Anger and The Art of Forgiveness

Oct11

AngerHave you ever found yourself so angry that you began to shake violently or you want to hit or throw something? Anger can be violent and very disruptive to your life, as well as, those around you.

For when we hold built up anger against others or ourselves, it lingers and tends to grow into a full-blown pity party and you seem to fly off the handle at the little things in life.

Let’s see what scripture has to say:

  • Ephesians 4:31 “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice”.
  • Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger”.
  • Proverbs 16:32 “Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty…”.

Let those scriptures sink in. Repeat them. They sure say a lot, don’t they? But why would it be so important for God to tell us these things within the Bible?

Sing Out Loud

Because, He knows that this is not a simple task for us. Our human nature tends to hold onto grudges. We like to think that if we treat the individual differently, they will feel our pain or if they can sense our anger towards them, they’ll get the point. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

When we have a quick temper or say something that we shouldn’t, then it tends to fester as guilt and becomes a vicious cycle. When we hold onto pain, anger and unforgiveness; all it does is cause sickness and unhappiness within our own lives. We are clearly told in Colossians 3:13, that we should “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you so you must forgive others.”

Now, we all know that we are not perfect and we certainly make mistakes. There was only one perfect person that ever existed and that was Jesus. So, the best thing we can do is learn how to control anger and learn the art of forgiveness, His way. It is imperative that we make HIM a big part of the equation. It is completely for our benefit, not for anyone else.

The absolute best thing you can do when you find yourself angry or unwilling to forgive is to STOP YOUR THOUGHTS AND HOLD YOUR TONGUE. Immediately, ask God to help you overcome the situation, release it to Him for transformation and ask for Him to fill you with peace that surpasses all understanding. It is also best to hold your tongue rather than to regret your words later. For it is written that the power of the tongue brings life or death.(Proverbs 18:21)

Word of Caution…the more you attempt to release things to God, the more negative thoughts you will encounter.  Do not allow yourself to relive the situation over and over again. Just keep stopping the thoughts, ask God to take them off your shoulders and to be filled with His indescribable peace.

Forgiveness

Stand against your opposition by giving it to God and filling your mouth with praises for Him! You will notice that the burdens begin to lift and your anger, pain and frustration will subside. Things will begin to roll off your back and you won’t sweat the small stuff either.

God is bigger than any problem you face, that I can guarantee you!

Break Free

Apr21

miracles4The hunger and anticipation you feel for something to change in your life should be taken very seriously. Many of us have been in a transitional period for quite some time. It doesn’t have anything to do with how long you’ve waited or what you may or may not be doing. Everything that has been coming against you, that has been holding you down has all been a setup for God’s Mighty Hand to break forth!

When we get to a place in life where we have no idea how to get out of a situation or you don’t have the funds you need to make a change…then we are primed for God’s Glory to shine through to make things happen.

He doesn’t want us settling where we are. He doesn’t want us struggling to get by. He doesn’t want the pain or sorrow to keep us depressed, broken and disgusted. No, Our God is an all-powerful, all-loving God who wants the very best for each and every one of us.

When we open our mouths to confess His words over our lives, something happens in the supernatural realm. The angels are charged to watch over you and miracles can burst forth for God’s Glory.

We serve an AWESOME GOD! He is still on the Throne and is ever increasing His supernatural towards us. The wealth of the riches is laid up for His children. You are a Child of the Most High God. Claim your healing. Claim your restoration. Claim your future.

Don’t let your moment go by without claiming your victory. Don’t let the naysayers talk you out of your blessings and miracles. Stand firm and Command your situation to change. Command your healing and restoration to burst forth into you and your families lives. Prophesy to your life with God’s word. His word will not return void!

Be grateful for the things you’ve learned through the dry spell and for God’s hand that lead you through it. But now, it’s time for your complete healing and restoration. Claim God’s word and see it come to pass. He gave us the authority to claim what is true. If the Bible says you are healed, then you are healed! If the Bible says you are more than a conqueror, then you are. If the Bible says you will have more than enough to spare and share, then you will.

This is your moment. God is about to do something so amazing in His children’s lives that there is no question it is God’s miraculous and He will get all the Glory! We serve an amazing Heavenly Father! His children have been held down long enough and now it’s time for all of us to press through to the finish line!

miracles6Every single one of us is blessed to be called by God. He’s given us the opportunity of helping and praying over others. There is absolutely nothing that God wants more than each of us sharing His love towards others, teaching them who He is and how He truly makes a difference in every one’s lives. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity of speaking on God’s behalf. As your life begins to transition and become restored, make sure to use your amazing testimony to share with those around you. Your miracle represents the Power of God and reminds us that nothing is impossible to Him that will believe. Help those around you see the amazing God who lifted your burden, shifted your situation and restored all that was lost!

Look Up. Pray Up. Speak Up. Thank Up.

Your life is about to change in the most marvelous ways! We are coming into God’s creative miracles and your life is about to become all that you wish it to be! Whoo, Praise the Lord for He is so good!

Never Too Late

Apr16

LiftedIf you’re like most, we tend to wait until we are in the deepest, darkest pits of our lives before we cry out to God. It’s in these moments that we have exhausted all our efforts and don’t see a way out. Whether it’s years of pain and suffering that has brought us to this place or an unforeseen tragedy; we all go through difficulties within our lives that can take the very breathe from us; leaving us feeling desperate and alone.

It is in times like these that we need to reassess our lives. We may not understand why things happen or what we could have possibly done to deserve the terrible experience, but we all seek the answers that are not always readily available. We all face an unseen adversary. It’s not that we deserve anything bad to happen nor have we’ve done anything to deserve it; it is simply the adversary trying to keep you in a deep, dark pit and overwhelmed. The adversary wants to keep you exactly where you are, feeling low and in despair.

When we find ourselves in these moments, the absolute best thing we could do is cry out to God for help. He wants to heal our pain and suffering. He wants to prosper us. He wants to restore the time lost. He wants to restore failed relationships. He wants to restore all the lost opportunities.

God is an all-seeing, all-knowing Father who has the answer to all of our problems. Don’t waste another moment by allowing the adversary to keep you down and out. Speak up and let your voice be heard by the one and only Creator, who wants to heal you completely; physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, and make you whole while filling you with such incredible peace in the midst of your storm. So, don’t waste another moment. Cry out to God for your healing and restoration. It’s never too late because He’s waiting to hear from you, His beloved child. Cry out and watch His amazing, incredible, and miraculous solutions come upon you. For you are never alone, He promises to always be there.

Be You

Apr15

Everyone of us has a purpose in the Kingdom of God. Whether you are called to be a teacher, writer, preacher, a bible study host, singer, scientist, doctor, janitor, a stay-at-home parent, an encourager, someone who smiles, or anything in between, we are all called according to His purpose. We may not know exactly what our calling is but we can rest assured that when God calls upon us, He will have already equipped us to become that special person for the Kingdom.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Each one of us is uniquely made. We are to be special and not like each other. Every single one of us are to become the person God wants us to be. Then together, we all uniquely fit into God’s bigger picture.

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus
to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Just because we see someone excelling doesn’t mean we need to try to be like them. We were never to be like someone else. God has given you a special calling and a creative talent that no one else has. When we try to be like someone else, we are actually attempting to be something we are not called to be which only leads to failure and frustration.

Our purpose is the very meaning of our existence and a distinct impact on the world around us. It’s very easy to look at others and think they have what you want, they are making a difference when you feel you don’t, they have a life you would like, they look how you wish you looked, and the list goes on. Never feel like your life doesn’t matter because it does. Say it with me, “MY LIFE MATTERS!”

Whether you realize it or not, your life is making an impact. People are always comparing themselves and watching from a distance. How you react to situations, what you say, how you say it, what you do…all these things impact those around you. Each one of us have a meaningful mission in life. Be yourself and let God’s mighty hand work within you. Be your unique you. There is no other person like you. There is no other person who can do the special mission God has just for you. Reach out and know your maker. He will guide you, help you and lead you on the path only you can take.

Be strong and press on. God’s plans and ways are higher than we can ever imagine. Everything you have gone through will not go to waste. Your testimony of God’s goodness, favor, restoration and healing power just might be the very thing that touches someone’s life and lead them to the one and only true God. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Don’t give up now, you are closer to your breakthrough than you think. The smallest acts of kindness can make a huge impact. YOU ARE SPECIAL AND YOUR LIFE MATTERS!
