A few days ago I felt the Lord say, "Let's take a walk." so I bundled up and started walking the neighborhood and praying. In the distance I heard angry voices and saw two men in a driveway having a confrontation. Anger turned into rage and one man ran towards the other swinging his fists. I stood there and prayed out loud over them. They saw me (as I hoped they would) and I continued to stand firm and pray. Then one walked away and I continued my walk releasing peace along the way.
Anger - it is one of the main doors that demons enter your life. God showed me that scene to reveal that Satan is going to be building more anger throughout the earth because it gives him power. Here's how: Proverbs 22:24 says, "Don't befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul." This verse didn't say, "it will ruin your whole day," or, "you will pick up bad habits," it said YOU WILL ENDANGER YOUR SOUL! God is warning you how the enemy gets to your soul, and it is through the door of anger. In Genesis, Cain was brewing because Abel's sacrifice was accepted and his was not. God told him: "Why are you ANGRY? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your DOOR." Anger opens the door to your soul and puts it in danger. God was warning Cain about that door, but Cain obviously rejected wisdom and anger and murder entered his life. In deliverance, we deal with that Door a LOT! Think of it as a sort of portal where demons can come into your life bringing more anger and their counterparts. Demons travel in packs, so if you have anger issues, you most likely also have bitterness, unforgiveness, abuse, rage and LOTS of strife in your life. I look for the enemy to be trying to lure many people into fights, disputes and anger-filled dialogue this year as he is increasing his presence on earth. Proverbs 23:9 wisely says, "Don't waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice." That means, keep scrolling past fb arguments, let the crazy drivers go past you and save your breath. Let the rude cashier at the store go in peace. Don't engage with the hot-headed co-worker. Don't open the door! Don't engage and don't partner with that angry spirit in any way. Instead, wish them peace and MOVE ON. Be aware, Satan is most certainly going to be stirring the anger pot this year. Don't fall into that trap. Resist it and speak peace in your situations. Stay away from Movies that portray rage-filled scenes and characters - they contain a spirit of anger. Stay away from music that is angry. If you have a friend that is hot-headed, it's time to make a break. Resist the ridiculous notion from modern day counseling that it's "good for you to release your anger." That is a demonic attempt to get you to open that door. Don't fall for it. Overcome evil with Good and release peace and joy into the atmosphere around you. Demons hate that. :)
