ANGER
Do you have an anger problem? Well, the first step in solving anger is to ADMIT.
- ADMITTING that you have an anger problem is an open door to your deliverance. Don't let the devil use pride, shame, or anything else to prevent you from getting your deliverance. Many times we are afraid to admit we have a problem because we have been made to feel ashamed of many things by others.
Psalm 32:5. "I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my trangressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin."
Posted Sunday, May 16, 20102. The second step is TAKING.
Take the problem to God. Confess the problem to God and ask for His help. Repent of the sins you have committed and ask for God's mercy. God's anointing power is able to remove and destroy the power of anger over you. Fasting along with prayer will help. You may have to pray several times, but do not lose hope because the Bible encourages us to ask, knock, and seek.

2b. HOW DO YOU PRAY?
You pray that God will give you the wisdom and control over your anger. You do not pray for Him to eliminate it because, anger used appropriately is positive. It's okay for you to get angry against injustice, presumptuous sin, and a total disregard for the things of God. So if you were to completely remove your ability to become angry, you would not have the capacity to get mad about these things. Remember, the Bible states, Be angry and sin not. Ephesians 4:26).
3. The third step is REQUESTING
Requesting the prayers of others is very important, also confessing your problem to them because the Bible says that the effectual fervent pray of a righteous man availeth much; and that two can do a lot more than one. (James 5:16).

4. The fourth step is WALKING
If you sincerely pray to the Lord regarding your out of control anger, I believe He will give you the power to control your anger and, all you will have to do is walk in.
I John 5:14-15. "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: v15. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."

5. The fifth step is OBEYING
Obeying what the word or God says about anger is very crucial in maintaining control of your anger.

WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY ABOUT ANGER?
Proverbs 14:17. "He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a woman of wicked devices is hated."
Show me an individual who gets angry hastily and I'll show you a foolish act."

Proverbs 21:19. "It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and and angry woman."

The Tongue
Pride
Lesson 7 Continued
Lesson 9
Daniel 4:37. "Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."
Nebuchadnezzar made the above statement after he had received judgment for his sins of pride. His eyes were totally opened to acknowledge the majesty and greatness of the God of Heaven; and so he humbled himself, repented of his sins, and followed the path of righteousness that God expected him to follow.
God expects you to walk righteously before Him, and one way you can walk uprightly before Him is by letting-go your pride. King Nebuchadnezzar lost his kingdom because of his pride and was made to live as an animal under the open heaven, until he acknowledged the Most High God (Daniel 4:31-33). Perhaps King Nebuchadnezzar had forgotten where he had come from.
Do not ever forget your small beginnings. Do not ever forget when you did not sing well, or preach well, or teach well; or when you did not have a car, or an apartment, or a house. Do not ever forget when you lived from paycheck to paycheck; and when you did not have enough shoes, nor clothes, nor food to eat. Do not ever forget, lest you be lifted up with pride. Always remember where you came from and who did it, and that should give you a humble heart.
Sometimes I get the impression that some people feel that they are untouchable and that they cannot be moved. God can move anyone and anything. He moved Nebuchadnezzar. Whatsoever God gives He can rescind. Do not get prideful when God honors you. Do not use the opportunity to get even or to take revenge on those who've hurt you. Have a forgiving heart and allow the Most High God to avenge you.
For the Bible says that the eyes of the Lord are running to and fro throughout the earth, to show himself strong on the behalf of those who walk before Him perfectly. When you walk uprightly before God, there is nothing that He would not do for you. He becomes empowered to fight for you. He feels obligated to reward you for your faithfulness.
Walking in pride is never a wise choice. Pride always brings a woman down. Pride always destroys. Pride always engenders shame and disgrace. But be wise, and control you tongue and guard your heart. Do not utter prideful statements.
In Daniel 3:15, Nebuchadnezzar said, "...But if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" Also, in Daniel 4:30, Nebuchadnezzar said, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?"
A heart of pride speaks this way. Have you ever said that someone will never make it? or that someone will never be better than you? or that you are better than someone else? Then you see them begin to improve. How did that make you feel? Well, if you have an un-seared conscience, it should have made you feel ashamed and repentant.
Don't talk anyhow about anyone. Remember, God is always watching and listening. He even hears that which is not uttered, too. He hears your inner voice. He sees the conversations that you carry-on in your heart, and He judges according to the words and meditations of your heart.
PRIDEFUL ACTIONS
But there are also prideful actions: like not remembering what others have done for you and what God has done for you.
II Chronicles 32:24-26. "In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah."
Your pride can cause the wrath of God to come upon you. Let go pride now and walk in the counsel of the Most High God, today!. And now, may the God of Heaven always bless you and teach you out of His word. Grace and Peace.

"Excitement"
by K. Bamkefa
I started to sing one Sunday morning and became so excited when I sensed the richness of the anointing that was present. I had not experienced this move of the Spirit of God for such a long time, and I opened my mouth to hit a note, and a slight sore throat coupled with a lack of singing wisdom tainted what would have been a perfect worship moment.
Trying to redeem myself I repeated the same thing with little or no improvement. My husband looked at me with the expression, "What are you doing?" I finally surrendered and moved to the next song: it was a great success. Jesus redeemed me Himself.
I could still remember the joy and elation that inundated my soul that day. It was inexplicable. When the devil thought that I should have been feeling abashed because of a minor error, I walked back to my seat with my head up high, knowing that Jesus had lifted me up to a plateau of joy and honor that day; and even though my slight blunder elicited a few chuckles; that did not mess up my day nor my confidence because, whether my critics knew it or not, God had put them to shame that day.
He had visited me and perfected what was lacking in me. I had waited upon the Lord for such a long time: praying, asking, and waiting; and He came through for me. Today, God has used this as a testimony for many. If He did it for me; He will verily do it for you.
Grace and Peace.
Isaiah 40.31. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name, v19. Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."

I John 5:1-4
"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."
