Welcome back from the happy holiday. Wow one more to come. It seems that my last blog about offense has been good in geeting people to think. A question that was asked is "How can I tell a good offence from a bad one?" I hope I can answer that one. Their is an offense that comes from the LORD. He offends my mind so that my heart is revealed. Many times in the past the LORD would not bless what I put my hand to do. The way that I have been thinking and trying to get results in the spirit just did not work. My view of scriptures had to change, and during many nights of frustration and anger at God He brought clearity to my mind. This is what He did. What I was doing was not working, so He sat me down and taught me by doing the stuff in front of me so that I could learn. But first I had to get past offence. Our LORD is still a discipler. That is always a very good offence. But what if my brother sins or says the wrong things in my hearing or i hear of some great man of God falling into sin and my heart gets offended? Or the church is going into a direction that I think is not good? Thats a common one. Here are my thoughts,,,,,,, We lack the PEACE of God. The offence that comes, actually reveals my heart. I should be dead. But remember a core value of mine is that all things work together for the good of those that love God. So when any offence comes and my heart bites it, it is because their is still something alive in my heart that should not be alive, and the offense is doing a work. Do not drop the offense or try to hide it from yourself and God. Once the offence has done its work, it makes more room in our hearts to recieve more form God. Another good thing is seeing that I have been offended and not living in deception of fooling myself. My thinking has to change. We must see diffrently. I do not want to categorize any offence by saying this is a good or bad offence, but I do say that the offence will come, the question is what are we going to do with it. Psalm 119:165. Look at the heart and not the source.
love you guys
