Recently I noticed that anger is everywhere about the silliest things. This makes me realize that it is the devil placing feelings of anger in people, then they begin to think up reasons to fit their feelings. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
I am convinced that people are having these angry feelings but don't know why so they think something up, completely silly things that normal rational people wouldn't even notice.
These feelings are coming from devils sent out by Satan to cause chaos and war-like mentalities.
1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
The devil can't affect people unless he destabilizes them. They must be off-kilter to be able to be manipulated into thinking they had a reason to be angry.
If he can make people sad and lonely even without reason they can begin to believe something is wrong. Then they will create a scenario of their own to cause trouble in the lives of those close to them.
After causing all this turmoil the devil will cause the angry person to refuse to discuss a problem with a reasonable person, while hurling insults to demean, elevating frustration levels in the reasonable person.
The lack of communication and intense need to be seen as the right the angry person creates fear in the reasonable person to even bother attempting to fix a problem.
When we love someone we want to know what is bothering them. We want to know what we can do to help. Sadly though, the angry person enjoys their anger and does not want to discuss anything to come to a resolution, they want the relationship to be ruined in their need to feel superior.
In order to resolve a problem, one must be willing to admit what they did openly. The angry person will not admit anything, knowing if they discuss a matter they will find themselves solely at fault, having started and perpetuated the whole thing.
Those who want to discuss a matter are usually the innocent parties while those who refuse to resolve a matter are the guilty ones. It is not always this simple, but often!
Below are the scriptures that support what I am saying.
Proverbs 22:24
"Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,"
Proverbs 29:22
"A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes many transgressions."
Proverbs 19:19
"A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again."
Proverbs 15:18
"A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention."
Proverbs 14:17
"A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated."
So what do we do with all this? Its simple, as soon as we find out someone is foolish and angry as a lifestyle, then we are to keep away from them.
I am not talking about someone who is normally kind as a lifestyle. A kind person might have a bad day but will apologize soon after the rudeness because they hate being unkind to anyone. A kind person rarely acts rudely and quickly admits his wrong because he loves others.
Proverbs 29:11
"A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back."
Proverbs 15:1
"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
Luke 6:45
"The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."
