OUR ONLY HOPE AGAINST ANGER

I know my only hope is Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ !!! The Bible says; “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.”  (Romans 8:28). I know that I have a real problem with loosing my temper and seem to sometimes have no patience with people, especially babes who seem to always question things that I tell them when they ask advise of me. I think some of my poor kids have also learned this same behavior problem from me. Lord Jesus help them and help us all. Amen? And he will, if we will tell that person who we have offended that we are sorry and ask for forgiveness, and then go to Jesus and ask him for forgiveness and then move forward for the Lord by faith. The hardest three words (because of our pride) to say for many of us are, ” I was wrong, or I am sorry”. Even Jesus seemed to get upset with his disciples when he told them “O faithless and perverse generation. How long shall I suffer you?” (Matthew 17:17). “ and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.” (John 2:15-17).

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
 a time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
 a time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).

There is a time of righteous anger even war. I think the war against Hitler was a righteous war. However most wars are caused by greed, and lust for power. “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James 4:1-4). Paul said, “do not I burn? ” (meaning his anger). “We are men of like passions.“(Acts 14:15). Lord help us, you would think we would be learning some lessons and passing some tests and making some progress in the spirit by this time. We all just need to get closer to Jesus and be more like him. Amen? “Not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” (Titus 3:5). “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32).  “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” (Proverbs 13:7). “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:” (Ephesians 4:26). Moses was angered by the Children of Israel’s complaining and smote the rock twice and did not honor God, before the assembly and the congregation. Therefore, the Lord did not allow him to go into the promised land because he struck the rock twice. (Numbers 20:3-21).  In your patience possess ye your souls.”(Luke 21:19). “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”(1 Corinthians 10:11). Get things right if you want to sleep tight! Remember ANGER is only one letter away from DANGER ! Don’t be a fool keep your cool.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
