The people were amazed to see the crazy guy wearing clothes and talking rationally. In fact – they were so spooked (and angry about the pigs), they made Jesus leave town!
Here are 7 Powerful truths for controlling anger issues
1. When we are alone and unaccountable, the Enemy possesses great liberty.
The man lived in a desolate place (among tombs) – alone, which gave the devil great advantage.
2. No human being can break the chains of our anger.
He was out of control and no person could help him.
3. When we erupt in anger, we destroy ourselves – as per the Enemy’s desire.
He tortured himself, because he was unhappy.
4. Our desire to overcome anger is planted by Christ.
Christ’s power alone made the man run to be relieved of this great burden.
5. Since Christ planted the desire to overcome, He will also deliver.
Christ’s power alone delivered the man from the Enemy.
6. Your strong propensity toward anger and how long you’ve struggled to control it doesn’t matter – Christ is stronger!
”My name is Legion, for we are many” – a legion is a number of soldiers in arms. It denotes military power. We “wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12)!
7. This same Christ that healed that man is the One Who saves us from our sins, and provides a way of escape – the Word of God! You can’t control your anger – but GOD can!
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil.
Anger, left unchecked, can do irreparable damage.
BUT – we have a God Who is Greater, Kinder, Stronger.
He provides a way of escape! But you must believe. Faith is the key to unlock this door.
