Angry Much?
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."

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).
