Download This Message ->. 230526 – The Bible Part 16 – Hindrances to Our Prayer Life – Anger and Bitterness

Strife will always lead to anger if it goes unchecked.

Ephesians 4: 26 – 27 When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. (27) Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. (Amp. C)

Anger will affect both our mental and physical health

James 1: 19 – 20 Understand [this], my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. (20) For man’s anger does not promote the righteousness God [wishes and requires]. (Amp. C)

Ephesians 4: 31 Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). (Amp. C)

If we do not deal with it, anger, offenses, and bitterness will cripple our current and future lives.

God’s best in our lives gets aborted because we do not scripturally deal with our past. We do not forgive.

The Root of Bitterness gets its nourishment to grow from meditating and dwelling on the offense, anger, and bitterness.

If you deal with your heart and mind quickly the devil will not be able to gain a foothold and turn offense or anger into a weapon against you.

When we allow anger, offense, or bitterness to go unchecked, we lose our Spiritual authority.

The longer the person dwells on the anger and offense the harder they are to deal with.

Anger and offenses will become strongholds in our lives if we do not deal with them.
