Anger from those who live in Fear!

Those who are easily angered live under the bondage of fear. They fear loss of control over others. They fear being exposed for what they know is their real character. They fear being rejected by men and they fear not being respected. They do not care about being loved as long as people elevate them. They love it when others dread their disapproval.

Why do they fear all these things? They fear all this because they know how much they reject others, judge others, demean and mock others, and their attempts to dominate and control others give them special status in their own minds.

Those who walk in fear cannot feel whole or full of purpose unless others are fawning over them, elevating them to a level above everyone else.

Those who are like this do not love anyone and cannot stand for others to achieve something they cannot do. There is no appreciation for others, whether it be their God given personalities or their unique talents and qualities.

There is a complete lack of obedience to God's Word, leaving doubt that they were ever born again.

1 Corinthians 13:4-84 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

If we are to walk with Christ in authenticity, we will desire to be like Him. Valuing others' freedom to choose their path, even embracing the way God made them. We will love them, concerned about their walk with Christ, but never making rules for them that God never made, and never judging the small matters that are not sin, and that are none of our business.

Fear drives hate, it dominates and ruins the lives who are controlled by it as well as other relationships. Satan loves to instill fear and foster rebellion against God through busybodies and prideful self-promoters.

When our focus is Christ, we have little time to evaluate every nuance of the lives of others to diminish them to elevate self. No one who loves Christ with their whole heart seeks to elevate self, they are too busy elevating Christ.
