I’ll tell you what Dave has a paper
towel thing but sometimes he likes to
like he’ll spread them out on the
counter and say he’s going to use him
again in a minute well I don’t
[Music]
like anger
[Laughter]
management well I know you all look so
sweet I can’t imagine that any of you
you have a problem with anger
but I sure did for a long time
and I think that many times we don’t
even know what we’re angry about or what
we think we’re angry about is not even
really what we’re angry about and uh so
for the next two sessions we’re going to
try to take this thing apart
and get to the bottom of what’s going on
find out what the roots of the bad fruit
is and let God help us get them out amen
and uh
some people are angry and don’t even
know that’s what’s wrong with them I
mean I heard a story just last week you
may be familiar with Mercy Ministries
and we’re uh a supporter of theirs and
we built a home in St Louis and so I
went to their 10year anniversary and
there was a girl there giving a
testimony and she said um my father
committed suicide when I was a teenager
and I just never could seem to get
myself straightened out after that and
she said I started drinking started
taking a lot of drugs my life was just
in a total total mess she was just
falling apart so she got into the mercy
Ministries home to try to get some help
and one of the first things that she
started finding out while she was there
is that her problem started at the time
her father committed suicide and she
never realized this but she was angry at
him because he did that and left the
family and so she could not get well she
couldn’t stop drinking she couldn’t stop
taking drugs until she got over being
angry and I think there’s a lot of
people that have substance abuse
problems all kinds of different problems
and really the root of the problem is
that somewhere way down deep inside
they’re angry at God because their life
hasn’t turned out right they’re angry at
somebody else who hurt them or
disappointed them or they may even be
angry at themselves for for something
they did or didn’t do I’m going to tell
you a little bit about my my family
tonight and my mom in particular she
ended up with a lifetime of mental
illness and I know it was rooted in
Anger that she had toward herself and
guilt that she felt because she did not
do anything about what my father was
doing to me she was afraid of him she
let him do it her excuse was fear but
you know what even when we make excuses
that sound good if we know we should be
doing something and we’re not doing it
we’re going to end up feeling guilty
that we didn’t do it at a certain time
how many of you are with me and you
understand what I’m saying tonight so
this is going to be like a little free
lesson in Psychology tonight tonight
you’re going to be on Joyce’s couch and
we’re going to get a little little free
hour of counseling
here anger is one letter away from
danger all you got to do is add a d onto
the front of it which we could say
represents the
devil and anger becomes
danger anger is the condition where the
tongue works faster than the
Mind Benjamin Franklin said whatever has
begun in Anger ends in
shame he also said anger is never
without a reason but it seldom has a
good
one a lady once came to Billy Sunday and
tried to rationalize her angry
Outburst there’s no nothing wrong with
losing my temper she said I blow up and
then it’s just all
over he said so does a shotgun and look
at the damage it leaves
behind which I thought was pretty good
when Abraham Lincoln had to write a
letter to someone who had irritated him
he would often write two letters the
first letter was deliberately
insulting then having gotten those
feelings out of his system he would tear
it up and write a second letter one that
was tactful and discreet and godly
and I thought about that and I thought
you know what if you read the Psalms you
you’ll see that
David he vented his feelings he was very
honest with God about how he felt if he
was angry if he was hurting if he was
confused if he felt like God had left
him if he didn’t understand what was
going on he didn’t hold back his
feelings he expressed those feelings but
to the right
person and I think that many people if
they would really talk things out with
God they would get rid of
them and they wouldn’t be a problem for
them the rest of their life and so we
want to look at a just a whole lot of
different things and I hope it becomes
helpful to you and it’s something that
you enjoy anger
statistics one out of five Americans has
an anger management
problem enrollment in Anger Management
courses court ordered or voluntary is
booming
absolutely booming road rage has surged
over the last few
years Nationwide a demand for Anger
Management counselors is in an all-time
high tonight I get to be an anger
management counselor isn’t that
good actually the Holy Ghost is our
anger management counselor and you don’t
have to go I mean you can if you want to
spend your money I’m not putting it down
but you you don’t have to go to somebody
to tell you how to handle your anger
it’s all very clear right here in the
book and the good thing about going to
God is he’ll give you the help that you
need to actually pull it off and do
it go somewhere else you might just get
instructions but no help God wants to
help
you so there’s there’s not enough anger
management counselors to cover all the
people who want to get in to these
classes Newsweek said these SE people
are coming out in droves asking for help
now you know there’s a lot of reason for
all this anger and we’re going to
discuss it a lot over the weekend one of
one of the reasons why people are angry
today is just all the stress that
they’re under how many of you feel like
you’re got a lot more stress in your
life than what you can deal with if you
don’t like your life and you don’t like
your schedule you made it and you’re the
only one that can change
it see you’re not happy happy about
[Applause]
that help me
Jesus you see in order to be free from
anything we have to face
truth and blaming and making excuses
never helps us change
anything so let me say to you what God
said to me if you don’t like your
schedule you made it you’re the one that
can change it
see we think that all these things are
forced on us and then we get mad at all
these people that we think are forcing
us to do all these things and really the
truth is Nothing is Stopping Us from
saying
no now just already I’ve said enough to
change your life if that’s what you need
well what keeps us from saying no we
don’t want people to be mad at
us and you know what
people that you have to let control you
to keep their
friendship is somebody that you’re going
to lose and they’re going to disappoint
you eventually
anyway I like this in discussing anger
Dallas Willard who’s a very Godly
philosophy and
Professor offers a telling definition he
says that anger is a feeling that seizes
us in our
body how many you can feel it when it
gets a hold of you you know I always say
it starts down here somewhere and you
can you got to get it before it gets to
your
mouth it’s a feeling that seizes us in
our body and immediately impels us
toward interfering with and possibly
even
harming those who have thwarted our will
and interfered with our life now listen
to this anger Willard notes is
frequently used to make other people
around us change their course of
action in so
doing it controls their will which only
results in anger on their part so my
anger feeds off your anger and here we
go round and around and there’s never an
end to it
amen all right there’s nothing better
than peace you know
that actually peace equals power in your
life if you want to have power in your
life if you want to have more energy in
your
life you can’t be angry and you know how
many of you had ample opportunities in
the last seven days to be
angry me too me too I’ll tell you what
Dave has a paper towel
thing first of all he’s just falling in
love with paper towels he wants to dry
the dishes with paper towels I mean
everything everything is a paper towel
and uh but sometimes he likes to like
he’ll spread them out on the
counter and say he’s going to use them
again in a minute well I don’t
like now they’re not they’re not dirty
they’re just maybe damp and so uh or if
he pulls off one too many he’s you know
he’s very Thrifty so he doesn’t want to
waste it so he’ll spread it out on the
counter well I don’t like stuff spread
out on the counter so I go along pick
them up and
throw them in the trash can so it’s be
come he said you put anything down
around here you’re going to lose it in
about two seconds that’s for
sure so the other night he was ready to
go up to his office he’s got a little
space up there where he watches his
Sports at night
and I do my thing and you know the older
you get the happy you are to give each
other space
[Music]
I don’t know you guys are liking that a
little too
much you know when you’re first married
you know you just want to be with each
other every second well you more than
likely will get over that but that’s
not that’s not necessarily a bad thing
so so anyway he’s getting ready to go up
to his office and and he’s got these
paper towel was laid out on the counter
and I’m like why do you have those laid
out he said I’ve got them there for when
I come
downstairs I said now wait a
minute cuz I want my counters neat so I
said why do you have your paper towel
laying out on the counter for when you
come downstairs at bedtime why can’t you
take it off the roll then he said
because I want it there I said I don’t
want it there he said I want it there I
said why do you want it there he went
over to it he folded it up he said
that’s all right I’m taking it upstairs
with
me he said I didn’t expect to get an
inquisition over a paper
towel but the point is is 25 years
ago I would have gotten so
mad now how many of you get mad over
stupid stuff
[Applause]
okay maybe you’re not the kind of person
that’s going to have road rage maybe
there’s somebody watching by TV that
might be that kind of person but I’m
going to assume that that’s none of you
since you’re here together for church
tonight but you
may still be a little guilty of getting
angry
over what the Bible calls trifling
uninformed unedifying stupid
controversies over ignorant questions
and if you don’t think that’s in the
Bible is 2 Timothy
2:23 when I think and I want you to
think serious with me when I
think about how many days and years of
my life I wasted being
angry about things that really didn’t
even matter trying to control people
that I was never going to be able to
control can I tell you that trying to
run the universe is hard work
I mean it just will flat wear you
out anger the Greek says the Greek Vines
dictionary says anger is the strongest
of all
passions it is indignation
Vengeance and wrath anger begins as a
feeling and can doesn’t have to but can
progress to
expression in words or actions and I was
not kidding when I said you can feel Ang
and
upset it starts somewhere down in
here in the realm of our the depths of
our soul and you actually can feel it
getting bigger and rising and rising and
I was not joking when I said you need to
do something about it before it gets to
your mouth because once we start to add
words to it then it gets worse and worse
and worse and then we’ve usually got
words coming back at
now we’re in this real heated exchange
and that’s when sometimes people can do
things and say things that they really
with all their heart wish that later
they would not have said and done amen
so I said it
can progress to expression in words or
actions but I also want to quickly add
it doesn’t have to
you know why because we don’t have to
follow every feeling that we
have
amen all anger does not have the same
characteristics one type is
characterized by quickly blazing up and
subsiding just as quickly you’re in a
grocery store somebody bumps into you
with their grocery cart you’re
like you get control yourself you
realize an accident that’s over very
quick another type is a more settled
abiding condition of the Mind frequently
with a view to Revenge now this is the
type that can take root in you are are
me because we think about over and over
and over and over and over what somebody
has done to
us and you know the more we think about
something the
more out of proportion it can
become till suddenly this thing that
really didn’t have to be that big of a
deal becomes this big huge mountain in
our life and can become a controlling
factor in our life I’ll tell you what
I’ve decided and it’s working pretty
well for me I don’t have enough years of
my life left to waste one more of them
angry maybe when you’re in your 20s you
feel like you’ve got a lot of time to
waste being mad but by the time you get
to where I’m at and we won’t talk about
it tonight by the time you get there you
don’t feel like you’ve got any time left
to waste so I’m going to ask you tonight
to deal with this emotion of anger let
God help you deal with the emotion of
anger not only to get rid of any
repressed anger that you have left over
from old things that have happened to
you but learning that we live in a
society that is violent and angry and
we’re in the world and not of it and we
need to be an example to other people
not out there acting just like they
do
not do not put a Christian bumper
sticker on your
[Applause]
car if you are not going to act like a
Christian while you’re
driving
amen and then there’s a type of anger
that is provoking to take action in
other words the angry person verbally or
physically acts out the anger anger can
manifest in
yelling hitting damaging throwing
things bringing harm to the focus of the
anger criticizing withdrawing that was
one of my favorite
ones if I was
angry I’m not coming in the room with
you
I’d rather go out the front door walk
around the house and come in the back
door to get to the kitchen than to walk
through the room where you’re
at
amen if I’m angry with you don’t touch
me in the
bed I will sleep on the seam of the
mattress rather than touch you
I will not ask you to do anything for me
well let me ask you a question who are
we
hurting he had the cover and I stayed
cold all
night he had the TV and I was off in
another room pouting sitting in the
bathroom floor
crying it’s really downright foolish
when you get right down to it and you
know some of this is humorous but I
really want you to take it very
seriously tonight because I’m telling
you anger is doing so much damage to
people’s lives and so much damage to
their health I’m sure if we had the time
which I don’t I could ask Dr Paul to
come up here and tell you what anger
does to your health and he could tell
you that it’s not healthy to be
angry there’s no telling how much energy
it takes to have one good fit and try to
get over
it do you know what fits are here in
Houston sometimes anger results in
ridiculing or humiliating another
person
teasing in a manner of putting them down
and you know a lot of times we’re
actually angry at somebody we’ve got
some kind of a dee rooted resentment and
so we do what the Bible calls coarse
jesting where we’re
saying negative unkind insulting things
but acting like we’re kidding
[Applause]
come
on oh I was only
kidding I was only kidding well out of
the heart the mouth
speaks
amen this type of behavior can also be
seen
toward oneself you can be angry with
yourself and you can say downgrading
things about your
self we played golf with a man one time
and I remember every single time he
would make a mistake hit the ball bad
miss the ball miss a putt he would say
stupid I’m so stupid that’s just stupid
well see he was doing that because he
was angry at himself he was embarrassed
because he didn’t perform good and he
was angry at himself I tell people this
all over the world and I’m going to tell
you tonight do not ever again say a
downgrading thing about yourself out of
your own mouth
you are created specially with the hand
of God he loves you he has created you
uniquely you make mistakes like we all
do I make mistakes you make mistakes but
there’s a lot more right with you than
there is wrong with you
amen you know my father frequently would
hit Slack or occasionally even come home
drunk on a Saturday night and beat my
mother
up he was very fond of yelling and
screaming and sticking his fist in your
face like he was going to hit you and I
hated that I hated it and even now I I
don’t do well if somebody
is slapping at my face because I still
have a reaction to him doing that all
the time and so I really just like even
if somebody’s teasing me I don’t want
them around my face
and uh my dad was so mean but you know
what his real problem was he was mad at
himself he knew that his behavior was
wrong he knew that he was doing a lot of
things that was wrong but instead of
taking responsibility for them and
getting the help that he needed he
blamed everybody else in the world there
was something wrong with everybody out
there and if you’re dealing with
somebody in your life that finds fault
with everybody in the universe verse
then in all probability there’s a guilt
problem going on in the inside of them
about something that they’re doing and
instead of facing
it they’re displacing that anger onto
somebody
else you know this whole thing we can
see it get started in the Book of
Genesis when Cain killed
Abel and if and if matter of fact I want
us to go look at it it’s in Genesis
chapter
4 now there was an issue here with the
offerings that Cain and Abel gave to God
and
and Abel’s offering was acceptable to
God but Cain’s was
not verse 5 says but for Cain in his
offering he had no respect our regard
that God said I had no respect for his
offering so Cain was exceedingly
angry and indignant and he looked sad
and
depressed which we might also add that a
lot of these bad moods that people have
is also the result of Anger of some kind
and the Lord said to Cain why are you
angry and why do you look sad and
depressed and dejected now I love this
if you do well will you not be
accepted and if you do not do well sin
crouches at your door its desire is for
you and I like this too you I drew a
circle around it must Master
it so don’t blame somebody else if
you’re not doing what’s right he’s
saying to him
then you can find forgiveness things can
be straightened out but you have to face
it just don’t go around
angry because your life is not turning
out the way you want it to when you
didn’t do what you should have done to
have gotten the right
result now seriously think about it how
many people in the world are bitter and
angry about their
circumstance by be nice if I would have
been barn with a Golden Spoon in my
mouth like you
were people are angry and jealous of
people who have more than they do but
they don’t want to do what they did to
get
it and that doesn’t make any
sense please whether you’re in this
building or watching by TV don’t spend
your life angry and bitter and
indignant because you’re not doing what
you should do
to get the circumstances that you’d like
to have one of the big problems we have
in our society
today is this attitude that everybody
owes me
something and nobody owes me are you
anything God sets before every person
life and death choose life that you and
your descendants may live and whatever
you seow that and that only is what you
will reap
we could have about a month together
probably to do this Justice and so you
know what happened Cain did not control
his anger he got more angry and more
angry and he ended up rising up and
killing his
brother there’s buried
anger where we stuff it inside of us we
deny it especially as a
Christian because we don’t think we’re
supposed to be angry even though we are
so the last thing we want to admit is
that we are
angry and so we put a smile on our face
and we pretend like everything is
okay and you heard me talk last night
about how Dave and I would fight all the
way to church and then the first person
we saw that was a another Christian
going to the church we would just
immediately like Oh Praise the Lord
thank you you know
get how many of you have a church face
come on come
on we don’t want anybody in the
church to know that we got a
problem only truth makes us
free nothing but the truth makes us free
John 8:31-32 if you continue in my word
then are you my disciples indeed and you
will know the truth and the truth will
make you free but the truth has to be
received and accepted and I’ve been
saying for years it’s not the it’s not
me
knowing what Dave is doing wrong it’s
going to set me
free it’s me receiving truth from God
for myself and so as you listen to these
teachings tonight and tomorrow or you
watch them on television for the next
few days or if you’re listening by CD or
watching by DVD
we all have an opportunity to learn
something about
ourselves and to pray and get with the
Holy Spirit and ask God to make some
positive healthy changes in our life how
many of you would just ass soon not
spend one more day of your life angry
and upset over something that happened
20 30 years ago that you can’t do
anything about or for that matter
something that happened this morning
that you might as well get over because
you’re probably going to get over it in
2 or 3 days from now
anyway that was something the Lord
taught me I would get mad about things
and and you know stay mad for two or
three days and then I’d finally decide
to get over
it and one time he was dealing with me
and he said why don’t you just go ahead
and make that decision to get over that
right now and then you don’t have to
waste the next three days because you’re
going to get over it anyway am I not
telling the truth and so if I can get
over it in 3 days why can’t I just
decide everybody say decide decide say
deci side that’s a good
word you say but I
feel well now you see right there’s
where the problem is I tell you what you
do with those feelings tell God how you
feel just like the psalmist David did if
you want to write a nasty letter to
somebody but then tear it up before you
give it to
them get it out of your system vent tell
God this is the way I feel God but
because of your grace and your mercy and
the power of the holy spirit in my life
I don’t have to act act on foolish
ridiculous feelings that are going to
cause problems in my
life and end up hurting
[Applause]
me there’s a lot of confusion over the
emotion of
anger the world is not confused about it
they think it’s the way to handle
everything but a lot of Christians are
confused because they really feel like
that as a Godly individual they should
never have anger interestingly enough
the Bible says be angry and sin not
so how can I be angry and sin not the
way to be angry and sin not is to feel
the anger but not act on it instead turn
the problem the situation of the person
over to God and let him be your
Vindicator and there I’m sure there’s
some people in here tonight that you
desperately need to do that
you look sweet but I surely I’ve got
some angry people
here there must be some people here
tonight who wandered in the door that
have got some stuff going on inside you
that uh is hurting you and hurting the
people around you see when you’re angry
you take it out on
somebody it comes out of you here’s a
good thing to
do when you when you anytime that we
have any kind of an ungodly Behavior
stop and ask God where is that coming
from how many of you realize that
sometimes we have issues in our life
things that are hurting us that it
really makes no sense that we just keep
doing the same thing over and over but
yet somehow we just won’t let go of our
issue okay we want to show you a little
clip that we got online and got
permission to use
now that goes on and on and on and
on they keep trying to get him to put
down his box so he can see what he’s
doing and stop banging his head against
the the wall and he refuses to give up
his
issue and you know what I think a lot of
us are the exact same way it’s like
we’re we’re banging our head against the
wall so to speak keep doing something
that is never going to
work because it’s not God’s plan or how
he does things and yet somehow it’s
amazing
sometimes just because we think that
going through what we need to go through
to get free is
hard that we will hang on to something
that’s actually even
harder and it’s just the devil’s trick
it’s like well that’s just too hard well
it’s not fair well you don’t know what
people have done to
me but I can tell you that anger never
works it hinders your prayer makes you
miserable makes you
sick can actually cause mental
illness there’s all kinds of problems
that anger cause anger is one letter
away from
danger all you got to do is add a d onto
the front of it which we could say
represents the
devil and anger becomes
danger and so we start in the book of
Genesis with Cain getting angry at Abel
so angry that he killed him and all
through the Bible we see situations
where people were angry and all through
the Bible we see the bad results and we
see God saying turn it over to me I’m
your Vindicator let me be the one that
brings Justice in your life and so we
have a choice to make today anger is
harmful to
us anger that is not
controlled because you see I want to
remind you that if somebody treats you
unjustly I mean even let’s just say
somebody pulls out in front of you and
traffic the feeling of anger is not a
sin that’s natural and
normal the feeling of anger is not a sin
but what we choose to do with
it or how long we choose to Let It Go
on that’s where the sin comes in it was
really good for me to learn that because
I used to feel guilty every time that I
would feel angry I wanted to do what was
right and I think a lot of Christians
feel guilty every time they feel angry
but it’s really I mean that’s an emotion
that God has put in us to let us know
when we’re being
mistreated however there’s a second
thing that God asks us to do not only
know when we’re being mistreated but not
to try to vindicate ourselves not to try
to get revenge not to hate people not to
be angry and upset but to immediately
turn it over to him
it’s called letting go of your
box turn it over to him and let him be
your Vindicator now God may not move as
fast as you’d like him
to he may not do it the way that you
would like him
to but God will vindicate us because
listen to what I’m going to say God does
not like it when people mistreat his
kids
you may think your boss has taking
advantage of you and you’re not being
paid what you’re worth and you’re being
overlooked and you can hate him all you
want to and it’s never going to get you
raise and it’s never going to change
anything it’s not going to increase your
joy you can sit at lunch and you can
gossip about him and downgrade him it’s
not going to help you in your life it’s
not going to add joy to your life but
you can pray about
it you can turn him over to
God and if he refuses to do what God’s
trying to get him to do then God will
get you out of there and get you a
better job somewhere where you will be
respected there’s nothing too hard for
God absolutely nothing too hard for God
my son had a really good example the
other day he’s got
three small boys plus he’s the CEO of
all of our Stateside Ministries so he’s
got a lot going on but he said you know
God G showed me a good example the other
day he said my boys believe anything I
tell
them and he said they absolutely think
that I can do anything he said if I told
them that I’m going to fill this
swimming pool out here up with gasoline
set it on fire and jump over
it they would say
okay they would believe that and he said
that’s the way God wants us to be with
him where no matter what he tells us or
how Fantastical it sounds that it’s not
even a question for us so if God says I
will recompense you for your past
hurts I don’t want you to be angry I
don’t want you to be bitter I don’t want
you to let what people do to you ruin
your life cuz let me tell you something
somebody out in the world is always
going to be doing something you do not
have to look very far to find an excuse
to get
[Applause]
angry
right if you don’t get angry about what
somebody’s doing to you you can get
angry about what they’re doing to
themselves you can be angry about all
the injustices in the world but I found
that if I don’t like a lot of stuff
that’s going on in my life the best way
to respond to it is by doing something
good if you want to make the devil mad
when he throws his best shot at you you
go be a blessing to somebody and see
what that gets
you I probably share this scripture in
almost every seminar that I do somewhere
before before the weekend’s over I’ll
share Romans 12:21 that we overcome evil
with
good if you’ve not learned that secret
yet you need to get a hold of that
you’re not going to ever fight evil with
evil but you can fight it with good and
win every single time every
time Ecclesiastes 7:9 says that anger
lodges in the bosom of a
fool so in other words people who have
things happen to them and they let it
get stuck in them and they stay angry
and bitter do you know that some people
and possibly even some in here
today some watching by TV listening
by a recorded
device you’ve let something that
somebody did to you way back over here
maybe even years and years
ago
steal the best life that God has for you
and I can tell you today is time for you
to let let go of your issue and let go
of your box and decide that you’re going
to let God Be Your Vindicator in
life and if there’s nothing that you’re
dealing with right now I can promise you
if you don’t need this message today
you’ll need it tomorrow or the next day
or next week or the next month none of
us are going to go through life and not
have multiple opportunities to get
bitter and resentful and angry and stay
mad and live lives filled with with
Strife not one of us is going to go
without an opportunity to do
[Music]
that be angry and sin not Ephesians says
and I love that because I used to think
that just the feeling of angry was wrong
but let me tell you something temptation
is not
sin did you hear
me you’re being tempted to sin but I
actually think it’s a great Victory when
we’re tempted to sin and we can exercise
the fruit of self-control and say no
I think that’s a victory the Bible says
Temptation must come so if you’re
waiting for temptation to go away it’s
useless to pray well you know Lord I
wish I wasn’t tempted every time I see a
chocolate
cake well you know if you love chocolate
chances are you’re going to have to
learn to look at chocolate in a
different way right you’re going to have
to look at it and say I will eat you if
I want to and if I don’t want to I won’t
you are not my boss
I mean I’ve had to learn in my
life if I want to be healthy and feel
good that I have to have limitations on
what I do it’s not that I you can do do
all things in moderation but you can’t
do everything you want to every
day you can’t spend all the money you
want to every day and not somehow end up
in debt you can’t say everything you
want to say all the time without ruining
relationships is anybody awaken in the
house
today so there’s temptation all over the
place and we have to stop thinking I
just I just can’t help it I can’t
control myself God is never going to
tell us to do or not to do something
without giving us the ability to do it
so if God says forgive let me be your
recompense don’t take revenge on people
be angry and sin not don’t let the sun
go down on your anger then we can do
with God’s help what he is asking us to
do and the first step toward ever being
able to do what God wants you to do is
to believe you can do it
right when we’re foolish and we let
anger Lodge within
us sometimes we do things that we can
spend a lifetime regretting right or we
say things that we’re really really
really sorry for later and so I want to
show you a scripture that I think is
interesting that maybe you’ve never
thought of like this and I don’t really
think I’m taking it out of context but I
want to show it to you John chapter 20:
23 now having received the Holy
Spirit and being led and directed by him
he’s talking to the apostles because
Jesus had been resurrected he breathed
on them and said receive the Holy
Spirit if you forgive the sins of anyone
they are forgiven and if you retain the
sins of anyone they are retained now
let’s just leave that up there for a
minute because I want to share this with
you in a couple of different ways first
of all I believe to forgive people we
need the power of the Holy
Spirit if somebody’s hurt you don’t just
try to forgive them you can make a
decision to forgive you can make a
decision to pray for people but you
can’t make your adverse feelings go away
only God can do
that and so first thing when you get
hurt whether it’s major or minor Holy
Spirit help me help me help me get over
this help me Let It Go I mean don’t wait
the longer you wait the more it’s going
to get deeply rooted in you the more you
think about it the harder it’s going to
be to let go of it I mean the minute
that you get offended the minute that
you get angry start praying right then
God I’m not going to live with offense
I’m not going to live with anger help me
let this go how many of you will do that
right away right away I love what first
Peter 5 says resist the devil at his
onset I love that don’t mess with the
devil it’s like I said last night don’t
dabble in in uh things like calling the
psychic hotline or having your palm red
at a circus or you know you don’t need
to dabble in that kind of stuff and we
don’t need to dabble around with these
things that are hurting us we need to do
what the word says resist the devil at
his onset I’m not going to live angry
I’m not going to stay bitter Holy Spirit
help
me you don’t have to live that way if
you let God help
you anger will ruin your
life so we need the holy spirit’s help
but then I think that there’s so he’s
saying receive the Holy Spirit now you
can forgive people but there’s something
here that I think
that maybe has a little different
context if you forgive the sins of
anyone they are forgiven if you retain
their
sin if you keep it in
you then it’s retained and I think if we
keep it in us and it’s retained then we
can actually turn around and do the same
thing that was done to us
right my father abused me he was very
angry he was harsh he was
hard I hated him I hated the way he
act and minus the abuse I ended up just
as harsh and hard as he was because I
had retained in
me the effect of what he did to me how
many children have violent parents and
then they become violent or a boy
watches his dad beat on his mother and
he ends up beating on his wife you got
to forgive people if you don’t you’re
going to keep it in you and if it’s kept
in you as a seed the enemy will be happy
to water it until it becomes a
full-grown plant in you and you end up
doing the same thing or some other
similar thing as to what was done to you
listen when God tells us to forgive and
not live angry lives he’s not doing it
for himself he’s doing it for us and if
you want to have the best life that God
can give you then not only do you need
to forgive everything from here back but
anything that’s going to happen in the
future make your mind up today I am not
going to live angry I am not going to be
full of
bitterness James 1: 19 and 20
does anybody need this
today like I said if you don’t you
will how many of you had an opportunity
to get angry this
morning look at that my
gosh boy is the devil working
overtime
wow understand this my beloved
Brethren let every person be quick to
hear a ready listener slow to
speak slow to take
offense and to get angry for man’s anger
does not promote the righteousness that
God desires everybody say I am slow to
get angry I slow to get angry say it
again I am
slow why don’t you even just start
confessing this it is almost impossible
to make me mad
amen doesn’t that sound
good all right I’m sure glad God’s that
way yeah woo boy he could be having a
fit a minute if he wasn’t slow to
anger Psalm 1038
and9 the Lord is merciful and gracious
slow to
anger and plenteous in Mercy and loving
kindness he will not always chide or be
contending neither will he keep his
anger forever or hold a
grudge how many of you are glad this
morning that God’s not holding anything
against
you
hallu well guess what we have his nature
living in
us the Bible says we have the mind of
Christ the Amplified says we do hold the
thoughts intents and purposes of his
heart don’t think that you can’t act
Godly because you
can the seed of God is on the inside of
us through Jesus
Christ and we’re told to imitate his
behavior so if he’s slow to Mercy I mean
slow to anger and he doesn’t hold
grudges no wonder he’s asking us to do
the same thing he’s asking us just to
imitate him in our Behavior in life
Psalm
1458 I think looking at the scriptures
is
important the Lord is gracious and full
of
compassion slow to anger and abounding
in Mercy and loving kindness now let’s
look at Ephesians
4 26 and 27
one of the things that’s very helpful is
if you get angry or if you’re having a
problem letting go of something look up
and read every scripture that you can
find on anger you know why because this
is not just Black Ink on White
Pages there’s power and life in the word
of
God you know I tell people all the time
I don’t do anything fancy I I teach the
word
and I believe I’m anointed to do it and
so why would you
take your weekend why would you take a
Friday night like last night or some of
you were here Thursday night Friday
night and now you’re back here this
morning and you’ve got plenty to do why
would you do this be I’m not just
speaking regular words but the word of
God is full of power and it has the
ability to change your
life
amen so always always always when you’re
having trouble doing what you believe
God wants you to do run to the word yes
spend time with God fellowship with him
remember how much he loves you and then
let that love flow through you to other
people verse 26 when you’re angry do not
sin don’t ever let your wrath your
exasperation your Fury or indignation
last until the sun goes down and I made
a suggestion last night that I would
like to repeat today why don’t you form
a habit of when you go to bed at night
take just a few minutes before you go to
sleep and kind of you know not go on
some digging Expedition under
condemnation but just ask yourself now
am am I angry about
anything am I mad at
anybody and deal with those things and
work through it until you can say to the
Lord I’m happy to say that by your grace
and mercy I’m not angry at anybody and
now I can go to
sleep you know what if you go to bed
angry you’re going to wake up
angry there are people in here today
that went to bed last mad last night and
you’re thinking oh man did you have to
talk about
that but here’s one of the important
things leave no such room or foothold
for the
devil give no opportunity to him so once
again God is saying when you do that you
open up a door for the devil don’t give
him that kind of an
opportunity verse 30 do not grieve the
Holy
Spirit do not offend or Vex or sadden
him by whom you were sealed and branded
as God’s
Own secured for the day of redemption of
final Deliverance through Christ from
Evil and the consequences of sin when I
think about grieving the Holy Spirit it
even Grieves me to think that I might
grieve the Holy
Spirit Well our relationship with God is
so ious and the Holy Spirit comes to
live in us to bring us the presence of
God it’s the most precious treasure that
we have this being the home of God the
Holy Spirit living in us and and the
Bible says don’t grieve the Holy Spirit
well let’s just don’t overly
spiritualize that let’s let’s look at
what does grieve the Holy Spirit the
very next verse we cannot separate it
from verse 30 says let all bitterness
and indignation and wrath passion rage
bad temper
resentment anger animosity quarreling
brawling clamor contention slander evil
speaking I mean he’s not leaving out any
of the anger
words he’s like whatever kind of label
you want to put on this Let It Be
banished from
you don’t grieve the Holy Spirit by
letting those things get lodged on the
inside of you now do you know that even
God operates in
self-control that might sound a little
odd but let’s look at Psalm 78
38-39 but he full of merciful
compassion forgave their iniquity and
destroyed them not yes many a time he
turned his anger away and did not stir
up his wrath and
indignation for he earnestly remembered
that they were but flesh a wind that
goes and does not return
so when God feels anger about something
that we’ve done that’s very unwise or
very wrong it says he doesn’t I mean I
think this would be the translation he
doesn’t just think about what we’ve done
and keep stirring up anger and you know
if you get angry about something how
many of you know the more you think
about it the more you Stir It
Up the more you think about it the more
you talk about it the angrier you become
same thing happens
to me so I love what the Bible says here
instead of stirring up wrath he
remembers that they are but
dust so one of the best things that we
can do when somebody makes us mad is to
right away say I make mistakes
too we all have
weaknesses we all make mistakes I know
I’ve H other
people you know if you’re going to be in
relationship with a person
any
person you have to get ready to not
always be treated the way you would like
to be treated let’s just talk
about five roots of anger where does it
come from were you Barn
angry
no doesn’t take long you know
angry people first of all may come from
Angry
families if you live in an angry house
which I did how many of you grew up in
an angry household okay well most people
who grow up in an angry household they
either try to get stronger than the
angry people or they cower down under
it and just let them control them in an
angry
household every everybody deals with
everything with
anger if you want something you’re not
getting it get
angry if you’re potty training the
little boy and he doesn’t go where he’s
supposed to get
angry if the television stops working
get
angry everything is anger anger anger
and that’s the way my dad lived his life
Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry and then
my mother was The Other
Extreme of never dealing with any
so I had it from both angles
and I left home when I was 18 and this
is important for you to hear thinking
that I was now
free boy I am getting out of here when
I’m
18 and I will be free it will be
over well see I spent another I don’t
know how many years having all kinds of
personality problems and manifesting all
kinds of wrong junky Behavior some of it
the same kind of behavior that my father
had manifested and not having I thought
it was everybody
else well I wouldn’t be angry if you
would do what I wanted you
to I wouldn’t be angry if you paid more
attention to me I wouldn’t be angry if
you paid me more on my job and come on
if that’s where you’re at today you’re
blaming your anger on somebody else that
kind of of anger is just a sneaky way to
not take responsibility for your
behavior see God offers us a life filled
with the power of the Holy Spirit where
no matter what somebody does you can
trust him to deal with it and you can
stay
happy while he’s doing it is that not a
great
deal wow
and I tell you what it was years and
years before I realized that although I
left the problem I took the problem with
me etched in my soul it was in all my
thinking it was in my will it was in my
emotions it was in how I dealt with
relationships it was in the way I
talked and so until we Let Jesus deal
with what’s going on inside of us we
never really have the
freedom that he wants us to have but you
know what he is the Healer of what the
Brokenhearted actually I want us to go
look at those scriptures because abuse
of any kind can cause Dee rooted
repressed
anger just angry about the way you’ve
been treated in life you’re angry about
the love you didn’t get angry about the
things that people said angry about the
things that people didn’t say you may
even be in a situation in your marriage
where you’re angry that you feel like
everybody else in the family takes
advantage of you and all they ever do is
want you to do something for them but
they never think about doing something
for you and I’m getting a little action
out there now aren’t
I oh yeah amen
s well that’s next on my list but let me
finish this one
[Laughter]
don’t spend another day of your life
giving up your joy because somebody else
doesn’t do what they should be
doing the spirit of the Lord God is upon
me because the Lord has anointed and
qualified me to preach the gospel of
Good Tidings to the meek the poor and
The
Afflicted Jesus was sent for people that
are
hurting he has sent me to bind up and
heal the
brokenhearted isn’t that
wonderful to Proclaim Liberty to the
captives and the opening of the prison
and of the eyes to those who are bound
so you know what I’m doing today I’m
telling you the prison doors are already
open and hopefully the word that I’m
speaking is opening your eyes to the
fact that the doors are open
amen amen if you want to know the truth
I think
that a message like this or any version
of it is probably one of the top 10
messages that we need to hear on some
kind of a semi-regular
basis because it is so easy now listen
to what I’m going to say it is so easy
to feel justified in our
anger and yet there is no justification
for it because God does not stand angry
he forgives and so he gives us the
ability to do the same thing but it’s a
choice that we have to make it is a
choice verse
two he sent me to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord the year of
his favor and the day I love this of the
Vengeance of our
God so I’m here to tell you today that
God will vindicate you and he here to
comfort all who
mourn there’s a supernatural Comfort
today for those of you that are
brokenhearted wow God can get to places
that no person can get
to
amen you’re going to feel better just
because you were here
today you are going to feel better just
because you were
here you will you’re going to have a
better week because you took time to
come here this weekend I don’t care even
if you think well I’m you know I’m not
an angry person you know my husband’s
not an angry person but that doesn’t
mean he doesn’t need to hear
this just because you’re not a violent
angry person I mean if if you don’t need
anything I say just enjoy the
atmosphere just soak up the
anointing if you don’t have a problem
now you’re getting insurance for the
future
[Applause]
he gives
us an
exchange he comes to Grant consolation
and
joy to those who mourn in Zion now watch
this to give them Beauty instead of
Ashes I love it one of my first books
that I wrote was entitled Beauty for
Ashes but you know what you can’t have
the beauty and keep the ashes
[Applause]
that’s one of the biggest mistakes that
we make well I’m going to hang on to
these ashes in case I want to have a
Pity
day I’m going to hang on to these ashes
in case I feel like spending today
angry but Lord I’d like to have the
beauty too no it’s a Divine exchange you
give him all the junk that you’ve got
and he gives you all the glory that he’s
got you release it and you let it go
Beauty for Ashes the oil of Joy instead
of mourning the Garment of Praise
instead of a heavy burdened and a
failing
Spirit who would not want to come to the
cross and meet Jesus and get it on this
kind of divine exchange amen that they
might be called Trees of Righteousness
the planting of the Lord that he may be
glorified look at verse
seven instead of your f shame you shall
have a
two-fold
recompense or to put it plainly a double
reward
Hall I’ll tell you what I had a really
bad
childhood but I am just having a great
time
now I
mean I could have been bitter and wasted
my whole life and probably been married
seven or eight times because nobody
could have put up with me more than a
few
weeks and Dave has been married to 20
different women in the 48 years we’ve
been
married because I just keep changing and
keep changing and keep changing and keep
changing I mean he gets a surprise about
every two or three months
it’s funny now because Dave hugs me I
mean he’s very affectionate he hugs me
every morning and he’ll say oh how’s my
sweetie pie this morning and I think I
would have never thought 40 years ago
that anybody would have ever sincerely
thought I was
[Applause]
sweet I mean I just had a hardness in my
soul because of what was done to
me I mean it’s tough when your father’s
abusing you and your mother won’t rescue
you that’s like what’s
left and many of you have been through
even many worse things than that but
even if it wasn’t something as terrible
as that people are not created to be
used and abused and hurt they’re created
for love and kindness and help and mercy
and
goodness and you can see exactly what
the devil wants he wants to hurt you so
you will spend your life hurting
everybody else that you come around so
then they will get angry and hurt
everybody else that they’re around and
that’s exactly what we have going on in
the world
today come on we are living in a violent
society and we have to be determined as
the church that we are going to be a
bright shining
light and not be that
[Applause]
way I’ll give you a double Rec Rec
compense for your farmer trouble and
verse 8 says for I the Lord love
Justice I the Lord love Justice look at
look at the end of verse 7even it says I
will
um let’s just read the whole thing
instead of your farmer sham you’ll have
a two-fold recompense instead of
Dishonor and reproach your people shall
rejoice in their portion therefore in
their land not when they die and go to
heaven in their land they shall possess
double what they forfeited
and everlasting Joy shall be theirs but
we’ve got to rewind for a minute and go
back to giving up the
ashes see we can’t just take the promise
part are you willing to give up your
ashes
today and every day of your life the
third root of anger can be unmet
needs you know we all have legitimate
needs and we have a right to expect them
to be
met some of the needs that we have is
rest
laughter
encouragement
appreciation the freedom to be
yourself Lord have mercy that’s
something d gives me and I love
it I mean I am a little bit feisty but
he likes
it I mean he’ll say sometimes if I get a
little bit you know maybe out on the
edge he’ll say oh there’s that old fire
I married
before and you know why I think God
gives him the grace to do that because
God knows what I went through just like
he knows what you went through and God
knows that you’re doing your best and
that you’re growing and you may not have
arrived but you’re on your way and I
believe that God will cover you and give
you Grace with
people as long as you’re pressing into
[Applause]
him unmet
needs you have a right to enjoy things
and you have a right to make choices and
not to be
controlled now here’s the problem though
a lot of people don’t get their needs
met in their relationships whether you
got into a relationship you shouldn’t
have been in to start
with just
saying desperate people do desperate
things I was desperate when I was 18 I
married the first guy that showed me any
attention at all because I was afraid
nobody would ever want me and I knew
when I did it it was going to be a
nightmare and sure enough it was another
fiveyear nightmare on top of the 18-year
nightmare I’d already
had desperate people do desperate
things and if you’ve already done
something desperate then we’re going to
pray for God to help you but if you are
on the verge of doing something
desperate we’re going to pray for you to
hear what the spirit of the Lord is
saying to you today don’t do it
fear is the root cause of a lot of
anger number four
fear let’s go to 1st Samuel 17 let me
show
you just one man’s story and you’ll get
it 1st Samuel
17:28 all the men of the army of Israel
were
running frightened because of Goliath
nobody would face him nobody would
confront him
David the little Shepherd boy who nobody
really seemed to respect that much sure
had a mighty relationship with
God and so he thought maybe he could do
something about
Goliath it’s amazing when you hang out
with God you get quite bold and
courageous but he had older brothers
that were some of the ones that weren’t
doing anything anything about Goliath
and so in verse 28 it says now elab his
elder brother heard what he said to the
men and eliab’s anger was kindled
against David and he said to him why did
you come down here with whom have you
left those few sheep in the
wilderness right away he’s trying to
belittle him and make him feel like he’s
unimportant I know your presumption and
the evilness of your heart for you have
only come down here that you might see
the battle and verse 29 and David said
what have I done now so you know what
that tells me David was used to this
kind of be
treatment come on maybe maybe you grew
up in a family where you were not the
favorite
[Laughter]
sibling or the favored
child you didn’t get the best grades
or there were things that other siblings
got attention far that you couldn’t do
and you didn’t get that well you can
spend your life now hating
them because they didn’t treat you right
or you can turn your attention to God
and know that true promotion comes from
him and if you give up the ashes he can
give you double blessing for your farmer
trouble Oho I like this merciful
day 1st Samuel 18:6
as they were coming home when David
returned from killing the Philistines
well now he’s working with
Saul he’s in Saul’s
Army and they were returning from a
battle and the women came out of the
Israelite Town singing and dancing to
meet King Saul with timberl songs of joy
and instruments of music and the women
responded as they laughed and Frolic
saying Saul has slain his thousands but
David his 10
thousands now let me tell you you would
have had to been one really secure King
for that not to bother
you and actually God wants us to have
that kind of
security he doesn’t want us to have to
feel like that we’ve got to dislike
somebody else because they seem to be
liked a little bit more than we are on
come
on look at me you don’t have to live in
competition with anybody
have your own life have your own
relationship with God let God do what he
wants to do with you without comparing
yourself with anybody
else verse eight and Saul was very
what what’s our word today angry and
Saul was very angry for the saying
displeased him he didn’t like the
song and he saidwell you’ve given to
David 10,000 and to me only a thousand
what more now can he have but the
kingdom and Saul jealously eyed David
from that day forward and the next day
an evil spirit from God came mightily on
Saul and he raved madly in the
house verse 11 and Saul cast the javelin
for he thought I will pin David to the
wall and David evaded him twice here’s
the thing if you keep a good heart I
don’t care who tries to come after you
they will not be able to hurt you God
will deliver you every
time and I’m not saying it won’t hurt
I’m not saying it won’t be challenging
but God is our deliverer however let’s
rewind you got to give up the
ashes and the ashes represent the
bitterness I mean you know David could
have been like well he could have been
mad at God
what what you stick me in this house
with this crazy King and he’s going to
throw Spears at me all day but you know
what I noticed with David Saul threw
Spears at him for years but David never
threw Spears
[Applause]
back come
on come on there’s more there than
you’re getting
amen the important thing is not rather
your soul is throwing Spears at you but
rather not you’re throwing Spears
back and you know you know the story
Story I mean Saul tried to kill David
for years and years and years and God
just kept protecting him kept protecting
him kept protecting him I mean David
would not touch the Lord’s anointed he
wouldn’t talk about him badly he
wouldn’t come against him he had
opportunity to kill him he wouldn’t do
it he put himself in God’s hands and God
exalted him to the throne and he became
one of the greatest
Kings do you want to be angry
are
great all right the last the the fifth
root of
anger is feeling like you’re being
controlled boy does that make people
mad I mean my dad controlled
everything and you know of course you
can imagine what that was like for me
cuz I had a strong personality anyway
and people that are strong in
personality really can’t stand to be
controlled and I mean he controlled
everything what you watched on TV what
you didn’t what time you went to bed
what time you got up I mean everything
he controlled it well if you have
somebody controlling you it is wrong it
is wicked it is
evil but if you won’t confront
them it’s just as
wrong right to to be honest with
you there are people that will treat you
good even if you
don’t insist that they
do but the biggest majority of people
and sadly even Christian people they’ll
probably give you whatever you’ll put up
with if you say yes all the time and you
never say no then all of a sudden you
say
no if they’re used to hearing yes all
the time it’s probably going to make him
mad see God finally told me I had to go
confront my dad man I didn’t want to do
that I mean I’ve been gone from the
house for years and the subject had
never been talked about everybody hid
from it everybody ignored
it man I didn’t want to do it cuz I
still had fear of
him and when the time came God said it’s
time I went and I shook so hard through
the whole
thing that it was
pathetic but I just told him I said we
have to talk about
this you were wrong in what you did to
me it was
wrong and he tried to make a bunch of
silly excuses I said no you were wrong
you controlled me with fear and it was
wrong
and there wasn’t a whole lot more to it
than that but there was a breakthrough
for me and a freedom for me in finally
confronting the situation now I’m not
trying to tell you what you need to do
but let me just tell you don’t let
people manipulate you and control you
and use you and abuse you you know why
you are
valuable you have got worth and value
God loves you he’s created you for a
good purpose he wants you to have a good
life and the devil will always try to
provide somebody that’s going to try to
take that away from you and you have a
god-given right through the power of the
Holy Spirit and the leadership of the
Holy Spirit at the right time you need
to stand up for yourself and confront
and say
[Applause]
no and that is not not trusting
God that’s being l L by the holy spirit
