In today’s podcast Lucia finishes her series on Perfecting Your Love Walk and discusses how to overcome offenses. Even though you’re walking in love, you’ll have countless opportunities to get offended every day.
People who become offended are usually trapped as they go about their normal, daily routines, and suddenly find themselves pulled into an offensive situation that causes hurt and resentment that grows until the person being offended decides to strike back.
Offenses will come, but you can overcome them and not let them rule your life. The important thing to remember is that it’s not the trap itself that is the offender; it’s the trapper who sets the trap.
Whenever Satan brings a scheme to cause an offense, he’s setting you up for destruction. The proper response to an offensive situation is to respond the same way Jesus did! Rebuke the devil! That does two things for you. First, you’re exercising your authority, and this stops the devil from hurting you. Second, it helps you recognize that it’s the devil and not people who sets up an offensive trap for you.
Satan’s plan is specifically designed to fit your weaknesses because he’s after your testimony. He wants to immobilize you and distract you from your destiny. It’s time to put on the full Armor of God, stop blaming someone else for what they did, and take responsibility for your own actions!
You can totally change your life by operating out of God’s love; and you can overcome offenses by choosing to forgive so you can live the victorious life God created you to live!
