Are You Easily Offended?


Are you easily offended?
Are you still holding on to offences? 

Too many people in the body of Christ are standing paralyzed on the outskirts of the valley of victory, because the enemy is shouting out offences from the other side.

All too many preachers are putting away their Bibles, never to fill another pulpit again, all because somehow, somewhere, they were offended and wounded in their souls.

Nothing in life starts big: the same with offence. An offence always starts as a thought, and thoughts are seeds, that enter your mind.  Seeds of offence are the beginning of developments of offence in our lives.  But we have the ability to REFUSE the thought or uproot the seed before an offence is fully-grown in the garden of our hearts.

Believe me...you can be offended all day long...IF...you choose to be. You have to reach a place in your life where you FORGIVE those who have hurt you, mistreated you, lied on you, betrayed you, misunderstood you, misrepresented you, etc. Forgiveness doesn't mean the other person is right...forgiveness is something you do because it is right for you.  Forgiveness ultimately frees you from RebuttalsResponding to ignorance and seeking Retribution.

I'll be sharing this timely message tonight at 7:00 pm.  If you can't be there in person…watch the LIVE Stream at www.bfwc.net
