Battle for the Heart – You Owe Me
5.3.26
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Every one of these heart issues is rooted in the same idea—.
Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV)
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.”
At the core of anger is: “.
Matthew 18:21-35 (NIV)
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. 23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Matthew 19:35 (NIV)
“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
“You took something from me.”
“You owe me.”
“Until you pay me back, I will hold this debt against you.”
Anger says, “You owe me,” says, “You don’t owe me anymore.”
is the decision to cancel the debt.
Battling Anger in Your Heart
1. who you’re angry with
2. what they owe you
3. the debt
4. the case
You don’t heal anger by understanding it. You heal anger by it.
What God reveals, God can heal.
You cannot hold onto anger and walk in at the same time.
