30- Biblical Anger Management-Helps for Victory in Christ & Conclusion

 

                                                 Helps for Victory in Christ

The Lord is our Hiding Place and Refuge - Fleeing to the Lord and hiding in Him in time of need cannot be replaced by any other help, nor has any the equivalent. “You Are my Hiding Place, You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah!  Psalm 32:7

“You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” Psalm 31:20

“He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1

“You Are my Hiding Place; You shall preserve me from trouble, You shall compass me about with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7

 

Praying and Fasting are indispensable tools for breaking habits, chains, getting deliverance, and getting victory over problems: ”I love the Lord because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear unto me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.”

Psalm 116:1-2

“And He said unto them, ‘This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” Mark 9:26 .

 

Crying out to God - “ This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him from all his troubles.” Psalm 34:6

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:13

Abiding in His Peace -“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you,...” John 14:27

 

Loving God’s Word -

“Great peace have they which love Your law, and nothing shall offend them.” Psalm 119:165

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word.” Psalm 119:9

 

Walking in Holiness - Purity of heart, mind, motives.

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” Psalm 66:18

“and they do not cry to Me from their heart when they wail from their beds.” Hosea 7:14

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

 

Walking in the fear of the Lord -

“...and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” Acts 9:31

“Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared.” Hebrews 5:7

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and  the evil way, and perverse speech do I hate. Proverbs 8:13

 

Obedience - Suffering

“ Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered.” Hebrews 5:8

“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him.” 1Timothy 2:12

“There for since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. 1 Peter 4:1

Walk in Love -

“...but faith which works by love.” Galatians 5:6

“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily offended, (thinks no evil), it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ( Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things). Love never fails. ... the greatest of these is Love.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13.

 

Be a Disciple of The Lord Jesus Christ

“Come unto Me all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I Am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30

“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’

says the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.’”

Isaiah 55:8-9.

 

FELLOWSHIPING WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS – “If we walk in the light, as He is in the Light, then we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much more as you see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

 

BEING SUBJECT TO AUTHORITY  This is so HUGELY IMPORANT, and many saints fall into dangerous situations because they neglect or even despise this Biblical Principle. “Remember your leaders who spoke the Word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith…Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over your souls, as those who will give account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy and not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.” Hebrews 13:7, 17NIV

Even secular authorities as they are carrying out their God-given responsibilities, there is a huge safe guard for us. “Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God, and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation….Romans 13:1-2…

  As we follow the Lord Jesus Christ daily, walking in the obedience of faith, heeding His Word and allowing His Holy Spirit to have His way in our lives, we will find He will not allow us to get away with anything and will help us change, conform to His ways and enable us to changed more and more into His image. To Him be all the Glory !!!!

 

  When applied in faith and executed with pure motives the Lord can use these tools to work wonders and He will get all the glory, because as with any true success it is all by and through His power, mercy, and grace . All our righteousness are as filthy rags.”... for without Me, you can do nothing.” John 15:5   WE ARE TO NEVER TRUST IN OUR WORKS!

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Host.”

 

                                                            CONCLUSION

 I laid out as best I can what I believe may be of some benefit to you. I do know this, though, that one touch from God, and all this will be less than child’s play. Further, using methods and formulas thinking they in themselves are like some magic formula to get God to work on our behalf is folly. It is by faith and faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ where we make contact with the Father. All our efforts in the flesh, although they may have the resemblance of perhaps being sincerely religious, or even have a Biblical focus, will prove fruitless in the end.

Again, as Jesus said,” ... for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Nevertheless my hope and prayer for you is that the Lord will mightily visit you, help you, and deliver you into the wonderful victory that He gained for you through His Cross at Calvary! And may His keeping power and grace ever lead you into His awesome joy until your journey is complete or He returns.

Very best wishes in Christ Jesus our Lord with Love!
