Thank You for the Opportunity: Close the Door on the Enemy

Your anger may be understandable, but it does not make it productive. It cannot produce the things god wants. Your anger may be emotionally justified, but that does not make it spiritually righteous. That's right. Yes, sir. Just because you have a reason to be angry does not mean anger has a right to take the throne. That's right. Amen. That's good right there. The anger of man may feel powerful, but it cannot produce the life of God. [00:26:27] (35 seconds)  #AngerNotProductive

Goodbye to the memory. Goodbye to the wound. Goodbye to the pain. You know? You and I have had a lot of not so productive conversations over the years, but this is the last time I'm talking about you. This is the last time I'm talking to you. You ain't welcome here no more. Amen. Yes, The listen. The enemy keeps drawing strength from what should have been surrendered and healed a long time ago. Because what you rehearse, you reinforce. [00:30:28] (37 seconds)  #GoodbyeToThePast

What you refuse to resolve, the enemy will try to occupy. Some people think they are fighting spiritual warfare when in actuality they're living with old wounds. They're rehearsing old offenses. They're holding on to old betrayals. They won't let go of old disappointments, and they keep talking about old conversations. Are you all with me? One of the greatest things you and I can do to ever walk free and into the newness of life is just say goodbye. [00:29:52] (37 seconds)  #ResolveDontRehearse

Listen. If anger checks in and never checks out, it stops being a visitor and starts being an owner. And this is where it becomes dangerous because unresolved anger listen to this. Unresolved anger becomes resentment. It becomes bitterness. It becomes suspicion. It becomes emotional distance. You can be in a church full of love and still feel isolated and alone. It becomes harshness, coldness, and even spiritual dullness. [00:29:16] (36 seconds)  #EvictUnresolvedAnger

You let it be trespassed on? That's right. You gotta guard your heart. What does he mean? He means weapons are gonna words are gonna be hurled. That's right. People are gonna do things. There's still snakes in the camp. Shut up. They're trying to bite you. They're trying to toxify you. They're trying to poison you. But above everything else, guard your heart. You can't stop them from saying it, but you don't gotta believe what they say. [00:34:31] (26 seconds)  #GuardYourHeart

Listen, here's the emotion must never become our government. That's right. That's the real danger. Listen, anger becomes dangerous, listen to this, and I will bring this to a close, when it starts deciding how you speak. Anger becomes dangerous when it starts deciding how you interpret, how you remember, how you judge motives, how you hear your spouse, how you hear correction, and listen to this one, how you hear God.

Once emotion gets on the throne, discernment leaves the room. What's that mean? Anger doesn't make you think clearer. Anger doesn't make you holier. Anger doesn't make you wiser. Anger does not make you more discerning. Anger opens up an opportunity for the devil. And when he comes in, he does not have your best interest at heart. [00:37:41] (29 seconds)  #KeepDiscernment

Amen. Yes. I said, if it ain't of heaven, it's alien. Amen. Fear's an alien. That's right. Death's an alien. Yes. And they're illegal aliens. Yes. We ain't talking about where you come from, Latin America, South America, I could care less. I'm talking we're kingdom folk. Yes. And if it ain't of heaven, it don't belong in our lives. Yes. If God didn't originate it, it don't it it has no place. [00:22:15] (23 seconds)  #IfItsNotFromHeaven
