Dealing with Anger

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus... Philippians 2:5

These studies are a compilation of questions rather than sermons, commentaries, or answers. These questions come through my own personal study of the testimony of John’s account of the life and ministry of our Lord. I believe by sharing these questions with you that it will stir your heart to listen intently to the Holy Spirit as He reveals Christ to you. From my own personal experience I have gathered that we retain more from what we gain rather than from what we are simply given. Therefore i humbly beg you to struggle over these questions and find the answer only within the scripture reference rather than your rationalization or your own personal understanding. As God challenged Isaiah in His revelation to him when He said, “Come, let us reason together.” I could give you these answers and I could have written a commentary on my personal experience from this study but that would possibly rob you of a deeper relationship with God through His Word and by the communion of the Holy Ghost. This is and has been the greatest need of the church and many have been spoon feed the Word and are spiritually malnourished because they have known only milk. Go ahead and chew on the studies and grow in grace and the strength of the Lord and know that He desires so much that His passion for you would be answered by your passion for Him through a hunger for righteousness. As a Brother once said, “I’m not even knowledgeable enough to ask a simple spiritual question. God has to stir my heart and put even the question there.” Here are the questions and if you would be so kind as to do me the greatest favor; share with me how God answers or how you respond because I love to hear His voice and to experience His handiwork.
