HOW TO BE A FOOL !

MANY THINGS IN TODAY'S LIFE WILL CAUSE US TO BE UPSET, DISTURBED, EVEN ANGRY.

I DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE COVER TO COVER, BUT I POSSESS A FAIR GRASP OF IT'S CONTENTS. I MUST REPORT THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER READ ANY THING IN THE BIBLE MAKING REFERENCE TO OUR BEING UPSET, OR DISTURBED.

THE PROBLEM TODAY LAYS IN THE EMOTION OF ANGER.

THIS EMOTION IS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURES THOUGH THE MAJORITY OF TIMES IT MAKES REFERENCE TO GOD'S ANGER, WE ARE ALSO MENTIONED IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS ANGER.

Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

BASED ON WHAT PAUL IS SAYING IN EPHESIANS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS EMOTION OF ANGER IS A PRECIPITANT OF SIN, WE ARE THEREFORE ENCOURAGED NOT TO ALLOW FOR IT'S PROLONGED PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES.

WE ARE EVEN ADMONISHED TO RID OURSELVES OF IT BEFORE THE SETTING OF THE SUN.

LET'S BE MINDFUL THAT PAUL DIDN'T FORBID ANGER, HE EVEN APPEARS TO ENCOURAGE IT'S VENTING PROPERTY'S, BUT NOT IT'S MANIFESTATION INTO WRATH.

SIMPLY PUT, WRATH IS ANGER IN ACTION. WE ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL A CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE IT'S NATURAL DUE TO OUR FLESH, AND ADAMIC NATURE, BUT WE ARE NOT TO ACT UPON IT, OR ALLOW IT TO STICK AROUND.

WHEN ANGER IS ALLOWED TO FESTER WE RISK IT TURNING INTO EVEN GREATER FORMS OF BONDAGE IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY, AND BE DELIVERED FROM.

BONDAGE'S SUCH AS RESENTMENT, HATRED, UNFORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS, ETC....

AFTER CLOSE EXAMINATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THESE BONDAGES, YOU WILL MORE TIMES THEN NOT, DISCOVER THAT THE ROOT EMOTION THAT PRECIPITATED THEIR CURRENT CONDITION WAS ANGER.

BRINGING US TO OUR TOPIC TEXT FOR TODAY.


Ecclesiastes 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.


IT IS ALWAYS FOOLISH TO FLIRT WITH DISASTER OF ANY KIND, ESPECIALLY THE
KIND THAT CAN COST US OUR SOULS.

THIS OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE BREAKS IT RIGHT DOWN TO THE WHITE MEAT.

IF WE ARE ALWAYS ANGERED QUICKLY, OR ONES THAT ALLOW ANGER TO STAY WITH US, WE ARE FOOLS!

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO CALL YOU FOOLS ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, BUT WHEN GOD CALLS YOU SOMETHING, I GUESS THAT SETTLES IT, HUH ?

I WILL READILY ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN A GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD INDIVIDUAL IN MY LIFE. I'VE BEEN JUDGED HASTILY, AND HARSHLY BY OTHERS DUE TO MY TENDENCY IN TIMES PAST TO NOT ONLY BECOME ANGRY, BUT ALSO DISPLAY ANGER.

THESE JUDGES WOULD MOST TIMES BE THE FOCUS OF MY IRE, THEREFORE IT WAS PERSONAL WITH THEM, BUT LONG AFTER I HAD SPOKEN MY MIND, OR DONE WHATEVER I DID, THEY WOULD STILL BE ANGRY WITH ME.

MY POINT IS, THAT GETTING ANGRY IS NOT THE PROBLEM, HOLDING ONTO IT IS, AND WHILE I WAS BEING LABELED BY THEM AS HOTHEADED, THEY WERE BEING LABELED BY GOD AS FOOLS.

WHILE I RELEASED MY ANGER, AND WAS FORGIVEN, THEY EMBRACED THEIRS AND BECAME ENSNARED, AND BOUND.


2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IF EVENTS IN LIFE CAUSE US TO BE ANGRY, LET'S NOT ALLOW ANGER TO REST UPON US, CAUSING US TO BE FOOLS, AND EVEN WORSE TO BE BOUND !





I PRAY GOD'S PEACE N MERCY B UPON U AND URS !
