Angry Much?

"Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools." - Ecclesiastes 7:9
We all get angry. We're human, after all. But, do you ever feel your anger is justified? Have you ever used the term "righteous anger?" The phrase is often used when someone has wronged us so unjustly that we say, "I have every right to be angry." And then to justify our outburst, we'll add, "Jesus showed righteous anger, didn't He?"
 
Well, yes, He did. But it is important to notice what triggered His righteous anger. Once was when He entered the temple and found it had been turned into a place for taking advantage of the poor. Jesus was furious about it because God was not being respected. Jesus also got angry whenever people were taken advantage of, mistreated, or were shown contempt. And Jesus became indignant when the disciples would not allow children to visit with Him. These are all displays of righteous anger.
 
But understand this: Jesus only became angry when others were mistreated. Jesus never got angry when HE was treated unjustly. So, how did He react when He was the target of injustice? Look at what Jesus did when He was unfairly sentenced to death, the ultimate act of personal injustice.
 
He said, "Father, forgive them."

Struggled for years: Boldness

 So many people battle with not being bold enough. This is a trick of the enemy. I know what it does to a person who does not walk in their authority given willingly by God through Jesus Christ. What is preventing you from being "The Real You." This was my battle for years, but the more I searched God's word, the more I realize what God wants from me. Please declare the below and trust God to show you how to be bold.

I give no opportunity to the devil. I give no place to fear in my life. That which man fears comes upon him. Fear hath torment.
The fear of man brings a snare, but perfect love casts out fear. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.
God has not given me a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. In righteousness I am established, so I'll be far from oppression.
I win not fear or be in terror. It shall not come near me.
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall. I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore I will not fear. If I were still trying to please men, I should not be a servant of Jesus Christ. But I am a servant of the most high God. I fear not, for He is with me. I'll not be dismayed, for He is my God. He will strengthen me, He will help me, He will uphold me with His victorious right hand.
I'm not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to those who believe. I'm a minister of reconciliation. I'm an ambassador for Jesus Christ. The anointing I've received abides in me. The anointing breaks every yoke. I received power when the Holy Spirit came upon me to be His witness. His Word which comes out of this mouth will not return void but will accomplish His purpose and prosper in the thing for which it was sent. I know my God, I am strong, I will do exploits. As He is, so am I in this world.
I am righteous; therefore, I am bold as a lion. He will never fail me or forsake me; therefore, I can boldly say, The Lord is my helper, I'll not be afraid. What can man do to me? As a young man, I am strong. The Word of God abides in me. I have overcome the evil one. I am an over comer. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I am a hundred-fold Christian. I am complete in Him. I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me. Grant, Lord, to Thy servant to speak Thy Word with all boldness while You stretch out Your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of Thy holy servant, Jesus!

As GOD'S OFFICIAL legislator and law enforcement agent:

 

I come in the name of the resurrected Jesus, whose I am and whom I serve, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord".

(Phil 2:1011, KJV; see also Psalm 82:1-8).

 

I effect and enforce God's original plans and purposes over and against the plans and purposes of Satan.

(Daniel 6:1-28).

I decree and declare that in this battle no intrinsic (internal) or extrinsic (external) weapon, be it emotional, financial, social, physical, psychological, interpersonal, spiritual, or organizational, formed against me shall prosper.

(1 Samuel 17:47; Isaiah 54:17; Jer 51:20; John 14:30; 2 Cor 7:5; Eph 4:27).

I place upon myself the armor of light and of the Lord.

(Romans 13:12; Eph 6: 13-17):

Truth to cover my loins (Psalm 51:6)

The breastplate of righteousness to cover my heart and chest cavity

(Psalm 5:12; 2 Corinthians 6:7)

The gospel of peace to cover my feet (Isaiah 52:7)

The shield of faith to defensively and offensively cover my body (Heb 10:38, 11:1,6)

The helmet of salvation to cover my head (1 Thessalonians 5:8; Isaiah 59:17)

The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph 6:17; Revelation 1:16)

The Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14)

A robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10)

The glory of God is my reward (Isaiah 58:8)

I decree and declare that the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God.

(2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:13-18; Romans 13:12; 1 Samuel 17:45).

I pull down strongholds, cast down vain imaginations and every high thing that lifts itself against the knowledge of Jesus Christ. My thoughts are now subject to the Lordship of Christ.

(2 Corinthians 10:5; Isaiah 14:13-14; Ezekiel 28:2).
