God’s 3-step training method to bridle anger:

Step #1: “Be Quick to Hear”

• Key Question: What is this anger telling me?

Step #2: “Be Slow to Speak”

• Our interim response to God, others, circumstances, and our anger is to “think before we speak.”
• Proverbs 10:19; 13:3; 29:20
• Key Question: What must I do to prevent a “verbal reflex response?”

Step #3: “Be Slow to Anger”

• Ecclesiastes 7:9
• Our life changing response to anger begins when we replace “reaction” with “reflection.”
• Key Question: What root issue is behind this anger? (ABCD Method)

Your anger, instead of becoming your worst nightmare, can be your best friend. In fact, God wants to turn your anger into a tool that will serve you and help you like never before. Join Chip as he unpacks this powerful tool from God’s Word.

Introduction: Anger is a secondary emotion

• It is easier to be angry than to face the deeper, more sensitive issues of anger.
• Anger is not the problem. Anger is the red warning light on the dashboard – something under the hood is amiss.
• We cover stuff inside that God wants to heal, forgive, and restore.

Three root issues behind anger:

1. HURT = Real or perceived unmet needs

• Tool: “I feel….” Messages – Attack the issue not the person

2. FRUSTRATION = Real or perceived unmet expectations

• Tool: “I desire…” vs. “I demand….” Statements

3. INSECURITY = Real or perceived attacks on my worth

• Tool: Ask yourself, “Why am I feeling threatened?”

Summary: The first step in overcoming the destructive power of anger is the COURAGE to look below the surface.

• Anger is the light on the dashboard; something’s wrong under the hood.
• Anger is our way of protecting ourselves from painful, hard-to-deal-with hurts, frustrations, and insecurities.
• Anger has many faces and despite its power for good, it destroys, unless we learn to…-Acknowledge it-Back-track to the 1st emotion-Consider the real cause-Determine to rightly respond

Everyone struggles with anger - period! We struggle in different ways: some blow up, some spew, and some repress. So, is it really possible to keep anger from getting the best of us? Join Chip as he uncovers what causes our anger, and what we can do to keep it under control.

Introduction: James 1:19-20

A look at anger from God’s perspective:

• Definition: Anger is neither good nor bad; it is a “charged,” morally neutral, emotional response of protective preservation.
• Positively – It can be a healthy emotion that motivates us to correct attitudes, behaviors, or injustices that we perceive to be wrong. -Eph 4:26-27
• Negatively – It can be an unhealthy and destructive emotional response to protect us from (real or perceived) hurt, frustration, or personal attack. -Pro. 19:19; 22:24; 29:22

Anger wears many masks: We EXPRESS our ANGER in such a wide variety of ways that many people assume anger is not an issue in their life.

• Spewers: Anger is necessary – They’re exploding or calculating time bombs
• Stuffers: Anger is wrong – They deny and avoid OR pretend and ignore
• Leakers: Showing anger is wrong – They’re passive-aggressive

What do you do when you suspect someone you know is under demonic influence? Do you know what to do? Should you do anything at all, or is this kind of thing reserved for the “professionals?” Join Chip as he tackles the important and controversial subject of deliverance ministries.

Intercessory prayer is pivotal and essential for corporate and individual deliverance.

• With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Summary of Ephesians 6:18-20

The means by which believers are to withstand and overcome the attacks of the enemy in spiritual warfare is by consistent, intense, strategic prayer for one another in conjunction with the personal application of the armor of God.

1. Intercessory prayer is our most powerful and strategic corporate weapon in spiritual warfare.

Ever have wicked thoughts or evil impulses? Discover the source of these wild thoughts and how to combat them.

Four facts you need to know

1. God has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin’s penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.
2. As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.
3. The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy’s attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.
4. The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan’s attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.

There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combat

• When taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growth
• When invading enemy territory
• When exposing him for who he really is
• When we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationship
• When God is preparing us for a “great work” for His glory

How to engage the enemy and win:

1. Taking up the shield of FAITH
2. Take the helmet of SALVATION
3. Take the sword of the SPIRIT

Summary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfare

1. Prerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual life
2. Understand your POSITION in Christ
3. DISCERN when demonic influence may be the cause
4. Claim God’s promises OUT LOUD
5. Take our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and depart

Condemnation. Doubt. Guilt. Is the enemy using these emotions to keep you from God’s love and power? How do you get rid of them? Chip explains how you can prepare yourself for spiritual battle and win!

Introduction: The South Pacific after WWII was won

• The victory had been won, but battles continued and lives were lost; the bullets were real.
• The same is true spiritually:

1. Satan was defeated at the Cross.
2. Sin’s penalty was paid for all people for all time.
3. Sin’s power was broken.
4. Yet, Satan and his host of fallen angels engage in guerilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God’s people and God’s program.
5. Believers are commanded to equip and prepare themselves in the strength of the Lord and in His mighty power to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes, repel his multi-faceted attacks, and engage and defeat him in specific battles.

Four keys to spiritual victory

1. We must become AWARE of the Invisible War.
2. We must learn to APPROPRIATE God’s protection for daily living.
3. We must learn to ENGAGE the enemy with supernatural weapons.
4. We must utilize God’s means of deliverance when spiritually attacked.

How can you prepare yourself for satanic attack?

1. Having girded your loins with TRUTH
2. Having put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
3. Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE

Application

1. Know and understand the content of the Gospel. -1 Cor. 15:1–5; Eph. 2:1–9
2. Know the basis for your eternal security and the assurance of your salvation. Security – Rom. 8:38–39; Eph. 1:13–14. Assurance – 1 Jn. 5:11-13
3. Faith is based on facts, not feelings.
4. Sharing your faith is one of the most powerful faith-builders available, often “the best defense is a good offense.”
