Offenses Will Come
My precious child whatever you do strive to keep your conscience clear before Me and with man. I created you to be light in a dark world. Do you realize that if ten praying people in right standing with Me could have saved Sodom and Gomorrah then ten praying righteous people have the power to stand in the middle of darkness until light rules in your home or church? It’s not important to be right in the challenges you face – it’s important to speak the truth and walk in love without offending someone. Strive to always keep a clear conscience before man and Me. (Acts 24:16)
Make sure you do not cause an offense to anyone. (Matthew 8:6-7) You can’t stop offenses from coming to you – they will come because offense reveals what is in your heart, (Luke 17:1, Matthew 8:7) but woe to the one who causes the offense. I have called you to live on a higher plane. Make sure your tongue does not speak evil of others. (Proverbs 21:23, Luke 6:27, 31) When someone says something cutting to you or talks about you behind your back – keep your mouth shut – bless and pray for them, they are wounded and in desperate need of healing in their soul. (Luke 6:28, Matthew 5:44) It’s hard to keep your mouth shut and walk in love when others are unkind or angry but that is what I am instructing you to do and let Me have them! It’s part of dying to your flesh! (Romans 8:13) The flesh wants to defend itself.
I knew for three years Judas would betray Me. The entire time I trained My dream team (the Disciples) I walked with them and fed them, yet I never told them Judas would betray Me. (Matthew 26:21-22) Make sure you are sensitive to My Spirit and do not speak against someone whether it’s the truth or not. If I had told My Disciples, they would have been angry with him and like the church today – crucified him. I protected My disciples from being angry or bitter against him. Now that’s called LOVE!
