1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: And they departed from the mount of the Lord three

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: day's journey, and the ark of the Covenant of the

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Lord went before them in three days journey to search

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: out a resting place for them. Numbers ten thirty three. Lord,

Speaker 1: to rise upon me and scatter the darkness that would

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: seek to block your purposes from coming forth. Thank you

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,159

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: path before me. Thank you that you cause me to

Speaker 1: priority in your life. Our goal for today's meditative prayer

23
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: is releasing anger. Step away for a minute from the

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: demands of life. Position yourself in a comfortable way in

25
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: a quiet environment. Close your eyes, take a few calming,

26
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: deep breaths. Now focus your attention on today's verse. We

27
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: will be meditating on Proverbs, chapter thirty, verse thirty three

28
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: from the King James version. Surely the churning of milk

29
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: bringeth forth butter, and the ringing of the nose bringeth

30
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: forth blood. So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

31
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: Now take a moment to pour out your adoration to

32
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: God for who he is. God, I praise you for

33
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: your ability to do immeasurably more than all we ask

34
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: or imagine, according to your power that is at work

35
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: within us. To you be the glory in the Church

36
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

37
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Some emotions are easier to work through than others. Anger

38
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: is not one of them. When anger takes over, it

39
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: removes the ability for logical rational thought. No good resolution

40
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: can come from a place of anger, because stirring up

41
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: anger will just cause strife. Like a disease. Anger can

42
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: spread and contaminate others around you. Under the influence of anger,

43
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: what was once a possible misunderstanding can turn deadly. Acting

44
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: out in anger can cause family feuds, lost friends, and

45
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: professional positions. Anger will never produce anything good. It will

46
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: only affect others and yourself in a negative way. If

47
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: you've been wrestling with anger, the Holy Spirit can help

48
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: you change. Pray to God. Confess to the Lord your

49
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: feelings of anger. Let the Holy Spirit minister to that

50
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: area of your heart. Take a moment now to dwell

51
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: on God's goodness in your life. Thank God for the

52
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: fruits of his Holy Spirit. Thank Him for enabling you

53
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: to be patient and kind, to control your anger and

54
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: not act on it. Thank God for teaching you to

55
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: have patience and wisdom in times of rage. Thank God

56
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: for the ability of self control. Thank the Holy Spirit

57
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: for bearing Godly fruit in your life. For the moments

58
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: he spent ministering God's grace to you. Thank God for

59
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: past progress you have made in this area and for

60
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the progress yet to be made. Do not forget. God

61
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: is present and he is listening to you. He desires

62
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: to teach you to have patience in times of anger.

63
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: He wants you to be in control of yourself in

64
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: all circumstances, so reach out to Him for his help.

65
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Pray for God to give you a cool head in

66
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: a hot situation. For you to be able to walk

67
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: away from an escalating problem and compose yourself. Pray for

68
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: grace to deal with anger. Ask the Holy Spirit to

69
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: teach you to have wisdom to know to walk away

70
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: and calm down. Remember nothing good comes from anger, for

71
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: it causes strife. Be wise in your interaction with others.

72
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Do not push arguments and don't provoke altercations. Acknowledge and

73
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: address conflict and issues in a godly manner. Choose to

74
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: act from a place of grace and love. Be the

75
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: better person, the person God has called you to be.

76
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,360
