I would like to share a conversation I had with a friend who is struggling with anger issues. I explained to her that when we have faults and we all do or weaknesses in our lives, the enemy will use them as weapons against us. In her case, she has anger issues and it is her biggest stronghold. When she gets angry, she gets angry. I helped her understand and recognize the force behind the anger and it is simple...it is the enemy using her inequity against herself. If someone is struggling with alcohol or nictoine or drugs or in my case, food, the enemy will use them to tempt us to sin or fall. He hates God and hates us for we are God's children and therefore he spends his life trying to hurt us. So I try for myself to recognize it and rejoice because it simply means I am blessed and one with God and he hates it. The closer we are with God, the more he will press us. So when we are being attacked, rejoice because we are living right and are obedient and it is trying to dissuade us. Anytime you are feeling attacked, stop! Identify it and pray. This is how I advised my friend. If her life has been changed by her new faith in God and her biggest weakness or stronghold is her anger than it will be easy to identify when satan comes. If she feels rage or anger and it is out of control and really without merit, I told her to know first hand it is not of God and it is of the enemy so to know that:
Your inequity (example anger)=satan=recognition=overcoming=Through Prayer.
The next time you feel tempted by your inequities, stop and use this tool to overcome and rebuke and you will find amazing peace and you will know you are in the presence of the Lord. Do not be afraid, rejoice. It cannot touch you! You hold the power by the blood of the lamb. Amen!
Luke 11:21
