Have you ever had trouble with your negative emotions? My goodness! I know yesterday was not a good day for mine. I about blew a gasket yesterday at work.

There was a situation where something wasn’t getting done. Product had been sitting around for three work days. When I was informed, I knew it was an issue I had to address, and like now!

This was an area where strong emotions were felt by the different parties involved. The operation step on the traveler showed it was one operation step’s responsibility.  Yet, the work generally falls to the operation step after.

Having product sitting around for three work days is unacceptable. So, I spoke with the parties involved, including the Engineer responsible and made the changes necessary. The Engineer had a difficult time with my decision.

A little later he slammed on the door window with his hand, waving me over to him. He had his boss the Engineering Manager with him. At that point my anger was primed and at the ready. Unfortunately, I unloaded in an explosive rant.

Smith Wigglesworth in his book Greater Works, Experiencing God’s Power, states we need “a double cure.”

“You first need saving and cleansing and then the baptism of the Holy Spirit until the old man never rises and then the baptism of the Holy Spirit, until you are absolutely dead to sin and alive to God by His Spirit (Rom. 6:11) and know that old things have passed away (2 Cor. 5:17).

When the Holy Spirit gets possession of a person, he is a new man entirely — his whole being becomes saturated with divine power. We become a habitation of Him who is all light, all revelation, all power. Yes God the Holy Spirit is manifested within us in such a way that is glorious.”

I wish to focus on and become so full of the Holy Spirit that my old carnal nature would  never rise anymore and that I am absolutely dead to sin, and alive to God by His Spirit.

To be saturated with divine power, becoming a habitation of Him who is all light, all revelation, all power is my sincere wish. I desire to have the Holy Spirit manifested within me in such away that is glorious.

These are the steps I will take today:

1. I will ask forgiveness for this angry outburst with the Lord. 1 John 1:9 states that if I ask for forgiveness He is faithful and just to forgive my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
2. I will apologize for my outburst with the Engineer, his Manager, and those within hearing distance of my angry outburst.
3. I will rejoice in the Lord for His love and forgiveness.
4. When I focus on my affirmations later today, I will pay heed to walking as Jesus would have me to.
5. I will focus on becoming full of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in my heavenly language (tongues) throughout the day.

The Bible says to be angry and sin not. Anger in and of itself is not a sin. There are times when it is OK. But, there are times when it can become too “over the top.” Which happened yesterday with me.

Have you ever had anger issues? How have you handled them?
