Anger, Health and Forgiveness
What has one to do with the others?
Forgiveness, YOU SAY! Why should I forgive?! You have no idea what they did to me! Forgiveness, they don't deserve.
What does forgiveness have to do with my Health and Wellness anyway?
Everything.
You may feel justified in holding on to your anger. But your health suffers as you replay the situation over and over again in your mind.
Each time you rehearse the situation in your thoughts, you can become increasingly angry and feel even more justified. You may feel like you can't get over it, and that bitterness seeps deep inside you. Your health and wellness feel slowly drained away. Your anger and health can be connected and adversely affect you.
Our body has limitations. Anger, hatred, and bitterness are toxic substances, and our bodies react to them like any other toxin.
Many researchers study the effects of being unforgiving, there is mounting evidence that anger and health are related. Holding grudges and harboring bitterness can lead to long-term health and wellness problems. It's like living trapped inside of something much bigger than you.
The Power to Control You
People or circumstances that have hurt you can have the power to control you even when they're not around. Thinking about them can change your mood, and anger can dominate your reactions. Recognizing this helps you see why surrendering control to God is necessary for healing.
If left unchecked, this could develop to the point where your health suffers, but choosing to forgive shifts that power back to you, fostering hope and renewal.
Some progress to the point where you no longer care, and life begins to fall apart. The control of anger over you can cause you to drink excessively, smoke, overeat, or use drugs. You can lose trust in people and feel misunderstood all the time.
Anger, hatred, and bitterness are like a deadly poison slowly siphoning your health from you.
You may develop a chip on your shoulder or wallow in self-pity. The anger inside of you could spill over onto your family and friends with angry outbursts over the slightest thing. You can find yourself thinking the worst of people in most situations. You may become the avenger and dream of ways to get even.
Anger and health can have a powerful influence on your entire life, making you miserable.
In severe cases, many who hold on to those feelings stemming from anger could develop deadly diseases. Studies of anger related to health in relationships have shown that in cases of bitter divorces, one or the other partner developed a life-threatening illness. It can cause devastating health problems.
Unbridled anger and health consequences can develop symptoms of anxiety and or depression. Feelings of depression can become extreme. Some people can even come to believe the lie that their lives have no meaning. They feel like they can't go on anymore.
In this state, you feel at odds with your spiritual beliefs. Something does not seem right between you and God. But the good news is you can take away this power that keeps hurting and controlling you. What is the answer? True forgiveness.
Why should you forgive?....for all of the above reasons. It's For You.... that's why.
Maybe You Blame God?
But maybe you're angry with God. Do you blame God for what happened? God is absolutely good; there is no bad in God, even when bad things happen to us. Bad things don't change God's character. Have you considered that the fault may lie with evil and not with good? There is an enemy of God and man whose goal is to kill, steal, and destroy.
The serpent (God's enemy) is pretty slick. The evil one does the dirty deed and turns around and blames God. The God who loves you and made a plan to rescue you from Satan and his deceitful mind-controlling snare. Have you believed the father of all lies? Maybe you've been blaming the wrong god, the god of this world, the father of lies??
Remember, Adam was given dominion over the earth. The serpent stole it through Adam's disobedience. The enemy of God has disrupted God's perfect plan for His children.
God's plan was for us to rule the earth with Him. God placed man in the Garden of Paradise and planned for us nothing but good. There was no anger, health issues, sickness, or death, nothing but good. Our job was to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. We were to expand and make the whole world a garden of paradise, a heaven on earth.
The serpent is the one who caused all the misery that is on earth today. Satan stole that dominion and is called the god of this world system. He is the accuser of God. All evil, sickness, and sorrow come because of Satan.
It's time to take back from that liar what he said you could never have. Victory waits for you in the Kingdom of God. Jesus brought the Kingdom of God near. You are not far from it even now.
God does not expect you to walk down the narrow path on your own. You are not alone. God is right here with you. You can surrender all your anger to Him right now. Let Him take it. But you must release it to Him.
He won't force you. You must be willing to let it go, and He will remove the heavy burden you have been carrying. Ask Him to take it and fill you with His Holy Spirit.
God is willing.
Be Willing to
Let Go of Your Anger
Your anger cries out... "It's just not fair! Why should I forgive them?"
The benefit is completely for your sake. You are the one who is still being hurt, maybe long after the incident happened. God can bring you to the place where you “want” to forgive, because you are the winner here. If you forgive, you take the power they have had to continue hurting you. But to get to the place where you “want” to forgive, you must lean on Jesus to work that in you.
Forgiving doesn't mean you're excusing or minimizing the hurt. It means you're releasing the burden of anger and trusting God to handle justice, freeing you to heal and move forward in peace.
The victory lies in the decision you make— your willingness to forgive can lead to miraculous healing, especially when the hurt runs deep, inspiring hope and faith in transformation. Come to the place where you are willing to bring your anger to the cross and allow Jesus to take it from you.
“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord” Romans 12:19
It may help to look at your own life and see how many times you've needed forgiveness. Think back over your life. How many times have you needed forgiveness?
You can regain control of your own life through forgiveness.
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.” And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4: 30,31.32(NKJV)
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;” Hebrews 12:14,15 (NKJV)
Read that verse again. If you don't show the grace of God (undeserved favor) and instead allow the root of bitterness to spring up in you, your the one who becomes defiled! Resist the root of bitterness.
Get alone with God. He is there with you now. He sees you right where you are at. He may be the only one who knows exactly what you have been through. In Isaiah 53:4, we are assured that Jesus has "borne our griefs and carried our sorrows".
By faith, we can allow God to take all our anger, our hurt, all our griefs and sorrows off of us, if we willingly release them to Him. You must choose to let Him take them.
Spend time with Him and let Him minister to you in your heart. Ask Him questions and listen carefully within yourself for the answers. Listen for that still small voice, that gentle whisper inside. Ask Him to help you forgive those who have hurt you, like God has forgiven all your sins.
It is written, "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?” Matthew 7:7-10 (NKJV)
Ask God He is willing and able to give you the victory.
When you truly decide to forgive someone, you may feel a weight lift off you, as if a heavy burden were removed. You will also receive many emotional and spiritual benefits in addition to the physical benefits of excellent health and wellness.
The victory comes in 'the decision' you make, not in an emotion you feel—the decision to 'Want' to forgive puts you in line for the miraculous. The deeper the hurt, the more miraculous the healing will be.
Give all the injustice and your anger and hatred to God. He can handle it for you. He is the only one who can truly comfort you. He is the only one who can completely heal your soul wounds. He knows what you have suffered. He sees all. He is the only one who truly knows how you feel. And He is the only one who can do this in you and bring you through this.
God proved that you are welcome to come to Him when He spread His arms on the cross for you. There is no sin greater than the love of God.
I repeat, there is no sin greater than the love of God. The Blood of Jesus is strong enough to pay for all your sins. Believe it and receive your forgiveness today.
The only unforgivable sin is not believing in Jesus, the conviction of the Holy Spirit, called blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. John 16:8-11
Jesus said, "And He (the Holy Spirit) when He is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not in me;" John 16:8-9 (ASV)
Would you like to renew your commitment to Jesus today or receive Him with your whole heart for the first time?
Choose to believe in the Name of Jesus. Receive Him as your Lord and Savior. Decide to give your life to Him as He gave His life for you.
Ask Him to transform you, and begin living fully for Him now.
Hear the call from Heaven—respond now by openly confessing Jesus as Lord with your own words and a sincere heart.
Believe He died and rose for you. Decide today to accept Him and be 'Born Again' to receive eternal life.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6,7 (NKJV)
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:8 9KJV)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John 3:16 (NKJV)“
Don't delay; ask Him to come into your heart right now and experience His love.
It is written: if you openly confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
Believe and receive Jesus today for eternal salvation.
