I keep flying into rages for no reason.Given that becoming a Christian has not helped,where does that leave me

Question

This has been a problem for over a decade and I've never known why,but it's embarrassing.I really thought getting baptised 3 months ago would do the trick-but it hasn't.Any followers of Christ out there help me?

Answer 1

I think you are a Romulan or perhaps a Klingon.

Answer 2

First of all just saying you are becoming a christian and getting baptized doesn't necessarily make you a christian. You have to truly accept Christ into your heart and live according to his teachings. When you become a christian, you are like a baby, and you grow in Christianity. Becoming a christian doesn't immediately make everything bad in your life become good. You have to read your bible, pray and talk to God. Ask God to give you a humble spirit. It takes time to become the person the want to be. Anger is a problem and I am not against seeking medical help. You could very well have something serious wrong with you. I am not a medical person, but If I were in your situation, I would also have a cat scan done. I don't have any idea if it is even possible, but what if you might have a tumor or something that might press against certain parts of your brain, thus triggering this reaction from you. I am honestly not trying to give you medical advice, nor am I making jokes in any way. I am simply trying to give you a few suggestions. I hope they have helped. I will pray for you.

Without more info, it is difficult to determine what the contributing factors could be. Here are some ideas that might help:
Avoid violent movies and music. Try listening almost exclusively to Christian music (there are many styles to choose from).
Try to have a set time to pray and study the Bible. 15 minutes for each is a good place to start, just do it every day. You will be very surprised at what a difference just 15 minutes EVERY day will make.

There could also be a contributing medical condition. The brain is like any other part of the body, it can have a minor malfunction and cause major problems. Talk to your doctor about what is going on. There is no more shame at being bi-polar as there is having a sprained ankle.

God bless.

Answer 4

Have confidence that you can change your behaviour for the better. You have probably got yourself into a viscious circle where every time you fly off the handle, that just confirms your inability to control your emotions. I have my beleifs (not that I would consider myself a follower of christ) and personally I think that there are much more practical solutions out there. Perhaps you should consider using some beta blockers from the doctor until you realise how much better life can be without these outbursts. Then you will have a target to reach, at the moment all you see is a life where this continues to happen. But it is never too late to change.... The first time you manage to control one of these outbursts you can be utterly convinced that you are on the road to a better life. It won't be easy though and there will be many hurdles. But with trust in yourself you will be able to reduce if not eliminate these rages. Good luck.

Answer 5

What you need to do is be sure you've been baptised by the Holy Spirit. God can overcome all obstacles in your life. Don't despair, whatever happens, you have just proclaimed your Faith in the Living Christ, that's a very brave thing to do.

Nobody's perfect, except God, and He knows this. I have had to battle against many obstacles in my life before overcoming them, and I'm still far from being perfect. I just keep praying and asking God to help me. If you do that I believe you will overcome your rages. I did a college course covering Anger and Rage and it was then that as the only Christian in the Class, I seemed to find the right answers, but then I never leave the house in the morning without putting myself in God's Hands.

Prayer is the Christians mighty weapon. The devil will pull you up whatever it is, just to get to you and especially your Faith in Jesus. Now remember, we are allowed to be angry, it's a human emotion. However, Christ told us, "In Your Anger.....Do Not Sin". Keep working on it and I shall pray for you, as I'm sure other Christians will after reading your question.

There are many Christian Websites and Helplines you can contact, but if I can be of any help, just let me know and I'll do my best. Whatever happens, never let it get you down, it will get easier, I promise you that.

Answer 6

See you have to find the root to the problem that causes you to fly off the handle. I'm a christian too and I use to have the same problem. We all have past hurt or regrets that when a situation arises that reminds us of these things we explode we done it so long we don't realize sometimes what is causing us to do it. See this is where your relationship with God comes into play . Ask Him to show what hurts you are hiding that cause you to do this and then ask Him to forgive you and whatever hurt you or whoever hurt . Learn with God the things that make you tick so that when these situation arise again you can say that is no longer a problem in my life and over time you will see the change. Only God can help you change but He stills needs you to wanna change . Truth is it isn't gonna happen over night since it's been apart orf your life for sop long. Don't give up keep going forward and keep trusting in God and remeber He is faithful to complete the good work He started in you. Remeber faith is essentail in the Christian walk so walk in faith. Most of all change doesn't happen over night.

Answer 7

Even though you are baptized, you still need to look at why you get so angry and rageful all the time. Try to pray or ask God to help you understand and release the rage you have been carrying all your life so you no longer have to suffer from it any more.

Many times rage is carried from all the events in the past that have made you angry that need to be forgiven and let go of. The easier you are to get enraged the more there is to forgive and let go of. Ask Christ to help you return to a peaceful loving life.

Answer 8

Being a christian does not automatically turn you into a perfect person, look at St Paul. He was a dreadful misogynist, he hated himself more than he hated sin. St Jerome for instance was a dreadful sex hater, beating himself senseless for the "sin" of lust.
Moses was the biggest nerd in the world, he could not look at anyone in the eye, his brother Aaron had to speak for him. And as for Isiah? He ate human **** to serve the Lord's will, do that today and you will be on a section 37 as quick as Jack Robinson. That is the thing about religion, it is not about personal growth or about making you feel better about yourself, it is about worship and service to humanity and whatever god you believe is worthy of it. If you are angry, It is what you are.

Answer 9

I follow my heart and my passions. I used to let rage get a hold of me until i decided to get a hold of myself.

I started hobbies, reading, playing games and getting out more. I also focused more on myself and on fewer friends and getting out.

The best thing i ever did was take up mountain biking and flying. Mountain biking got me out, excersizing and enjoing outdoors while flying challenged me mentally, physically and fiscally ($$$$$).

Religion is always a great thing to do, but you just need to challenge yourself to do something, set goals and do it.

My rage was the feeling of being pushed back and 2nd in line no matter how hard i worked. Kicked out a few friends, did some self critical thinking, talked to those who i could trust and that helped the most.

Answer 10

Ask God to help you to endure what you are going through . Don't give up because He will help you , but you have to believe . Mark 11:22-26 . Maybe you have an underlying health problem and need to see a mental health doctor . God never gives up on anyone , sometimes He seems like He's not there , but He allows us to go through times of trouble like these to temper us and make us stronger . 2nd Corinthians 12:7-10 . May He enlighten you and give you peace .....God bless you

Answer 11

Ask yourself why, look at your life, like the old song says take everything to the Lord in pray, a Chrisitan life is not easy don`t give up, Look at Eph 4-26,27, Colossians 3-8, Psa, 37.8, hope this helps, talk to a Pastor of your church
