Ephesians 4:27 (KJV) says, “Neither give place to the devil.” This verse warns us about the dangers of anger. When we let anger control us, it can lead to temporary insanity and open doors to mental problems.

Anger is a powerful emotion. When we get very angry, we might act without thinking. This is called temporary insanity. In moments of extreme anger, people can do things they normally would not do.

For example, someone might destroy property, hurt others, or even harm themselves. These actions can have serious consequences, including legal trouble and damaged relationships.

God warns us not to give a foothold to the devil. This means we should not let anger take over our lives. When we allow anger to control us, we open the door for negative influences. These influences can lead to more serious mental problems, like depression, anxiety, and even long-term mental illness.

Statistics show that anger can have serious effects on mental health. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 20% of people in the United States experience mental health issues each year.

Many of these issues are linked to anger and stress. In addition, studies show that about 50% of people in mental health hospitals have experienced severe anger issues.

Anger can also lead to domestic violence. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner violence. Anger is often a major factor in these crimes.

To avoid the dangers of anger, it is important to seek help. Talking to a pastor, counselor, or therapist can help us learn how to manage our anger. Prayer and reading the Bible can also provide comfort and guidance.

Remember, God wants us to live in peace. By trusting in Him and managing our anger, we can protect our minds and bodies from harm.

Romans 10:9-10  ⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

  John 3:5-6  ⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷
