No one expels from their mouth something that is not embedded within their soul already. Whatever emerges from the mouth or expressed on the face is a small portion of the mass that resides inside of them.
If we find ourselves easily enraged by disagreement, then we know there is an anger inside that must be dealt with. Everyone has weak moments, Lord knows I have had mine. However, when this is a common practice continually, a sort of lifestyle of domination over others, then we know there is anger in the hidden soul.
When someone is continually angry, demonstrating a lack of joy then there is also lack of trust and faith in Christ. When Christ is our focus there is no reason to control or intimidate others.
Christ gives His children a measure of calmness that is constant, a steadiness. When we have a weak moment in life we are sorry we did, make it right through confession and carry on to grow a little more. We have all had to do this no matter how Spiritual we think we are, we fail at times, but it is not a continual lifestyle of over the top sensitiveness to correction or disagreement.
When our heart is bent toward Christ we will want Him to search our souls for the flaws that need fixing. We love to have more control over our emotions as well as a greater degree of trust in His ability to answer on our behalf. There is no need to answer every attack or retaliate in some way to make others "get it."
2 Corinthians 4:16-18. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Romans 8:26-27
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”
