my my leaders yo check this out this is going to be a real quick video okay today this video I didn't want to show up to it for a specific reason I said Lord let me let me wait let me wait this thing out but the Lord continues to reveal to me me Michael what I want you to speak is not based on on how you feel is based on being obedient so my leaders this year we've been speaking about Happy New Year's the year just begun and even though I'm smiling now earlier I wasn't smiling and I wasn't smiling because it wasn't happy New Year for me it was
angry New Year's it was angry New Year's already the enemy at work triggers have happened and because of of this God has revealed to me that I'm going to be speaking a lot about emotional intelligence and how to handle these Furious emotions from a Biblical perspective and so today's scripture ironically Holy Spirit helped me preach this one is is Proverbs 1911 I'm going to have us read this but I want us to pray first heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord I ask that you go before me right now God go before me and allow me to speak what you would have me share with this leader
to help them in the area of anger Lord guide me as I pour on to this leader lead me and have me share what you would have me share but let's talk about this text Lord and let this be a seed for this leader moving forward into this year in Jesus name we pray amen my leaders Proverbs 1911 it reads the discretion of a man deferred his anger and it is his glory to pass over a transgression the discression the disc ression the the self Restraint of a man deferred his anger it it slows down when we have this selfcontrol the self-restraint when we've been offended or there's been an
offense or we feel like yo maybe just maybe I've been done wrong and I I have this need to lash out or get back the discretion your self-restraint will defer your anger why is this very important next verse it says it is his glory to pass over a transgression it is actually more honorable to pass over a transgression when you feel that you've been done wrong it is to your glory it is to a Godly Godly character Jesus Christ when they came after him he did not exchange evil for evil when someone did him wrong Jesus did not exchange wrongdoing for wrongdoing that would have been the wrongdoing okay and
I commend Jesus and I commend this text saying that it's honorable it's glory to pass over transgression and that self-restraint defers anger because today I needed that I needed that in all my attempts today to literally not go back to being the old me right the the Old Coach J before I was was saved I I I did a great job I did a great job at trying to restrain restrain myself all right I did a great job until oh some one thing tick me over I said ah dang I start spazzing out so much so that then after I let out how I felt I had to calm myself
down I had to go walk I had to get up out I had to leave the situation intirely but already at that point in time my leader I had already said what I said I had already aired things out that did not need to be aired out I should have just kept them to myself I should have just gave them to God and I should have just took the higher Road my leaders I'm just like you whether I'm whether I'm your internet Pastor whether I'm a coach I'm a human with flesh that every single day I have to repent to Jesus Christ and I'm realized and I and I always
realize my infirmity and my need for his Direction and my need for his correction at no point in time is a title or what I'm going towards stopping me from this flesh that has the ability to take control if I don't restrain it what I failed to do my leader leader was ask the holy spirit for help in that moment I failed to pray I failed to calm down the emotion of anger I failed to do that and I'm speaking about my failure because once again God gets all the glory in my weakness because he's real reminding me today to Michael this year if you gonna be better this year
by the end of this year when things like this happen there's going to be more things that are said there's G to be more reasons to possibly get offended or possibly get triggered you're going to get triggered Mike but it says here the discretion your self-restraint is going to defer your anger and it's going to be to your honor and it's going to be to your glory and it's going to show a Christlike character it's going to show that because at the end of the day when somebody looks at me I want them to see a Christ like character I don't want them to see the old J that wouldn't
that's not saved the old J that hadn't been been baptized the old JW that didn't have the Holy Ghost dwelling within them I don't need them to see that I need them to see a new creation most importantly the love of Jesus Christ my leaders if you're watching this video today and you've been offended or you feel like you've been offended whether it's right or wrong and you feel this need to get angry my leaders I want y'all to remember Proverbs 1911 that it's to literally it's your honor it's to your honor to pass over that offense it's not as big as you think about it it's not as big
as you think it is and as this night ends ends today I'm realized that dang I ain't as mad as I was before all I if I literally could have just waited okay I could have passed that test so I'm thankful for this moment of failure because now I know where I need to grow moving forward this year my leaders if you are feeling tempted to get angry the best way to pass over this transgression and defer your anger and have have self-restraint is to go to prayer go to prayer ask the Holy Spirit to take over and flee from any situation because it's to your honor many give you
all when you get angry you aim to take somebody out you aim to take them out you hurt so you want them hurt okay but our words life and death is in this tongue and you can curse people or you can give people life my leader choose to give people life even in your transgression Jesus is hanging on the cross saying Father for they not they do not know what they do let us be like that moving forward my leaders heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord we thank you for this time we thank you for this hour we thank you for this moment Lord help us
dearly when we are getting into spaces of anger when we are triggered for whatever reason Lord God help us Lord God with your holy spirit let your Holy Spirit take over and move us in the right direction and cause us to be able to have self-control and self-restraint and cause cause us not to be offended to where we get angry and you said being angry yet sin not Lord cause us to not get so angry that we go to a sinner Lord we need your strength we need your peace Lord help this leader read Proverbs 1911 whenever they get into that space where they F to get Buck Wild God
help us this year God be better than we were last year we will not go back to the old us we are New Creations in Jesus Jesus Christ thank you for hearing this cry thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus mighty name we pray amen my leaders I love you but Jesus Christ loves you more it's to your honor and for the honor of God and the glory of God to defer and pass over the transgression see you on the next video we
