The way to escape
is always in Him, which means to be in the same mind as He is in. This
is what is called Christ
consciousness. Comprehend what
Christ is.
One grows through guidance
and knowledge once in Christ consciousness. A solid
relationship.comprised
of prayer and
study
enables a person to learn about His mind, as it's revealed throughout His
word
the Bible.
Here one grows in Christ
consciousness which is the awareness of the same relationship Emmanuel
had while on Earth with the Father and has today as they are in
the same spirit, the same outlook, the same attitude.
What works are necessary
to get
a reward after we have received the
gift of adoption.(Romans
8:15; Galatians 4:5).into
the
Family the Creator wants you in?.Ephesians
1:5; Romans 8:16. This gets
you more power from the indwelling of God's nature in you and enables you
to
conquer things that may be harming you.
Again, trials and sufferings
are for patience:.Luke
21:19; Hebrews 10:35,36;
Romans
5:3,4; 8:24,25;
15:4;
Titus
2:13; James 1:4. And why
patience is important. Patience is but one of the attributes
of love.
When dealing with the self, this is
one of the hardest things.
And where do we get patience
to handle our trials? 2Thessalonians
3:5.
This comes once an individual
realizes God's judgment upon him:.2Thessalonians
1:4,5 "So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for
your patience and faith in all your persecutions.(2Timothy
3:12).and
tribulations that you endure, which is a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God.(what
is?).that
you may be counted worthy.(judgment
involves counting you worthy).of
the kingdom of God for which you also suffer.(word
'suffer' is an old English word meaning to have passion over; where the
thing of passion was deeply believed and appreciated as having great importance
to them)."
The heartfelt realization
that you are indeed now, thanks to your belief in God's Son Emmanuel Christ,
just as holy, just as righteous, just as pure, just as perfect
as He is, gives you great spiritual strength to have patience and rock
solid faith during any more trials you may encounter.
This is because your focus
is on Him.(meaning
all He represents and has made possible for us).and
away from any heartaches people without the knowledge of God have, when
they too encounter the trials and sufferings on their journey through the
physical ups and downs in life here on Earth, with the dark side trying
constantly to pinprick us to
death.
If we had every trial alleviated
immediately, we would lack the opportunity for a greater reward.
That is why God has patience in intervening in our lives.(2Peter
3:15).and
promises that we can take what it is that he is allowing at the time you
are going through such things. Trials are so that character can be refined:.Hebrews
13:21; 2Corinthians 6:4-10;
Colossians
1:11,12. God looks ahead for us, whereas, we look at the short time
of our todays for us:.1Corinthians
2:9.
Patience
is consistently
doing well, holding to your faith.(being
content with His presence in you; why?).and
being content till things change:.Hebrews
13:5;
1Timothy 6:8; Philippians
4:1,12;
Luke 21:19; 1Thessalonians
1:3;
2Thessalonians 1:4;
1Timothy
6:11; Luke 3:14.(your
responsibility);
James
5:4.(your
employer's responsibility).
The Creator is patient.(Romans
15:5; 1Timothy 1:16).and
we are to be like Him:.1John
3:2,3.
We live in an age of rage,
an age of non thinking hotheads,
an age of guided missiles and misguided emotions.
Our feelings
are all screwed up. Anger
is just a feeling, a negative
emotion that does not need to be handled negatively, but most people do
handle it that way and then anger fractures.their
soul where it's then separated from the Soul of all.
Anger is the father of hate.(*).
Hate spawns.contention.
An attitude
of contention puts and keeps you on a negative timeline, where more negativity
is brought into your life:.Proverbs
17:14 "The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water,
therefore leave off contention before it be meddled with."
Proverbs
13:1-7; 13:10; 18:6;
22:10.
They, like
ancient Moses, couldn't step back from anger and therefore anger was
to their own detriment:.Job
5:2. So, anger is no good apart from showing an individual what's deep
in them, if he or she has the circumspect
to see it, so that they can overcome this attitude of contamination.
This evil attitude of anger lives within separation.anxiety
many harbor.
Anger is no good and we all need to avoid the 'no goods' of life if we
are of the mind to want the world, including ourselves, to be a better
product. An ancient saying is."he
whom the demons would destroy, they first make angry".
Anger
is the prelusive.factor
in behaviorial.issues.involving
violent attacks.
If you add a 'd' to anger,
what do you have? An angry individual can be as dangerous as one who meddles
in things he should not.
A lesson to avoid getting
involved if you are an angry, meddling, fighting and warlike type of individual:.2Chronicles
35:20-24.
Out of control anger comes
from one lacking in the power of
good. Such an individual's feelings are out of balance.
If he or she allows anger
to lead to retaliatory
actions, it's a bedground
for disaster:.Ephesians
4:26 "Be you angry and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.".It's
an alert to embrace
its opposite of kindness and patience with yourself. Life is contrasts
for learning.
We all are/were predisposed
to wrath at times but with some
people,
hostility
is a continuing way of life. This is dangerous.
It can lead to trouble for oneself and for others.
Anger is triggered
by emotional pain. This cuts
a person off from spirit flow.(*),
effectively keeping him or her in the ego's prison of resentment
and depression which are destructive to health.
The partners of anger are
intolerance,
impatience
and resentment. Resentment is the tool the ego uses to maintain anger over
decades. Intolerance maintains stubborness. Impatience provides opportunity
for dangerous rash
decisions. Such people do not understand
forgiveness
toward themselves or others.
Allowing anger in to ourselves
is stupid in that the emotion of anger precludes
asking oneself if there is any benefit from this. There never is. But a
person entrapped
by his own anger cannot see releasing it until the pain that may have caused
it hurts to the point of change being necessary, change either toward expressing
it, perhaps violently or change to deal with it somehow
or other. When angry, one is just
not able to effectively listen to the messages
from their soul. This is stupid in that one needs to define
it to release it and defining it is not possible when anger blinds one
to concern for others.
How
to define and deal with it so it can be dissipated?
Anger
and any response we have to anything, good or bad, are responses to a signal
we have generated within ourselves: Ephesians
2:3 "Among whom also we all had our conversation.(old
English word for 'conduct').in
times past in the lusts of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind.(did
what we darn well wanted to do, living
by our egos, with little, if any, regard
for anyone but ourselves) and were
by nature the children of wrath.(by
nature we become upset {often hidden from the view of others, we were inwardly
resentful and perhaps fuming},
having a
disposition
to want to wrest
control and which
temper
becomes
agitated
if things do not occur as expected or liked; but
now as a person of spirituality...)
even as others."
Such toxic temperament people
endanger themselves, especially their
health and of course are upsetting to others. Such toxic temperament
individuals put holes
in others when they interact with them. Their relationships do not
do anything good for them or for others.
Those who use anger as a
way of exchange are of the lowest of consciousness, completely ego motivated.
Angry people are trapped
in a nightmare. Anger being an aspect
of us all.(we
are all
one), we all contribute
into the mass mind,
the collective consciousness of humanity. But, one can get rid of anger.
Anger results from harboring
a belief in injustice.
People believe they are victims, that they are at the mercy of life, that
it's just not 'in the cards' for them, that they don't matter in the scheme
of things.
The soul has a way out of
all this garbage. The soul connects to the Spirit of all. Christ came into
this physical world to point people toward this:.John
14:6 "Emmanuel said unto him I am the way the truth and the life. No
man comes unto the Father but by me."
This is the
way unseen by those out of awareness of spiritual things.
Angry people are at war with
themselves as deep seated fears held onto over many years continually shove
them to frustration,
conditioning them to fail in everything good in their lives. Resentments
and grievances are the marks of angry people.."Resentment
is like drinking poison and thinking it will kill your enemy."....Nelson
Mandela.
Those using anger are shouting
that their heart is far apart from those they are angry at, that they are
beyond a peaceful solution, if indeed, any grievance
was valid. Their
consciousness is such that they are unable to tune in to the hearts of
others.
Anger always has to do with
frustration.(knotted
up inside with confusion
and discord).of
some kind and its usually instant displeasure. Someone else is not acting
as you think they should in
order to make you happy.
Anger sees things from one
point of view, one's own. One who is angry cares only for their
feelings.
Researcher Mary Davis, Arizona
State University, found that suspicious, resentful, cynical,
controlling people who tend to be reactive in or displeased about aspects
which occur in social situations, have a personality that is as harmful
as a bad diet. 'Calmis downis' is good advice.
Watching Your Mind: If you
have felt a certain emotion many times in your life, how could it be caused
by another? Perhaps God brought these situations into your life to show
you something that you are able to get rid of that resides in you, something
that should not be there as it's poisoning your character. For example,
you get angry at something someone says or does. But this has happened
before to you. Is the anger really caused by the other person. No. Instead
it is your reaction to a trigger presented by another and an opportunity
for you to, in return, fix this character fault.in
you.
It is all how.you.see
it. If your foot hurts you fix it. You know that it's your problem, not
the person standing beside you on the street corner. Yet somehow we figure
emotional reactions are not our problem. Are we really sane?
Anger presents an opportunity
to master it with love, forgiveness and determination to improve the self,
so one is not so critical about the self. Those 'fed up with themselves'
often harbor anger, using it to cover displeasure with themselves. Avoiding
being angry with others is a good character quality:.Proverbs
19:11 "The discretion
of a man defers
his anger and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.(a
hurt done to him)."
How to deal
with it? Become a spiritual person, called a Christian in the Bible!
Why
not?
Anger involves expression,
usually through words:.Proverbs
15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous.(hurtful
words you throw back in the other person's face).words
stir up anger."
You are not too wise if you
fuel another's anger:.Proverbs
29:8 "Scornful men bring a city into a snare, but wise men turn away
wrath." Ecclesiastes 10:4 "If
the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place, for
yielding pacifies great offences."
If your superior is angry
with you, be discreet
by remaining unaffected emotionally from the displeasure of the moment
and deal positively.(seek
or be agreeable toward a reasonable solution).with
it as calmly and intelligently as you can:.Proverbs
15:18 "A wrathful.(angry).man
stirs up strife,
but he that is slow to anger
appeases
strife." Proverbs 16:32 "He that
is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that rules his spirit
than he that takes a city."
Being around an angry person
can be such a trial. Some people it seems always are bordering on anger.
James
1:19 "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath."
