INTRODUCTION:
We are continuing with our study on Growing like Him in purity. In our last study, we covered one of the deadly sins – Pride. Let’s continue with this damning sin.

II. ANGER
Definition:
– Is a feeling of sudden and strong displeasure and antagonism against the course of an assumed wrong. It is also a dispositioned disease of human nature (Mark 7:21-23; Rom. 1:29-32).

TYPES
– There are three kinds:
-The Unjustifiable Anger – The strong and sudden displeasure and antagonism or reaction the course of an assumed injury often committed by the reprobates, regenerated, non-spirit-filled and non-spirit-controlled – Gen. 4:7
-The Justifiable Anger - (Righteous or Holy Anger) – A justifiable resentment felt directed against sin. This is often displayed only by faint filled and spirit-controlled children of God (Num. 25:4-13; I Sam. 17:26).
-Divine Anger – Just, holy and revengeful wrath of God against all hardened sinners who refuse the gospel. (II Thess. 1:6-9; Rev. 16:1; 19:17-21; 20:10-15).
-Peculiarity of Unjustifiable Anger – This deadly disease has the unique peculiarity of being committed to everyone regardless of age and status in life.
-A tiny babe biting his mother’s breast.
-A little boy breaking his feeding bottle.
-A house-wife breaking the Television Set of the family.
-A professor beating his wife.
-A blind man beating his guide.

CONSEQUENCE:
-It subjects its victim to suffering and hardship.
-It leads to divorce of marriage and dissolution of homes.
-It reveals the animal nature of man (Gen. 30:2; Gal. 5:19-21: Num. 22:27).
-It renders ineffective the testimony of the Christian – Peter (Matt. 26:51-52; John 18:10-11).
-It results in loss of joy and good things of life – e.g. Cain (Gen. 4:6; I Sam. 28:6; 31:6).

CAUTION:
-Avoid being angry and envious (Psa. 49:16; Prov. 3:31).
-Avoid grudge and murmuring against your brother (James 5:9).

CURE
– Recognize these sins as deadly and damning (Rom. 1:17-29; Eph. 4:30-31)
–Confess them – Prov. 28:13.
–Pray for crucifixion of self and its lusts in you (Gal. 5:24)
–Give yourself totally to Jesus Christ.

CONCLUSION: You and I need nothing short of transparent Holiness like Jesus.

CHORUS:
                Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
           All His wonderful passion and purity;
                O Thou, Spirit Divine,
                All my nature refine
              Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.

THE TWENTY-TWO (22) TENETS OF FOURSQUARE GOSPEL

-
These We Believe Our belief is based on core biblical truths we call the 22 tenets of faith. THIS WE BELIEVE; THE FOURSQUARE DECLARATION OF FAITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe that the Bible is God-inspired; perfect, with no mistakes; that God told certain men thousands of years ago what to write in it; that it is there to help us and to show everybody Jesus-the Son of God, the Savior of mankind; that it tells people how to live and be saved. (Matt. 24:35;2 Timothy 3:16,17; Psa. 119:105; 2Pet. 1:19-21; 2Tim. 2:15). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe THAT THERE IS ONE God, Creator of the universe, eternal, holy, loving, all-powerful and deserving of our praise and thanks; and that, in the unity of Godhead, there are three, equal and divine: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; The Father the King of the Universe, full of Glory and Majesty, whose justice demands that sin be punished, but whose love sent His own Son to take that punishment for us. The Son Jesus Christ, who has al

SPIRITUAL SCOTOMAS: Only the light of God's Word can pierce the darkness and help us turn from evil, shares Timothy Russell

  When I was young, I was riding in the car with my mom when suddenly it started raining heavily. I was listening to the radio and had the volume up pretty loud. My mom told me to turn the music down so she could see better. I replied: “Mom, you see with your eyes, not your ears.” However, when I grew older, I was able to understand what she meant. Although we see with our eyes, what we hear—or what we choose to listen to—affects how we see. In other words, our focus is affected by what we hear. The scientific term for a blind spot or area of low vision is a “scotoma.” Listening to anything contrary to the Word of God can cause a spiritual scotoma to grow. Spiritual scotomas do not allow us to clearly see the promises of God. If we do not see the promises of God, how can we stand on them? The devil is constantly speaking things into our lives, hoping that we will receive what he has said. If we receive what he has said, confusion and frustration set in, and spiritual scotomas begin to

PRAY CONTINUALLY.

-
Pastor Jack Hayford earnestly calls Foursquare pastors, leaders and church members to a lifestyle of prayer in the face of our nation’s social and moral decay.                                         January 24, 2016                           PRAYER America is suffering from an extended spiritual drought. While the social and moral decay of this hour may grieve us, discernment of the larger reason for this blight lies at the door of an all-but-prayerless church. I am not writing to assign guilt, for I have been too slow a learner myself. But I am writing with an invitation, one spoken from heaven and beginning to resonate in many hearts. ....................................................................................
