your children. I know you always are faithfull and answer in your ways not ours. Give us hearts of patience and calm as we enter another day of prayer. Father please agin I ask for Carla, Hilary,Angie,Ragon that you would be with them. Answer their hearts and souls of the unknown. The deep pain of any kind of illness that is before them. I pray for the best in your kingdom to touch and supply the needs for this family.

    I can tell in Carla’s prayer request she loves with a heartfelt concern and love for someone who is facing broken gas pipes and no money to repair. I present with my siter Carla…this request be filled by you source of power and to direct the gas company and electric company to get there and repair or replace the source of heat.

    Carla, I will continue to pray as our heat was out..off/on last week and is still giving us problms. That is why my artrritis and fibro is hurting so much more. Jesus, did provide and I do have heat but the briskness of the wind is felt through windows. We have to really bundle up. You are loved for your compassion and Lord will answer in his way not ours.

    Stand firm on his word like you are doing..In Jesus we pray your almighty Name the Source of all Power above all..ToniG

    Fran, Your words are a gift. I have to keep unwrapping each gift of encouragememt. Paula Dean and Giada Dilaurentis….are my cooking inspirations. If of any of you want a cookbook…now I made and bound this together at office Max…..Sure it may have typo’s but it was from the heart all 675 books of them.

    I made an Italian cookbook…because we’re all Italian with photos,history of my family and the best OLD recipes some from the Old Country which is now one of the most desired place of Travel, Italy. See Me! I came up with this idea as I did this for my daughter-in-law for wedding shower as she was swedish, etc and wanted my family pizzelle and anise cookie recipes. Everyone received homemade coookbook with photos.

    I was thinking when I put it together how much love when into it. However, behind the scenes there was a lot of anger on one families part. The Lord helped me as I did this on pure prayer. The Subject, is fitting for our topic. My sister, promised to type all the stories and recipes as a return favor she said wold be no problem as she also has a binding machine that hold mauals together. I came off my trip and there was nothing for a showerthat was like 4 days away. Crushed beyond belief. I went and typed she did a few and then…gluing/taping and designing. In my anger I hit the ceiling like a huge wind of turbulence went by. Unexpected expectationa and more broken promises.

    I finally ended up in prayer…with anger…and Lo and B’Hold I went to office Max and yes……..$675.00 for binding and the amount of copies I needed was the cheapest. Now more anger came in as they could not come through again for the final binding and had to make a decision not to dissappoint my son. With tears,tissue and total bill I was not able to enjoy a time so special. I let the enemy rob me because of money and a broken promise.

    I did let go after it was over and now 4 years later I still have people wanting them. However, my grammar and puctuation need to be proofread. I ask for that to be done in Jesus name. The cookbook that stirred the pot with anger and sin that lead to repentance. After this my sister was so ashamed, as she like me softies…broke down and we apologized.

    Sin and anger are the thief who like in the middle of the dark if night almost devoured us. Now for 3 years her husband will not let her participate with our family. Anger and sin have chewed my family apart. I still believe in miracles like Frans biscotti. You ladies are divinely praying and God see’s the hearts.

    In Jesus, ToniG

  • carla says:

    thank you soooo much tonig i will keep writing and we all need to keep praying god please wrap those windows with your arms and keep us safe and warm. thank you again tonig GOD BLESS YOU

  • JoyB says:

    Sharon….I am still praying for Racheal and your son, it is so sad that she cannot see the Love that God has for her….I will pray that some how over Christmas something will nudge her to the belief of the wonderful things that God can do for her.

    Toni…..thanks for sharing your cookbook story, I know all to well just how these rifts can happen so easily in family and in friendship, I remember growing up (my family was very “churched”) one day one of their friends in the church would be terrible, a few days later they would be fine and someone else would be terrible… and on it went……..we lived in an adult gated community for 3 years, we got to be pretty good friends with our next door neighbours who weren’t really well liked…..when I decided I had enough of cranky people…….some of the things that were said and done to our neighbours were really very thoughtless. When we moved (to a town 2 1/2 hours away) our neighbours were still very friendly to us………..then after a few weeks they didn’t speak at all. It really hurt me as I had stood up for them so much………then I found out that someone in the “community” had told them that we had moved because we didn’t like them………this really upset me because these wonderful neighbours had put themselves out for us BIG TIME……..one of the things was looking after our house while we went on a 3 month cross country trip and they would take nothing for it……..2 years ago our pastor asked every one in our Bible Study if we could think of someone we would like to be reconciled with, and we would all pray weekly at Bible Study……..I mentioned these people…..one year later……..we drove to their town and took them to lunch and now see them at least 3 times a year. It is so easy for this to happen…….but it takes mountains of prayer to repair it!!

  • Fran D. says:

    Hello Dear Ladies..

    Am lifting and thinking of you all and appreciate all the kind comments. Our daughter had to have emergency surgery in the early hour mornings today..But is O.K. and already back home with her family for which we Praise our Lord! Our son here and we have been a family encouraging one another throught this unexpected event. As we hugged and kissed her goodbye once she was in her room and settled..She thanked us for being there for her..and our son took her daughters, his nieces, on to a planned event last night..so her husband could be at the hospital overnight. She said she was so grateful for “family”..And we are blessed here at Truth Media, too! Where a “family of believers” hold one another up daily!

    Sharon, we know it is “never too late” and it is the enemy causing those words through Racheal, but she is a part of a special family in you and yours, too!..The Miracle will yet unfold, too! (You are also a very special woman, hope you know that!!).

    Believing for and with all of you..And sending love and prayers across the miles to all. Proud of you Carla for your intercession for the person needing utilities..and believe Jehoveh Jireh will answer those prayers..and prayers of agreement from the ladies here..

    Toni, hope am just a “sweet sound” in His ear as that beautiful hymn goes!! Linda R and June L both have the sweetest voices! Wish we could all hear one another! But? Get to read your “hearts” here ..and the voices would “have” to match!

  • ToniG says:

    Oh Fran, I was getting to go to bed and my computer did not shut off and my mailbox on. I saw your comment and thought …oh No..why is she e-mailing with her son visiting? I am so sorry for your daughter. We are in prayer for her as we all love you so much! Now it is our turn to pray and lift you and your sweet miracle’s (not biscotti’s) in prayer. Hopefully, everything went well as I know when you pray all ends are met.

    Lord, we just come before you pray for Fran and her family right now. I ask you Jesus to comfort all of them and the girls. Keep them assured that you are there with them and their mom. Please, let Fran minister to all. Father, the unexpected can and does happen to all of us. We do not get angry and sin against you by grumbling or complaing as that grieves you. Give Fran and her family more reasons to love each other even more!! Fill them with joy, and your reasons for healing hospitals things are really gifts just wrapped differently. We love and miss you Fran..In Jesus name ToniG

  • Fran D. says:

    ToniG

    Thank you for the beautiful prayer ..the Lord works in such Mysterious Ways, too..Our daughter a hardworking, giving girl..And we are so proud of the way she went through this sudden need for surgery. She told us over and over how much she loved and appreciated us all..And we feel that way about her, too. What struck me? The wonderful Mom she is to her girls..Her caring and concern for them..And while she “was” scared going into her first surgery of her life? She reassured those daughters..that she’d be o.k. and to “not worry”! There were a lot of “love you’s” and hugs!! And this will please you?! Before we dashed out the door to join her yesterday? We brought a tin of of those “Miracle Biscotti” for our Miracle girl! Thirty-two years ago when we held her in our arms? We knew we’d witnessed a miracle from Him!! She wasn’t able to eat or drink all day as she was an “add on surgery”..And, they’d first thought it’d be very quick..But other surgeries scheduled took longer than expected..But hers was one that “had” to be done!..And? I was so touched by her young husband..a “son-by-love” who had gathered a favorite soda and salad in readdiness for when she “could” eat again. And was going to get coffee for her to sample that Biscotti, too! The Lord used this in a mighty way and we all came away knowing He’d been with us..The surgery could have ended much worse..and she’d been told the “worst case scenario”..But we rebuked that and HE was with us..And everything ended up O.K. for which we Praise His Mighty Name this night!! Thank you, dear friend..for YOUR loving, caring ways and prayers! May He Bless you in miraculous ways this special season, too..You are sooo deserving!! (((ToniG)))

    Carla, I feel your need for prayer this morning. Lord..Help both Carla, Hilary and me included with my own husband as we come before you. Help us to get rid of that anxious and fearfull walking on eggshell feeling. That is not you and then we obsess and ruin our health and day that was meant to be joy full in you. Lord, please help Carla as she is trying so hard to please Hilary because she loves her. Lord, let Hilary see Carla’s love and brokeness and apologize and ask for forgiveness on both ends. Let them hug and be respectfull to each other. Thank you Jesus..I need the same. I love you my sister..you stay connected..with us and Jesus Our King. Thank you Lord..ToniG

KEEP BREATHING AND SAY JESUS NAME OVER AND AVER AGAIN IN YOUR MIND WHILE YOU ARE BREATHING BECAUSE SATAN HAS TO LEAVE. i would like for you to write me back sharon because i will be going threw the same thing with hilary tomorrow or just whenever she gets here. so please pray for me to and i hope i didnt hurt you in any way and most of the time it is easier said than done i am still learning how to handle my situation . god bless sharon and give us your love thank you jesus so much i do know the jesus thing WORKS your friend carla
