Filling Up the House - Anger

If you have been delivered from a spirit of anger, here are some scriptures that will help maintain that deliverance.

Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. "fret not"...don't dwell on things

Pro 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. Become a peacemaker

Pro 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. You have to be the one that rules your spirit. You can determine whether you are going to allow anger to respond in a given situation or not.

Pro 29:22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. Anger and transgression or sin go hand in hand.

Ecc 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. A person who can't control their anger will often respond angrily out of misunderstanding and then ends up looking like a fool. That's because according to this verse he or she is a fool.

Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: just determine that you are not going to respond angrily

Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: There's a very good principal here, that we are not to indulge in our anger for an extended period of time. Holding on to anger can only be done if there is unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is the primary open doorway for demons. See what the very next verse says...

Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

Indulging in anger is an open invitation to the devil. When I find myself angry, it's usually because I've been hurt. Thus anger stems from unforgiveness. When someone hurts you it is therefore absolutely imperative that when that anger rises up, that you immediately forgive that person.
