Do you know someone with a bad temper, or is it you? A bad temper is a sign of ungoverned emotions. An outburst of temper says I want to control, and a self-centered person feels they must have their own way.

Control is all part of Satan’s nature, and he wants your nature to be just like his. He uses the spirit of fear to make you feel that you will lose something. Did you know that fear can turn to anger, anger to rage, rage to violence? If you have trouble with anger, stop and remove yourself from arguments and discord. Walk away and cool down. Don’t let your emotions cause you to lose your self control, or you make you say or do things you will always regret.

Also, if you give into the demands of a controlling person, you are allowing the dominance of his or her spirit of fear to control you and the situation. Remember not tor give in to a person’s temper tantrum, even if it’s a child’s. As a Christian, you are in Christ Jesus our Lord who gives you the spirit of patience and peace. Remember to stay calm and you will have the authority over yourself and that person’s fearful spirit.

God says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19 )

If you are aware that you have issues with your temper, don’t wait for the next blow up, pray that God will reveal every hidden area that is stunting your growth in the Lord. Ask Him to help you control your outbursts of anger and to center yourself in the Fruit of the Spirit, self control. If you know someone who has these issues, pray for them as well.

If you have not yet received Jesus as Savior and Lord, today can be the day! Call out to Jesus, He loves you and is waiting to hear from you. He will change you from the inside out turning your bad temper into His calming peace. Come and allow the Prince of Peace to be the Lord of your life.

God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
