You can prayer this PreScripture pray anytime you feel the enemy is trying to push you into anger. Maybe God has been speaking to you about anger and you know you need to deal with it. With what do we replace our anger? Ephesians 4:32 tells us, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.īelow is a prayer we call “PreScripture Prayers.” These are passages of Scripture that have to do with exactly what we’re talking about. That’s what determines whether it’s righteous or sinful. When there is an unforgiving spirit a determination to exact the utmost satisfaction for the injury which has been done (merciless, unforgiving and un-redemptive)Īnger is either righteous or sinful-based on the degree of anger, the object of our anger, or the desire in the midst of our heart when we’re angry. When it is cherished and heightened by reflection (stewing, brewing and rehearsing the offense). When it is attended with the desire of “revenge.” That is always wrong (Romans 12:17, Romans 12:19 punishment or payback). When it is against “the person” rather than the “offense.” The object is not to injure another it is to protect ourselves. All that is beyond the necessity of immediate self-protection, is apart from its design, and is wrong (over reacting, excessive compared to offense) When it transcends the cause, if any cause really exists. We should be safe without it (quick tempered, short, unnecessary).
When it is excited without any sufficient cause-when we are in no danger, and do not need it for a protection. The sun doesn’t go down on righteous anger. Righteous anger is also settled and isn’t carried over. That’s the major difference between righteous anger and sinful anger. He was angry at the sin the people were committing, not the people. Here’s the important thing we must remember: Jesus anger was at the offense, not the offender. Jesus was sinless and therefore we know his anger wasn’t sin.

He turned over tables and cracked a whip to make His point. Clearly He was angry at the Pharisees and the moneychangers. There is such a thing as “righteous anger.” Paul writes in Ephesians 4:26–27, ““Be angry, and do not sin”:do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” There is a way to be angry and not sin. You are either going to trust the goodness and sovereignty of God in the midst of all of that, or you’ll choose to be angry and bitter. But, I have to say that when you’ve suffered the kind of pain my family has felt-massive, earth-shattering pain-you have a decision to make. Many people are angry with God for what He allowed to happen or what they feel He did to them. Consequently, they feel a degree of injury and the resulting anger. They can feel that God didn’t do what they wanted Him to do or what He said He would do. People can be emotionally injured as well. It comes from injury, whether real or supposed and the battle is waged in our minds. One dictionary defines anger this way: “A violent passion of the mind excited by a real or supposed injury usually accompanied with a propensity to take vengeance, or to obtain satisfaction from the offending party.” Don’t you think it’s interesting that the term isn’t defined as a violent passion of the heart? Anger is a passion of the mind. The related areas may be similar for certain strongholds, so careful and sensitive discernment is needed to know what the stronghold is.Īnger is yet another stronghold that we need, with God’s help, to pull down. These are some examples of strongholds (on the top) and the related thoughts and feelings that are often produced by demonic oppression to sustain them.
