Why are some people in His church easily offended? I was talking to a brother who was going to ask his church to refund all that he has ever given to his church, brethren really??? I give to God not to the pastor, YES! YES! YES! My giving is a covenant between me and God....... Make no mistake, that is the devils intention. He sends people across your path to offend you and mistreat you for the express purpose of stealing the Word of God - and the anointing that goes with it - out of your life. Mark 4:17 says, ...persecution ariseth for the words sake. The devil knows how powerful you are when you are anointed. He knows because he once was anointed himself. The Bible says before evil was found in him, he was the anointed cherub. So it is his one ambition to trick you into cutting yourself off from that anointing. Thats why he sends bigots to insult you and thieves to steal from you. Thats why, whenever he can, he goads people around you into being insensitive and unappreciative. He wants you to get offended and cut off your supernatural power supply. Most believers dont realize it, but thats what offenses do. You can see that in Matthew 11:4-6. There, the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus and asked if He was truly the Anointed One. Jesus answered and said to them: Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. We need to realize, my friend, that offenses are serious business. They are sent by the devil to rob us of the anointing and block the flow of the blessings of God. That fact alone should be enough to make us decide never, ever, to be offended again. I know Ive made that decision. Ive determined that no matter how someone may insult my intelligence, my beliefs or even my race, Im not willing to lose my anointing over it in the mighty name of Jesus. No matter how they treat me, or what they might call me, I will not take offense. I will step aside and pray for them in Jesus name. Please SHARE! Be a blessing!
