Freedom from Rage

Transcript:

Greetings in Jesus precious name!

Welcome to this beautiful and a brand new morning that we have received as a gift from the Lord. Today we want to know the Lord better, we want to understand His ways more, we want to live for Him and we want to live with Him, we want to serve Him in each and every area of our lives. Today, may the Lord cause your eyes to be opened, may the Lord cause your ears to be opened, may the Lord cause your heart to be remained open.

As the Lord ministers to us and continues to work upon our lives, He will bring to light a lot of things that need continual change and transformation. the more we yield to Him, the more He will be able to work on us, the more He will be able to disconnect us from things that might harm us, the more He will be able to help us in identifying the thing that can be sharpened and used in a better way.

Luke 6:11 says, “At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.” If we read the context, we know how Jesus healed a person on the sabbath. This healing irritated the enemies of Jesus. If it was anybody else who healed people, they wouldn’t have been so irritated. These people have been characterized as “enemies of Jesus.” When they saw Jesus heal, they were filled with anger and rage. I want to ask you a question! How often you get angry or jealous when you see God use a person, someone whom you don’t like!! How often we experience envy and jealousy just because we don’t have the right perspective with this person.

Today, the Lord wants to work on our hearts. He wants to heal us from every anger issue. The Bible says that “They were enemies of Jesus and that’s why they were filled with anger and rage.” My question is this, what is your identity? Do you identify yourself as an enemy of what God is doing or do you identify yourself as a critique or as a problem creator or a headache to the kingdom of God? Or do you identify yourself as a child of God, as a friend of God, or as a person who is going to be a blessing o your city, pastor, friends, church!

It is natural to feel envious, jealous, angry, upset or be filled with rage. The Bible does not condemn you when you are angry. The bible says you can be angry but not sin when you are angry. The enemies of Jesus were so filled with anger that they began to discuss how to hurt Him, how to bring Him down, how to invalidate His ministry, how to crucify Him, betray Him, to make sure that He doesn’t heal any other person again. Jesus was here to help people and yet because of their anger and rage and because of the way they have identified themselves, they began to act on their anger, rage and jealousy.

If today you can come to Jesus and get your identity fixed, if you can get your perspective about God fixed, if you can get your perspective about yourself fixed, it will become easy for you to receive from Jesus, it will be easy to fix your anger issues, it will be easy for you to not respond and react to your anger. You might be feeling really hurt and betrayed but you will have the grace to keep quiet and walk away. Your identity is not that you are a headache or an enemy of God, but your identity is that you are a child of God. There is a grace that is being released over this podcast for every person that needs to overcome anger, every person who wants to overcome all kinds of unwanted emotions and feelings that are hurting your relationships. The Lord is going to help you today. Will you yield to Him?

May the Lord cause this day to be the one where He will change you from the inside out, transform you, mould you and make you a new person. Have a blessed and a beautiful day with the Lord.
