Freedom from Anger
Approximately 8 years ago my wife and I attended one of your Wednesday night classes, “Tearing Down Strongholds”. I believe this was a ten week course; however, we were only able to attend one session. The session we attended was titled “Anger, Frustration and Rage.
I had become a Christian about 25 years prior to attending this class and at the time of my conversion the Lord dramatically changed my life. I definitely had become a “new creation”. God graciously restored me to a new life with Him. I use to have a terrible temper and could fly into a rage with little or no provocation and when Christ came in, the majority of my temper disappeared.
Over the years I had grown and matured considerably, but I noticed that my temper was slowly coming back into my life. Anger had always been an issue in my family and I believe it is a generational curse that has been passed down.
At the beginning of the class, Jess prayed, asking God to reveal to the participants any experiences in our past that might have given the enemy a foothold into our life. The holy Spirit immediately began showcasing all kinds of experiences from my life as a youngster that involved rage and violence. I actually heard very little of the class as the Holy Spirit had my full attention.
Jess had a time of prayer with several members of his prayer team praying for us. I went back to my seat but still had a burden that had not lifted. Jess approached me and asked if I had requested prayer and I told him that I had. I explained that I felt anger had been passed down to me by my father and that I had passed it to my children.
Jess prayed for me again that the Holy Spirit would reveal anything that might have caused a wound the enemy had entered my life through. As he prayed, God brought to my memory an experience with my father that happened when I was very young. I had forgotten about this incident until that moment.
The Holy Spirit replayed this experience in my mind’s eye and I saw and felt that emotional wound as if it had just happened. I was crushed. All of this pain that was held inside of me for close to 50 years was released in just a few minutes of prayer... It was a supernatural experience that lifted a huge burden off of my life. It was as wonderful as when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior!
What a glorious feeling I had the next day at the construction site where I was working. All day I had the strangest feeling of being light and free. When I left the jobsite site, I came up on the freeway and a guy in a car cut me off and then gave me the one finger salute. It was at that very moment that I realized I had been totally delivered from that generation curse of anger and violence.
I called my wife on my cell phone and told her what had just happened and told her there may have been one day in my life when I hadn’t gotten angry and upset but I did not remember such a day. This was the first day in my life that I was anger free.
You should know this was not a one day wonder; this lasted for close to three months before I got mad again. Has it tried to come back? Of course, but I now know that I can rebuke it and tell it to leave and that I am in charge and have dominion over these spirits. I am free indeed.
