By enduring trials
we develop patience which is a prime.requisite
necessary for dealing with people when they tend
to get angry. If you lacked
this quality and now possessed all the power that God is eventually going
to put within your hands when you're in your glorified resurrected state
of being and someone angered you, I mean really angered you, you just may
retaliate
with wiping them out..Psalms
37:8 talks about 'ceasing' from anger. The disciples, the learners
with Emmanuel.had
to learn this too.
Does
this
make you angry? Anger of man means to become upset to a point that
your
soul nature is even more heavily clouded:.Proverbs
29:22. Some males and females normal nature has developed into one
of constant anger, ready to dive in to 'jump and bite' at the slightest.provocation.
But Creator-God gets angry
too:.Psalms
30:5 "For his anger endures but a moment...".God's
anger in the Old Testament was an anger toward those who lacked trust in
Him after all they had seen of God. It was more of a displeasure, but still
an anger for sure. Because Christ
took all anger and so much else to the cross with Him, in the New Testament,
there is not one verse talking about God's anger since the death, burial
and resurrection of Emmanuel Christ. God always did
delight
in being merciful:.Micah
7:18; Jeremiah 7:19. But His
wrath as shown so often throughout the Old Testament had a good purpose:.Romans
9:22,23.
One becomes excessively displeased
at something or someone for some real or imagined reason and then mentally
amplifies
the situation. Perhaps,
someone did not do something that you may feel should have been done or
done according to the standard you hold as true, so you want to 'straighten
them out'.
So now why do you
get angry? You see something and arrive at an evaluation of your interpretation
as something that may be a cause of fear, of pain, a feeling of being 'stepped
on', a feeling of frustration, a feeling of not being properly understood.
If you interpreted it as something pleasurable you would not have any anger
over that. So you have been conditioned to be afraid, to defend, to represent
the
ego instead of express the
higher consciousness things of the spirit.
Decide.(you
go nowhere without decision).to
have the intelligence to make observations rather than evaluations and
this requires open-mindedness.
An observation is an aloof
witnessing. Evaluations are based on your filtered glasses so
to speak; your interpretations
of what you are seeing and experiencing. This is somehow how you have come
to believe that you should look at things. And there are many errors on
this pathway:.Hebrews
12:14 "Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man
shall see the Lord.(how
do you see the Lord?.Hebrews
12:14)."
Avoid the lower consciousness
things of the selfish ego you have and we all have, such as giving orders
instead of asking someone to do something, such as making judgments on
someone or something without researching to gain absolutely all the facts
possible, such as making demands instead of requests, etc. At least be
intelligent and begin moving away from being a boor.
Anger is a decision, a decision
to deal with perceived
negatives.
Anger is something that
should be immediately dealt
with as it can both hurt you and others:.Ephesians
4:26 "Be you angry and sin not.(the
word 'sin' means to 'miss the mark'; don't miss the mark of the joy of
life by allowing yourself to get away from having a loving nature).
Let
not the sun go down upon your wrath.".It
is saying that if you have a tendency
to get angry, get rid of it quickly; keep on the track of love. Never go
to sleep having anger that you left unresolved.
Do not harbor
anger.
Angry people are really
not
in charge of themselves and should
be avoided as they often cannot be reasoned with.(why?).so,
why waste time with them? They have their own selfish schedule and may
care not at all about knowing that
peace
can be learned.
Learn to convert
anger by recognizing it. Look at your anger. Why?
Know what makes you angry. Anger is always triggered by pain, so what's
the pain? Dig deep for the answer. Then look at it. Then release it. How?
By having your awareness on the answer you came up with and taking a big
breath and thinking that you are breathing it out. It works! Everything
is
energy, every thought, every memory, every action. This is one way you
can use the energy for your good. Energy cannot be dispensed
with, only converted.
Enthusiastic
persons are not angry persons. Instead,
become easy to be intreated.(James
3:17).and
decide not to be an angry person:.Colossians
4:6; Psalms 78:38,39; 103:8;
145:8;
Proverbs
15:1,18; 16:28-30,32;
17:1,14;
19:1;
20:3;
29:20,22;
Ecclesiastes
7:9; 1Corinthians 3:3; Ephesians
4:31,32; Colossians 3:8,21;
James
3:16; 2Peter 1:2-10.
Anger
often comes from 'excessive desire'.(the
original meaning for 'lust').for
something not yet realized.(not
yet come into one's life that he was expecting and/or hoping for).
Frustrated
by the feeling of having to accept unrealized dreams, many lash
out at others.
Anger is a terribly demeaning
thing and is a result of lack of quality upbringing,
where a child has not been taught how to relate to others in a loving manner.
A lack of discipline
shows through quite readily
when a person 'flies off the handle'. Take a martial arts course if you
are disposed
to anger. The incredible discipline and respect for others.(how
to really see others who are antagonistic).one
learns, is of lasting benefit in life.
A
spiritual warrior acts from what he is inside instead of reacting to
what another may be like who has confronted
him. Spiritual warriors are those fighting to know who they really are,
those engaged in bringing forth
a
higher consciousness into their experience here on Earth, those alert
to their ego's opposite direction.
Spiritual warriors are those dedicated
to learning what
the soul can do:.Ephesians
6:10-15 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power
of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take
unto you the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in
the evil day and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness
and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace."
Coming from
egocentric,
ignorant, immature people, devoid
of heartfelt concern and empathy,
anger is the epitome
of arrogance and self-deception.
Anger often bespeaks
a soul crying out of a vacuous
existence, striving for self-importance, recognition, power and control.
Like in all things, there
is another side to anger; that of grieving for another who is hurting himself
when you can see how to stop it and they won't
listen:.Psalms
106:29;.Mark
3:5 "And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved
for the hardness of their hearts....." Psalms
103:8 "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous
in mercy."
God has
a
way he will use to correct the
obstinate.
God does get angry:.Isaiah
57:16 "For I will not contend
for ever, neither will I be always wroth,
For.(in
case one gets overly discouraged).the
spirit.could
fail because of me in the souls which I have made.(and
then the souls I've made would be 'done like dinner')."
Colossians
3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."
We often do not realize
it, but the type of patience is for us to carry on doing good when hope
in circumstances brightening up is no longer clearly seen. We must remember
that
all
the
promises are in Emmanuel
the Christ.(2Corinthians
1:20).and
if He is in you.(1John
4:4 ".....greater is he that is in you, than he.{you
and your problems in life}.that
is in the world").so
are the promises which reside with Him. He has them. They are His.
Hope
in Him. He has conquered all:.Romans
8:37-39.
The promises that are in
Him must unfold in your experience. But when, right?.Romans
8:23. Everyone wants and needs it 'right now'. They do not come till
the Kingdom of God, which is available
now..Hebrews
11:13.
Can you be content waiting
for your sure reward when all blessings will occur that you had been praying
for and all prayers will be answered?.Ephesians
1:3; 1Corinthians 2:9.
Every prayer is always in the process of being answered. How?
All prayers are heard instantly
and all are answered, either immediately or soon.-.why
soon?.1,
2,
3:.Matthew
7:7-11.
Depending upon urgency
and how an answer would fit into the sculpting
of you, an answer could come soon or later, but they are always answered,
somehow, sometime. With the Infinite One there is no time as we know it,
just
intent.
Know that then, this is His
will.(Ephesians
2:10).for
your ultimate
great reward and far more important
than material things which, like our flesh bodies, are 'here today and
gone tomorrow'.Romans
5:3;
8:18. Better to have the
ability to pack up compassion than 'things'
heaped on the self.
The people in Moses' day
had the same problem with patience. They tired of waiting for Moses
to come back from the mountain where he went to see
God:.Exodus
32:1-9. We all have this tendency. Emmanuel talked of it too:.Matthew
24:42-51; Luke 12:40-46.
Just because we're going
to be in the Kingdom Of God reigning on
Earth and helping physical human beings, does not mean that 'presto magico'
in the instant you are resurrected, that you will be infused
with the Creator's high consciousness character.
The time is now for
cementing the character necessary. Character is something that is for development
in the world of human creation through the experience of living and decisions
made therein.
