Blake Robert Templeton argues that uncontrolled anger gives the enemy power over you. He cites James 1:19-20 and Proverbs 16:32 to show that slowness to anger makes you stronger than a warrior. Choosing to respond from God's perspective instead of reacting impulsively cuts off the enemy's control.
The enemy can't control me anymore. Let me tell you why. I don't let anger run me. James 1:19-20 says, this you know, my beloved brethren, but everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. Check this out. Proverbs 16:32 says, he who is slow to anger is better than the mighty. So I just made a decision. I don't react. I respond from God's perspective. Game changer. Because uncontrolled anger is actually borrowed power from the enemy, and that's why he cannot control me. Can he control you?
