Mike's Anger Management Workshop

" What's Your Problem"

When the work of Christ is pictured in terms of an atoning sacrifice, it is God who takes the initiative. The word ?propitiation,? used in this connection in older English versions of the Bible (Rom. 3:25; 1 John 2:2; 4:10), does not mean that sinful men and women have to do something to appease God or turn away His anger; neither does it mean that Christ died on the cross to persuade God to be merciful to sinners. It is the nature of God to be a pardoning God. He has revealed His pardoning nature above all in the person and work of Christ. This saving initiative is equally and eagerly shared by Christ: He gladly cooperates with the Father?s purpose for the redemption of the world. But the good news is that, as Christians, although we may be in the world, according to John 17, we are not of the world. We don't have to operate on the world's system, reacting like the world. Our attitude and approach should be entirely different. The world responds to difficulties by being upset, but Jesus said in John 14:27 that we should stop allowing ourselves to be agitated, disturbed, and upset

ANGER

  • To arouse anger or wrath in;

  • To become angry.

  • The emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view, it is a original susceptibility of our nature, just as love is. And is not necessarily sinful.It may however become sinful when causeless,or excessive, or protracted. Matt.5:22 Eph4:26 Col3:8 as ascribed to God it merely denotes His displeasure with sin and sinners Ps.7:11
  • Susceptibility= Part of our emotions (soul) mind will emotions.
  • Causeless= Supposed
  • Excessive= Going beyond the usual necessary,or proper limit.
  • Protracted= To draw out or lengthen in time prolong. Eph.4:26
  • Emotional Pain= Rejection,Judgment, Betrayal, Criticism, all very real and very devastating.
Gifts from the Holy Spirit

12 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts. 2 You know the way you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idols? things that could not speak. 3 So I want you to understand that no one who is speaking with the help of God?s Spirit says, ?Jesus be cursed. ? And no one can say, ?Jesus is Lord,? without the help of the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. 5 There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve. 6 And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do. 7 Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, for the common good. 8 The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom, and the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge. 9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. 10 The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages and to another the ability to interpret those languages. 11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit decides what to give each person.

HEALING WHERE YOU HURT...
ON THE INSIDE

This is a story of God's healing which sets the captive free.
There are many evil spirits Satan uses to make people miserable,but I personally believe that anger is a master spirit. Anger and fear seems to be the roots of the problems that steal our peace.
I was bitter about my past and had a chip on my shoulder, which caused me to have the attitude that everyone owed me preferential treatment. I was full of self-pity, especially if things did not go my way. I was controlling, manipulative, fearful, insecure, and harsh. I was just plain hard to get along with and often downright obnoxious. I was judgmental, suspicious, and very negative. I experienced a lot of guilt and condemnation. I had a shame-based nature; therefore, everything I attempted was poisoned. Since I did not like who I was, I spent many years trying to be like someone else -I am sure you are getting the picture that I was quite a mess.But when I got to the point where I couldn't go on God stepped in and I'm forever gratefull.

GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK

{10 pixel wide t-gif}
If you don't like yourself, you're not going to enjoy life very much. People who don't accept themselves and don't get along with themselves have a difficult time accepting and getting along with other people. The bible says, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." I personally spent years having a hard time getting along with other people and finally realized through the Word of God that my difficulty with other people was rooted in my difficulties with myself. The bible says a good tree will bear good fruit and a rotten tree will bear rotten fruit. The fruit in our lives comes from the roots within us. If you're rooted in shame, guilt, inferiority, rejection, lack of love and acceptance, etc., you will bear bad fruit in your relationship with yourself and others until you get rooted and grounded in God's love. Once you have a revelation that God loves you unconditionally, you will be able to begin to accept yourself and eventually these new roots will produce good fruit in your relationship with other people. Stop for awhile and ask yourself, "How do I feel about myself?" I want to share 10 tips on how to succeed at being yourself. I believe they will help you. 1 Never, Never say negative things about yourself - things like "I never do anything right. I'll never change. I'm ugly. I look terrible. I'm dumb. Who could ever love me? etc,". Matthew 12:37 says, "...by your words you will be justified..., and by your words you will be condemned ... In other words, however we talk about ourselves is the way we feel about ourselves. 2. Don't meditate (think on) negative things about yourself. Proverbs 23:7 says, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." 3. Speak (as private confessions) good things about yourself. Say something about yourself in line with what the Word says about you. For example: "I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am made acceptable in the Beloved. God created me and formed me with His own hand and God doesn't make mistakes." I like to start my day saying good things about myself, the day, my future, etc., perhaps while you're taking a shower, driving to work, or cleaning the house. I also encourage you to look at yourself in a full-length mirror and say out loud, "God loves you, I love you, and I accept you." Also, you might try giving yourself a hug. This is very beneficial to people who have lacked love and acceptance in their lives. 4. Never compare yourself with other people. God must love variety or we wouldn't all look different. We are all created differently even down to our fingerprints. You'll never succeed at being yourself if you're trying to be like someone else. Other people can be a good example to you; but even then, good traits if duplicated will manifest differently through your individual personality. 5. Focus on your potential instead of your limitations. I read an interesting story about Helen Hayes. She was a great actress who was told in the early days of her career that if she were 4 inches taller she would be the greatest actress of her time. Helen was 5 feet tall. Her coaches tried various methods of stretching her but nothing increased her height. She refused to concentrate on the supposed limitation of being 5 feet tall and decided to concentrate on her potential. As a result, she was eventually chosen to play Mary, Queen of Scotland, one of the tallest queens who ever lived. 6. Find something you like to do that you do well, and do it over and over. If you spend your time doing things you're not good at, it will frustrate you and cause you to feel defeated and unsuccessful. 7. Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a man pleaser. Read Galatians 1: 10. 8. Learn to cope with criticism. If you dare to be different, you'll have to expect some criticism. Going along with the crowd when you know in your heart God is leading you in a different way is one of the reasons people don't succeed at being themselves. You won't like yourself very much if you go against your own convictions. 9. Don't let the way another person treats you determine your worth. 10. Keep your flaws in perspective. People with a high level of confidence have just as many weaknesses as people without confidence, but they concentrate on their strengths not their flaws or weaknesses. In conclusion. let me remind you of my opening statement. If you don't like yourself, you're not going to enjoy life very much.
