Pastor James Kilgore, Jr. Has been speaking on a series of lessons that I just got a small taste of while visiting life tabernacle this past weekend, but it started me thinking...
Dear AFF'ers,
The mind think of
Anger is:
"You owe Me". For the past 8-10 months I have been filled with so much anger that I have sabatogued many areas of my life. I felt like I had given of myself spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially until there was nothing left for me to give and I thought that now it was my turn to receive. You know, the law of reaping and sowing...I have sowed and now I proclaimed it was time to reap. But nobody was cooperating.
Since Genesis when Cain slew his brother Able out of anger until today when anger causes strife, murder, dissention, and offese...anger is a terrible thing. It infects the person and all those around them.
Today I am proclaiming freedom from the anger that has poisoned my mind, heart, and life and give it over to Christ. I am confessing for accountability and because I need to. If I have poured my anger out onto anyone in this forum I apologize and ask that you forgive me, and please pray for me as I realign myself to God's character.
Humbly, Sis. Rhonda R. Cyprus
