Anger alert, Watch your speed!


Anger alert ,Watch your speed!

Many individuals feel that anger or dealing with anger is a race or cultural thing, but anger is really dealing with control similar to:

·         A thermometer or

·         A speedometer device.

Whether at home or in public setting it should never be attributed to the past, the color of one’s skin, gender, or even one’s hair color! 

Fits of rage:

 Galatians 5:19-20 New International version

19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, fractions

These fits continue to dominate particular cultural(s) because of lack of self control or temperance… furthermore education.  Not only does one need to control the climate of one’s children, to prevent them from developing wild and unruly. They also need to teach them how to apply self control by using one’s own life style as a prime example!

The Word of God says be ye angry and sin not:

New Living Translation (©2007)
Ephesians 4:26 And "don't sin by letting anger control you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry,

So even God knows that sometimes one will get angry; but what an individual needs to do is to monitor how angry they become and place a cap on it!

Let’s use for example:

If you were driving on the highway and the signs say that the legal speed limit is 55mph;  no matter how in a hurry you maybe or who’s right or has the light;  if you are driving above the speed limit you can get a traffic ticket, into a accident harming someone or even killing or hurting yourself!

These rules are enforced by electrical devices or the Law!

This is likewise in the spirit

You “can” control your spiritual car yes your (body, your tongue) through your spirit that is subject to God!

Proverbs 25:28

He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.

I heard individuals defend that they cannot help or stop themselves when they get angry or upset, but this is a lie that has been taught!

Hosea 4:6 KJV
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,….

 Temperance

Galatians 5:23 KJV

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

This temperance is a gift that enables one to check oneself and control oneself. When an individual feels the rush of adrenaline in their body to do something negative all because they’re angry (especially when it might not be that serious)

Another example

You are having a heated conversation that you choose to take personal.

The other individuals may be still driving 50mph but you allow your emotions to go to 90 or 120mph because of lack of development of self control!

Bring it back down to 55mph by not allowing your emotions to rule you! The scripture says that you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you.

 Give it to God don’t let what you feel control the wheel to your destiny get a grip!

Learn Wisdom and Focus!

Proverbs 17:28 KJV

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.
