Day 1: Put Away Anger at the Root

Overcoming Anger

Day 1 — Put Away Anger at the Root

Scripture

“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.”

— Ephesians 4:31

Quote

“Anger may have walked with you for years, but today it no longer has a right to rule your life.”

Teaching

For many people, anger has been present for so long that it feels normal. It may have followed you through childhood wounds, broken trust, disappointment, or repeated injustice. Over time, anger can begin to feel like a protector or a personality trait rather than something that can be removed. But Scripture draws a clear line between what has been present in your life and what has authority over it. Anger may have walked with you, but it was never meant to rule your life.

Ephesians 4:31 does not describe anger as something to manage indefinitely. It uses decisive language—put it away. This means anger is not permanent, not untouchable, and not stronger than the transforming power of God. Even if anger has influenced your reactions for years, today marks a change in leadership. What once governed your responses no longer has permission to do so.

This 12-day devotional journey is built on the truth that freedom is not limited by how long anger has existed, but by whether it is still allowed to rule. Each day, you will take simple, practical steps to replace old patterns with new ones rooted in truth, peace, and self-control. You are not suppressing anger; you are removing it at the root and installing something better in its place.

Today is the beginning of a shift. Not because all anger disappears instantly, but because authority changes. From this day forward, anger no longer rules your thoughts, your words, or your actions. You are stepping into a new way of living—one day at a time, led by truth and strengthened by grace.

Declaration

I declare that anger no longer has authority over my life. Even if it has walked with me for many years, it does not rule me today. By the truth of God’s Word, I put away all anger, bitterness, and wrath. I am being renewed daily, and I walk confidently toward freedom.

Prayer

Father, I come to You with honesty and faith. You see how long anger has affected my heart and my reactions. Today, by the blood of Jesus, I release anger’s right to rule my life. By the power of the Holy Spirit within me, I receive healing, renewal, and peace. As I begin this 12-day journey, I trust You to uproot what no longer belongs and to complete the work You are starting in me. Amen.

Introduction: Put Away Your Anger

Overcoming Anger

Preparing for 2026 Supernatural Wealth

Introduction — Put Away Your Anger

Let us begin to prepare for the new year 2026. We are going to see some great things including a beginning of what the Bible describes a wealth transfer. The first devotional series will begin with excitement because we are going to discover “God’s Secrets for Supernatural Wealth.” So January 1, 2026 hold on Church God is going to do some amazing things for all who believe.

But first, we need to lose some things before we can gain. So let’s begin a short 7 day series to prepare for the exciting New Year. Let’s talk about anger.

Anger is one of the most misunderstood and mismanaged emotions in the human experience. Many people spend their lives trying to suppress it, excuse it, justify it, or control it—often with little success. But Scripture does not call us to manage anger; it calls us to be free from it.

The Word of God instructs us plainly: “Put away all anger.” That command would never be given if freedom were not possible. God does not demand what He does not empower. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, anger does not have to rule, resurface, or reside in your life.

This 7-day devotional is not about behavior modification or emotional suppression. It is about transformation. Anger is not defeated by willpower—it is displaced by love. Where the love of God governs the heart, anger loses its authority. Where the Holy Spirit leads, the works of the flesh—including anger—cannot remain.

Throughout this journey, you will discover that anger often survives where love is delayed, forgiveness is postponed, and control is retained. But as love is embraced, forgiveness is carried as a posture, and control is surrendered to the Holy Spirit, anger begins to dissolve—sometimes instantly, sometimes progressively, but always decisively.

You will also learn the power of pre-forgiveness—a life posture rooted in God’s love that forgives before offense ever arrives. Pre-forgiveness removes anger’s landing place and protects the heart from becoming a residence for bitterness, resentment, or reaction.

This journey is deeply practical and profoundly spiritual. Each day will guide you into Scripture, Spirit-led insight, honest reflection, declaration, and prayer. You will not merely learn about anger—you will experience freedom from it.

Most importantly, this devotional will continually point you back to Jesus. At the cross, God poured His wrath out on Christ so that love could flow freely to you. It was love—not anger—that reconciled humanity to God. And it is that same love, poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit, that empowers you to live free.

As you begin these 7 days, come with expectation. Even if anger has walked with you for years, it does not have the right to rule your life any longer. Freedom is not something you are striving for—it is something you are stepping into.

Before 2026 turns over the calendar, choose love. Yield to the Holy Spirit. And watch anger lose its place.
