1 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Did. God's word is your answer. There's so many things 2 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: that Satan does to make us just miss it. He 3 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: comes to kill, still and destroy. And today I want 4 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: to talk to you about one of the most common 5 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: ways that sane derails our life. You say, what is that, Well, 6 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: let's go to Luke chapter seventeen, verse one through five. 7 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: The Bible says, then said he unto the disciples, it 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: is impossible, but the defenses will come. But woe went 9 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: to him through whom they come. It were better for 10 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: him than a milestone were hanged about his neck, and 11 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: he was cast in the sea. Then that he should 12 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourself. 13 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: If thy brother trespass against you, rebuke him, and if 14 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: he repents, forgive him. And if he trespass again against 15 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: you seven times in a day, seven times in a day, 16 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: turn again and say to him, I repent, and thou 17 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: shalt forgive him. And the apostle said, unto the Lord, 18 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: increase our faith. No wonder they said, increase our faith. 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: They didn't say, hey, help us with this forgiveness. They're saying, 20 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: whoa you mean? If somebody offends me seventy times seven? 21 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: You know four hundred and ninety times in a day. 22 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm to forgive them, and the Bible says absolutely yes, 23 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: but it says offenses must come. They absolutely will come. 24 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: So a car cuts you off and you yell obscenities. 25 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: A rude store clerk demeans and embarrasses you. You don't 26 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: shop there anymore. A friend betrays trust and you cut 27 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: off that relationship. A church member tells everyone about your struggle, 28 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: or even more, let's do a prairie request, and then 29 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: you leave the church. Your spouse insults and criticizes you 30 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: in front of others, and you're livid. And it doesn't 31 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: matter how many sunsets go down on your wrath, you 32 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: just cannot get over it. You see, these feelings of 33 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: anger and pain, hurt and frustration, resentment and hate will 34 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: poison our life, our calling, our relationships, our hope, our love, 35 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: and eventually our life. One of the most potent weapons 36 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: that Stine uses to steal people's destiny and destroy their 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: lives is the weapon of offense. Satan wants you offended, 38 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: and Jesus said offenses must come. He said it's impossible 39 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: for them not to come. So what is an offense? 40 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: And How do I not be victim to this? How 41 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: do I know that I'm not living with one right now? Well, 42 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: the word offense comes from this Greek word scandal on. 43 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: The word means a snare, a noose, or trap. It 44 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: also means something that makes someone to stumble or fall 45 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: into a scandalous act. It means a stumbling block. Generally, 46 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: it means to feel annoyed or hurt by something or 47 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: what someone did or said. It's when the hunter digs 48 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: that deep hole of that pit, and he takes a 49 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: sharp steak in the pit, and he puts those sharp 50 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: steaks in, and then he camouflages the hole and he 51 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: puts the stick the debris on top to cover it up, 52 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: and he places the bait right there on top of 53 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: this trap, on top of this pit. Now it doesn't 54 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: look like a pit. It doesn't look like those sharp 55 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: steaks are under it, you know what I'm talking about. 56 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: But he places that bait to attract the hunted, and 57 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: then a scandal happens. In other words, the hunted comes, 58 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: takes the bait and falls into the pit, and it 59 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: can either cause extreme destruction or even death. You see, 60 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the devil can ensnare you through a fence, and when 61 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: that happens, you begin to do his will and manifest 62 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: feelings of anger, resentment, wrath, criticism, and ultimately it leads 63 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: to division, rebellion, and fighting. I've been guilty, I know 64 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: you go. I've never been offended. Sure you have baited 65 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: by Satan and mad as a hornet and justified it. 66 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: Great men and women in history have missed God opportunities 67 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: because they've allowed offenses to dictate their responses. They've reacted, 68 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: and they've allowed that offense to dictate an action at 69 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: a crucial point in their lives. And Satan make sure 70 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: of this. Hebrews chapter ten, verse thirty says, for we 71 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: know him that has said vengeance belongs to me, and 72 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: I will recompense saith the Lord. You know, it's one 73 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: of the things that God says, this is mine, and 74 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: vengeance is not to be in your hand. It's to 75 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: be in the hands of the Lord. But how hard 76 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: is that when someone hurts you, really bad, hurts someone 77 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: you love does something horrific to you. Matthew Chapter twenty four, 78 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: verse ten. And then many will be offended and will 79 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: betray one another and will hate one another. When we 80 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: allow ourselves to be offended, and we don't deal with it, 81 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: it leads to other very damaging human emotions like betrayal 82 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: and eventually hatred, hatred of the person that is concerned, 83 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: hatred of the person that hurts you, hatred of all 84 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: people that trigger you. This happens in marriages. You know 85 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the person that you stand at the altar and say 86 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: to death, do I pardon? I love you, and you 87 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: have those google eyes, and then there's a day that 88 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: you can't even stand to be in the same room 89 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: with them. It happens in work, it happens in churches, businesses, 90 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: almost every environment. And here, my heart, this is very 91 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: serious because it really is one of Satan's greatest weapons. 92 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: I want to go over seven signs that there's unresolved offense, 93 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: particularly in the church, but it can be in your home, 94 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: any atmosphere that the enemy wants to destroy. So I 95 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: want you to take notes. I want you to think 96 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: about this. Do I have one of these things happening 97 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: in my life? Because it's probably an unresolved issue that 98 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: has an underlying of an offense. And if you don't 99 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: deal with the offense, then Satan will win. Because the 100 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Bible clearly tells us what happens. The first one is 101 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: strained relationships. The Bible says that a brother offended is 102 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: harder to win than a strong city, and contentions are 103 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: like the bars of a castle Proverbs, chapter eighteen, verse nineteen. 104 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: It means that it's a lot easier to conqueror when 105 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: a strong city than the reconcilar brother who's offended. So 106 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: when you have strained relationships and you walk into an 107 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: atmosphere and you just don't deal with it, some people go, oh, 108 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: I just don't like to be confrontational. You can be 109 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: confrontational without being a jerk, without being just mean and nasty. 110 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Confrontation is good, especially when you learn the skills and 111 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: how to communicate. That's not in a way of blaming 112 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: or doing this. You don't have to yell your voice 113 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: or raise your voice, and yell volume doesn't make you right. 114 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: Volume just means I don't know how to communicate, and 115 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say listen, shut up, stop hear me. 116 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: So when there's strained relationship, that's usually a sign that 117 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: there's an unresolved issue of an offense. The second thing 118 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: that helps you recognize maybe there's an offense in my 119 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: life is resistance to authority. Those offended will not respond 120 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: to leadership, whether it's in church, or whether it's in 121 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: a family, whether it's in a marriage, at work. So 122 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: the resistance may not be full blown rebellion, but it's 123 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: always felt at sensitive time. So counsels rejected, ideas are ignored, 124 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: decisions are overturned. In fact, you're just tuned out because 125 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: deeply embedded in the heart of that person is I'm 126 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: not going to submit myself to authority. Now you might 127 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: not even be the reason. Maybe it was a parent, 128 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: maybe it was a teacher, maybe it was the first 129 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: boyfriend or girlfriend. But there's a rebellion against authority, and 130 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: that becomes very dangerous to a person. Proverbs nineteen twenty says, 131 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end 132 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: you will be wise. Hebrews chapter thirteen, verse seventeen says, 133 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: obey your leaders and submit to them, for they're keeping 134 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: watch over your souls. As those who will have to 135 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: give an account, Let them do this with joy and 136 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage 137 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: to you. So as hard as that is, think about this, 138 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: do I submit now unless they're asking you to do 139 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: something illegal or against God's word. Like if they're asking 140 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: you to violate the word of God, you don't submit, 141 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: or asking you to do something illegal. But maybe they're 142 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: asking you to do something that you're like, well, you 143 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: don't know. God called me and I'm supposed to do this, 144 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: and da da da, that's irrelevant. I remember when I 145 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: went to my pastor and I said God had taken 146 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: me in a trance. Literally, I saw my body on 147 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: the couch. He put me on every continent, Sefari, Antarctica, 148 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: and every time I opened my mouth there was a manifestation. 149 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: People got healed, delivered, saved. And when I shut my mind, 150 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: they went into utter darkness. And so the Lord spoke 151 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: to me and said, I've called you to preach the gospel. 152 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: I go to my pastor so excited. I'm young, I 153 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: don't know anything, and I said, God's called me to 154 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: preach the gospel. He said, great, Paula, He said, our 155 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: janitor just quit. He said show up to the church. 156 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I think it's Tuesday night. And so he said, show 157 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: up and you'll clean the church every week. Now I 158 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: could have said, wait a minute, sir, you didn't hear 159 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: what I said, And I could have gone, well, I'll 160 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: go start a church in the McDonald's parking lot, or 161 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: done whatever I thought I should have done. But I 162 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: was like, and this is so awesome. I get to 163 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: clean the church. What was I doing submitting to leadership? 164 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: And that was a two year process for me really 165 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: just staying in the Word, and I went to nursery 166 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: and the children's church and youth, etc. But what I 167 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: was learning, and I didn't know it at the time, 168 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: was servant leadership. That those that will be great in 169 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: the kingdom. And I don't consider myself great. I just 170 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: consider myself humbled and on and blessed to be able 171 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: to serve God daily. But those who will be great 172 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: will be least among you. The third thing, maybe there's 173 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: a fence in my heart. Look at this detachment and 174 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: drifting from church. Detachment is first detected in an attitude 175 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: of distancing, withdrawing from the hub of the church, the 176 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: church at large, and its flow a drift in the 177 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: wrong direction. Now you go, well, why is this important? 178 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: As a pastor, I can tell you people go from 179 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: sitting in the front row to the middle to the 180 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: back row, and then they stop showing up. You're really 181 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: hurting yourself because when you join a church and you're 182 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: really commissioned and commanded to be part of the body 183 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: of Christ. When you join that, it's like getting married 184 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: and God expects you to be a faithful member. When 185 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: I say that, if you just decide to walk away, 186 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: think about it, or slip a note under the door 187 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: to your pastor. First off, you have more integrity than that. 188 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: You're you have more character than that. But if you 189 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: were gonna leave your marriage, do you just slip a 190 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: note under the door and just walk out on your 191 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: children and your wife. No, that's ridiculous. I mean, think 192 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: about what we do and so we break off or 193 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: we break away, and it's just that it's breaking and 194 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: so instead of resolving, And maybe a pastor is not 195 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna bless you. Maybe you know they're not a perfect person. 196 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: That's okay if you do something right, because if you 197 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: exit wrong, you'll not enter right into the next place. 198 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: And it's really important that we understand how God deals 199 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: with this and sees this. 200 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: Of course. 201 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: Proverbs twenty seven to seventeen says iron sharpens iron, and 202 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: one man sharpens another. So we should be able to 203 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: have a relationship. Not always. I don't agree one hundred 204 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: percent with you, but I'm gonna work through this and 205 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in agreement, meaning I'm not gonna let 206 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: a fence divide us. First John two nineteen and says 207 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: they went out from us, but they were not of us. 208 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: For if they had been of us, they would have 209 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: continued with us. But they went out that it might 210 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: become plain that they all are not of us. So 211 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: just because we live in a culture that is really 212 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: a case Rasah lacks a daisical when it comes to 213 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: character in many ways, doesn't mean that we compromise in 214 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: those areas. The fourth area that we want to look 215 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: at that maybe there is an issue an offense strongholds 216 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: of vain imaginations. So when the offense is so deep 217 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: and it's lodged in a person, that individual begins to 218 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: see everything through the glass of unresolved offense. So you'll 219 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: hear something, but you'll take it in a way that 220 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: is through the vetting or through the glass or the 221 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: perspective of a fence. So the smallest action will be 222 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: vainly enlarged. It goes into a stronghold. A belief about 223 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: a person's actions, their words, their attitudes, and you find 224 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: yourself judging them. And the way you hear something is 225 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: not the way something is said Tewod Corinthians, Chapter ten, 226 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: verse three and four. For though we walk in the flesh, 227 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: we're not waging war according to the flesh. For the 228 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but 229 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: they have divine power to destroy strongholds. So a vain 230 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: stronghold is when something comes to you and it's coming 231 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: through that filter of offense. The fifth thing, because I 232 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: want to get through all seven of these, is open 233 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: doors to satanic harassment. What do you mean? Because remember 234 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: these are some unresolved issues that bring offense into our life. 235 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: The demonic powers of hell are attracted to unforgiveness. They 236 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: know exactly where to go in and get a person. 237 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: That's why God says forgive seventy times seven in a 238 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: single day. Now, it wasn't an exact number as much 239 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: as it was a principle. If it's a thousand times forgive, 240 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: because demonic powers look for unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, gossip is 241 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: a big one. A tale bearer. Gossiping, backbiting mean sure, 242 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: you're speaking about someone, you're undermining their integrity, and you 243 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: can be very passive aggressive in this. Oh, I would 244 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: never do that, and you're doing it passively aggressively anger hatred. 245 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: So when you carry an offense, it's to open up 246 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: the door to satanic harassment. Ephesians chapter four, verse twenty seven. 247 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: And we're told give no opportunity to the devil. Hebrews 248 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: chapter twelve, verse fifteen says, see to it that no 249 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: one fails to obtain the grace of God, that no 250 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and by 251 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: it many become defiled. So he says, don't let bitterness, 252 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: because bitterness is a root. When you get offended, you 253 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: get bitter. And then that's where literally rage and murder. Well, 254 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: you actually kill someone, I hope not. But murder spiritually 255 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: is something's dying. You're killing something off in your life 256 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: and the life and the plan and the purpose of God. 257 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: The sixth thing is dried up rivers of the Holy Spirit, 258 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: so that fresh, powerful flow of the Holy Spirit we're 259 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: out of your belly, shall flow rivers of water. According 260 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: to John seven thirty eight, it's likened to this mighty, 261 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: mighty river. And when offenses are allowed to lodge inside 262 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: our spiritual wells, they're like huge stones that block that 263 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: river's flow. So you lose your spiritual vitality, you lose 264 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: your joy. If you don't have joy right now, you 265 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: don't have strength. If you're always weary, don't laugh, you're depressed, 266 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 1: you're down. You've even gone to doctors and they're like, 267 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: I can't find anything wrong. You lost momentum and faith, 268 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: and you're just you can't overcome. This can be traced 269 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: to unresolve offenses. John seven thirty seven thirty nine, Like 270 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: I said, on the last day of the Feast, the 271 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Great Day, Jesus stood up and cried, if any man thirst, 272 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: let him come to me and drink, And whoever believes 273 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: in me, as the scripture said, out of his heart 274 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: will flow rivers of living water. Now this he said 275 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: about the spirit, whom those who believed in him were 276 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: to receive. For yet the spirit had not been given 277 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: because Jesus was not yet glorified. So when you're offended, 278 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: you literally stop the flow of the Holy Spirit. And 279 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: then the last thing, how do I know if I 280 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: have offence and unhealthy conscious the conscious is the inner 281 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: judge are what we call the umpire that expresses God's 282 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: holiness and reproves sin. It's the faculty of the spirit 283 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: that approves or disapproves our thoughts, our words, our deeds. 284 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: And when unresolved offenses turn into unforgiveness or bitterness, the 285 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: conscience becomes weak, it becomes wounded, it becomes sick, unreliable, 286 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: it's troubled. So there's no ability think about this, to 287 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: discern between what is right and what is wrong. So 288 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: if we think about that, we've got generations are people 289 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: like masses of people that really aren't necessarily woke, they're offended. 290 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: Think about it. The root of this is there's been trauma, 291 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: there's been hurt, there's been and you can say, well, 292 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: they did it to me, it doesn't matter. I can say, well, 293 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: my dad did that when he killed himself, my mom 294 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: did that when she became I'm an alcoholic. Those people 295 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: did that when they abused me and tied me up 296 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: and raped me. All those things happened to me, and 297 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: I can say, well, it's their fault and what they've 298 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: done is horrific, But that doesn't leave me free to 299 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: live a life. Of hatred and hurt and offense and 300 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: bitterness and wounded. Johnny nine says, when they heard it, 301 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, 302 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him, 303 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: because remember they were ready to stone this woman. And 304 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: Jesus said, if none of you don't have any sin, 305 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: he said, go ahead and throw the rock. But if 306 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: you've got sin, drop that rock. Basically, Titus one fifteen says, 307 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: to the pure, all things are pure, but to the 308 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. But both their minds 309 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: and their conscious are defiled. Hebrews ten twenty two says, 310 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: let us straw near with a true heart and full 311 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: assurance of faith, with our heart sprinkled gleaned from I'm 312 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: an evil conscious, and our bodies washed with pure water. Now, 313 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: let me pray for you right now, because when we 314 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: say an evil conscious, it's not that you want to 315 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: try to have this evil conscious. It's that somewhere there's 316 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: been wounding in your life, and now you don't see 317 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: right from wrong or wrong from right. You misjudge things. 318 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: And it's not because you're a bad person. It's because 319 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: you're a broken person. I've been a broken, broken person, 320 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: and I say to people all the time I go. 321 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: My prayer's always been God, I want to die whole. 322 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: Meaning this is a lifelong work and a lifelong journey, 323 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: and I don't expect Satan to stop working overtime. He'll 324 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: always use something to make sure that I'm in a 325 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: place of offense. But I'm always going to try to 326 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: take God's work and forgive. I'll say things i'll regret, 327 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: not because I intentionally think about it and go I'm 328 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: going to say this because I'm a work in progress 329 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: like you. I'll do things I wish I wouldn't have done. 330 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I'll act on things I wish I would't have acted 331 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: on because I don't like being hurt. I don't like 332 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: feeling pain. I don't like the fruit of brokenness. And 333 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: I wish there was this magic button I could just 334 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: push and go healed today. But that's not how it works. 335 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: It's a life long work that I have to overcome offense, 336 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: and so do you. Offenses will come, not Hey, just 337 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: get over it and live with it. Hey, Paula, what 338 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: are you going to do about it? Are you going 339 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: to forgive? Doesn't mean that you have to bring someone 340 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: back in your life. What are you going to do 341 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: about it? Are you going to be an old woman 342 00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: and be bitter? You know my grandchildren that were initially 343 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: born to three children that I help raise, they called 344 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: me Mimi for years. And then Brad married Rachel. He's 345 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: the youngest, my biological son. And they were in prayer 346 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: one night and Brad called me up and he said, 347 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: and they not had kids yet. He goes, my kids 348 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: will never call you Mimi. He goes, your name's no 349 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: longer me Me. I said, I like, mem, I'm not 350 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: going to be called grandma. He goes, You're not going 351 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: to be me me, And he was so serious, and 352 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: I said, why I'm going to be mem He said, no, 353 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: you aren't. It comes from the root to Mara and 354 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: it means bitter, he says. And the enemy's decision for 355 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: your life is that you will die an old, bitter woman, 356 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: he said. But I break that right now in the 357 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 1: name of Jesus. He said, your name will be Opera. 358 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: And I started first. I was like, oh, yeah, the 359 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: kids will make fun of the grandkids. Who's opera? But Opera, 360 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: which I wear proudly now means mother of many nations, 361 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: and I decided to embrace. I'm not going to die 362 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: old and bitter. I might be mad about something yesterday, 363 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: but I decided when I woke up today, forgive them, 364 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: release it, change your attitude. And I just didn't make 365 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: a decision. I listened to a forty five minute podcast 366 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: to help me reinforce it. Then I prayed and I 367 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: made affirmations. Why because this is work. But I want 368 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: to pray over you right now. Father, please help my friend. 369 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: It's so hard when we've been hurt, when we've been broken, 370 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: when the enemy's got an upper hand through bitterness and God, 371 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: I learned, just like Romans Chapter five says, the love 372 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: of God is shed abroad in my heart. I couldn't 373 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: always feel forgiveness, but I could give the Holy Spirit permission. 374 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: So I pray right now for you. Ask the Holy 375 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: Spirit to place forgiveness in your heart. Name that offense, 376 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: if you know it, at least that offense. Declare that 377 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: you will not die bitter. But today you receive God's 378 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: mercy and God's grace and God's forgiveness, and you reject 379 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: offense in every way and the fruit thereof that you 380 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: will not die in that scandalion and every scandal, every scandalion, 381 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: every pit, every trap that's saying except for you, let 382 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: it be overturned in the name of Jesus. On the 383 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: basis of the blood of Jesus Christ. I declare wholeness 384 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: and purity and holiness, the love and the fruit of 385 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: righteousness to spring forth out of your life in Jesus's 386 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: mighty name. You might say, Pastor Paula, thank you, But 387 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I can walk in this. You can't alone. 388 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: You can't do it without Jesus. Maybe you don't know 389 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: him as your Lord and savior. Maybe you've never asked 390 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: him to really take control of your heart, your life, 391 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: everything you've made him lord and savior. Would you pray 392 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: this prayer with me? Say, Father, God, forgive me for 393 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: my sin. I recognize I'm a sinner. I've missed the mark, 394 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: I've fallen short, and the wages of sin is death. 395 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: But I received the gift of eternal life through your 396 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: son Jesus Christ, who is crucified, buried in a borrow 397 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: tomb and rose again on the third day to give 398 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: me life. And I received that life, and I received 399 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. If you prayed that prayer. Welcome to the 400 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: Family of God. Now I say that, and it sounds 401 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: so simple, and it's really not.
