The Seven Deadly Sins - Part 3  WRATH / ANGER

“Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.”

Dr. Phil

WRATH (Excessive Anger)

Ephesians 4: 26-28

In your anger… do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are angry. Why? Because it WILL give the devil a FOOTHOLD in your life!

A Foothold provides a launching point for further invasion!

Anger is DESTRUCTIVE. It can be Explosive and cause both personal and collateral damage. It can also set in and act like a “cancer” that just eats away at its targeted person, object or circumstance.

If it is wrong to be angry or to display wrath, is it humanly possible to remove these emotional reactions to trying and difficult situations?  Yes!  But only as we undergo a

"transformation"

You ALREADY WERE Transformed at The Cross! -  2 Cor. 5:17

Romans 12: 1-2 – Lifestyle transformation  happens when we RENEW our minds by training them to focus on what’s right instead of negative!

Colossians 3: 1-10 – Paul says to GET RID OF THIS WAY OF THINKING AND BEHAVING!

Let’s "cease from anger, and forsake wrath" by presenting ourselves to God, allowing our minds to be renewed as we behold His Glory revealed in the Bible.
