Spirit-Controlled Temperament

Everyone is a curious mixture of weaknesses and strengths, and there is a reason, explains author Tim LaHaye. Everyone has inherited a distinct temperament--predominantly sanguine, choleric, melancholy, or phlegmatic, with a combination of traits from two or more groups. Given a person's natural temperament, the Holy Spirit can manifest supernatural characteristics in his life. God's Spirit can release an individual from a life of anger, fear, depression, indecisiveness, instability, and restlessness, and can give a new freedom of peace, purpose, self-control, and dignity.
