I was going the wrong way because I was hurt..... I have this book but couldn't even read it because I was justifying sleeping around with hurt.....this message is for me...thank you John and your team
Lord increase our Faith. I admit that I am hurt by people continuing to make plans, promises to spend time with me or voice their love for me but don't want to spend time with me, show me any courtesy, and the list goes. I'm hurting because I don't understand why noone wants to hang out, visit me, spend time with me, say I don't need prayer, say mean things, cancel plans with me and abandon the relationship at every offense. I've prayed for help, wisdom to overcome offense before and you did it. I'm back again because I'm struggling again to forgive, trust, that things will turn around for the better with these same family members and friends. They give no reason for their actions but treat others differently. I wanted your love to flourish in my relationships. Deliver my relationships from demonic attacks and curses. Jesus help. It is so painful to keep going through this because my love and presence keeps being rejected or castaway. Lord please do a new thing in my heart. Do a new thing in their heart. Offense, hatred, pride, arrogance, reasoning will not have a hold on me. Get behind me Satan. Help me Holy Spirit to resist the temptation to be offended. I will not be offended.
😢I understand… I feel similarly in my life situation. I’m praying for you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable beautiful heart. You are such a lovely soul. I’m praying that you will receive the support you are seeking from the lord and from relatives and friends. I pray those demonic attacks cease and you win over the dark forces triumphantly. I’m taking these lonely times to get closer to Jesus, to understand his love and sacrifice for me. I appreciate all of the pain I’ve endured because without it I wouldn’t need Jesus as my savior from misery. Hang in there, my sister in faith.❤❤❤😊
@myahill7475 Bless you Sister 🥰 Truly the Holy Spirit was moving through me in prayer! I Praise Jesus for connecting us through this channel and for this prayer moving on your heart! The Bible says where 2 or 3 are gathered in agreement 🤝 there He is. Even though we both are going through similar things, are hearts are aligned for the Power of God to show himself mighty in our lives 🙏🏾Glory to God. Your reply brought me to tears. Thank you for being loving, supportive, and just a beautiful spirit from afar that makes me feel so connected and blessed to meet you! I hope you feel God's overwhelming love ❤️ all the rest of this year, touching every area you need satisfied! Blessings my sister 💓
@@moniquepierce5620 yes, sister we must keep our faith in him and we shall win. Our prayers will be answered. The Lord will never abandon us. We must keep fighting the spiritual attacks that the enemy uses against us, to destroy our pursuit to walk with Jesus. I have to remind myself of how blessed I am because I am a child of God. You are a child God… we are his children.👧🏽😚😇❤️
I feel the same!! I try so much to be nice and kind even tho knowing we all make mistakes. It seems so many ppl dislike me ..I talk about Jesus or maybe I'm just around the wrong ppl to begin with. Especially at work. I just don't understand either! I'll be your friend. We can text. Let me know ill send you my email and get to know each other help and support or any other reason.
I am listening to your auto book The Bait of Satan. How it hit me square in the face. I realize that I was holding onto offense and that every time I tried to get pass the offense, Satan would say something in my ear like but do you remember when they said this or that and the wound would open back up. Then I would be hurt all over again. But it wasn’t until a friend of mine recommended your book, the Bait of Satan to read. I started listening to it and suddenly, I realized that I had not really let go of the hurt and I was staying in offense. Thank you John fo writing such a totally awesome anointed book. Today I’m not walking in offense and your book has help me to let go of any offense, because that puts a wedge between Jesus Christ and me. So, I have repented and ask God to forgive me. Praise the Lord for his grace and mercy.
I am so glad I stumbled on this message. I thought I have dealt with those who have offended me but realized I still hold them in my heart and have not truly forgiven them. Lord please grant me the grace to let go. Thank you Pastor John Bevere for this insightful and liberating message. Will go through the rest of the lessons.

WHO ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD?? 👇 (Ezekiel 37:25-28) And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein "YOUR" fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and "THEIR CHILDREN" and their children's children FOREVER and will set my sanctuary in the MIDST of THEM FOREVERMORE my TABERNACLE also shall be with THEM: yea, I will be THEIR GOD, and they shall be MY PEOPLE and the "HEATHEN" shall know that I the LORD do sanctify ISRAEL, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of "them" FOREVERMORE (👆old testament prophecy - note that heathen are eliminated from being the children of God) (2nd Corinthians 6:16,18) And what agreement hath the TEMPLE(tabernacle) of God with idols? for "YE" are the TEMPLE of the living God "as God hath SAID" I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be THEIR GOD, and THEY shall be MY PEOPLE and will be a Father unto YOU and ye shall be MY SONS and DAUGHTERS, saith the Lord Almighty (👆same prophecy and people in the NT - only ethnic Israelites are the children of God 4ever as it's written)
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson ! This is deep and the way that you use the scripture to drive us slowly but wisely to your point is a true gift ! God bless you and may the holy spirit give us the tools to overcome the devil plan !
@@JohnBevereTV Hope you don’t delete this post. I have saved it and will repost it on other videos! I have my suspicions on why there’s hardly any negative comments or even a single comment about correcting your message😮 I’ve never heard of you before and I just came across your message on offense on TH-cam and within few minutes into it I could tell it was false teaching. It didn’t make sense that God would say that and in my disbelief I ran to the Bible to double check and what I read in the Bible is completely different than what you have been preaching. You are purposely misinterpreting what God said about ‘offenses’. I am posting here the exact scripture: LUKE 17; 1-4 ”Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” How could anyone not see the obvious? God clearly says It is impossible that no offenses should come but Woe to him through whom the offenses do come. It means the CURSE is upon those who commit the offenses on his flock. So God is warning against Shepherds who lead His flock astray. Jesus is clearly warning False preachers who prey on his Sheep and has even called them Ravenous Wolves. Mind you people in the pews don’t have the platform to preach to people but it’s the one on the Pulpit that has the platform to reach multitudes and spread false teachings. You are misleading people by misinterpreting God’s word! You are only saying the first line of the scripture because the next line is very telling who God is pointing at. It’s quite astonishing to see people can be so gullible to believe such blatant nonsense! Can’t believe these books are so readily accepted and pushed in all Churches. I am going through your other preachings as well and they are all the same. Stick to Bible people and ask God for knowledge and wisdom to understand his word!

@@JohnBevereTV Hey John why are you deleting my posts?? Shouldn’t you be open to hearing from all sides? That says a lot about you…you don’t want people to find out the Truth. Well God is watching!
My husband told me I was a stronghold so he decided to cheat on me and walk away from our marriage. He came back asking me to forgive me Him and so I did and now 7 months later he’s back to his same patterns except I’m not sure if there is someone else. He’s cold distant and leaves me behind and only takes the kids and leaves me home. He asked for the divorce once again and this came out of nowhere. We were not fighting at all, just keeps telling me that it’s my fault he cheated tells brings up past mistakes and finds any excuse to want to walk out of the marriage. I am asking for prayer if you are reading this. 😢
So, how is one to deal with offense when in a church in which another member of the congregation has been abusive and that behavior has been excused simply because he or she is in a leadership position?
Forgiveness is still needed, but there would need to be some accountability in place as well. I would suggest going to the overseers of your church and report the matter. Let them know what's going on and what you've done to try to get resolve. Also pray and see what Holy Spirit would have you to do. Stay or leave. You do not have to Subject yourself to abuse. On the other side of this, you might need counseling to process and heal. In the end, you still need to forgive. It doesn't mean you agree with what was done, but you want to release your heart from the bondage of unforgiveness, release the offender, and obey the Word that tells us if we forgive others then God will forgive us. If - then. We personally know how much we need to be forgiven, daily. Right? I can't let anything or someone else hinder me from receiving the forgiveness from God that I desperately need. I'm speaking from experience. I've had a similar situation. It's difficult and painful but it's worth it. Praying for you!!!
I know it’s crazy and I have no right. But I’m sort of offended by God. I feel led down and even sort of angry. Angry at life and the things God has permitted. My life just feels like a bunch of accidents, it’s like no one is in control. I just know that at the end of the day I’m to blame, cause well.. God is God. The thing is, i don’t want to feel this way and I know it’s wrong. But these thoughts become so valide when I examine my life. Please pray for me, my name is Rachel. Thank you.
I thank you for the insights into how we are trapped through unforgiveness by the enemy. My problem is that I can forgive this one sibling and what they had done to me, but it is the cruel, evil she has and continues to do to others I have been struggling with.. I understand forgiving an individual, but are we to forgive evil?? Are we forgiving THEM or the evil spirits behind their behaviour?? Someone/thing would have to be responsible for their behaviour right? I know the spiritual realm is real and we can open doors to the demonic. How do we forgive EVIL, I mean EVIL, when it is wearing the face of a family member??? Please help me understand this? I WANT and am WILLING to forgive, I am asking Jesus to take the reigns of my heart in this, but are we to forgive Hitler or anyone who has been given over to a debased mind BY God? Thank you in advance. Be blessed...
Where is room for being hurt in all this? Are we supposed to numb ourselves? What about mourning and sorrow? Scriptures say many places to seek justice and that it is wrong for a sinner to get away with it. Where do these things fit in? Do you even get to tell people they're wrong? There has to be more to it than just not being offended. I'm not a robot. You give plenty of examples of how you failed to do what you teach but what are some ways you handle being hurt now that's different?
Matthew 18:15-20 The bible says if a fellow believer hurts you to go and tell them. I also don't think he is ignoring the fact you can be offended and feel hurt. I think he is talking about sitting in that hurt and letting it fester.
The Lord revealed to me that this man is not saved. And yes, God gives me a gift of discerning spirits. Then I realized he preaches Lordship Salvation, which saves no one.
Wow, are you sure? Give me a Scripture to prove that He is not saved. And I will give you God's word to prove that you are wrong and if you continue to be wrong❌ I believe you are not save yet and you Need Jesus in you life dude.
This dude is preaching no boundaries. He is pushing nonsense. He has influenced way too many people. He’s a passive-aggressive control freak. He’s manipulating Scripture to get people not to set healthy boundaries and not to object to bad theology like his!! Avoid this guy.
You will return my life ,and all provision ,all Fruits which this Liar stole and sleeps on !!! This criminal stole my ideas,my heartly career and copied all my pieces of life !!

Is it the same if the person persecuting you doesn't repent and keeps doing it over and over without repentance?

We are NOT in a playground.
We ARE in a battleground.
So, how is one to deal with offense when in a church in which another member of the congregation has been abusive and that behavior has been excused simply because he or she is in a leadership position?
Omg I'm going through the same thing in church. Not leader though its ex and new wife. People and there circles
Forgiveness is still needed, but there would need to be some accountability in place as well. I would suggest going to the overseers of your church and report the matter. Let them know what's going on and what you've done to try to get resolve.
Also pray and see what Holy Spirit would have you to do. Stay or leave. You do not have to Subject yourself to abuse.

The Lord revealed to me that this man is not saved. And yes, God gives me a gift of discerning spirits. Then I realized he preaches Lordship Salvation, which saves no one.
Buddy. I discern you are a false teacher and an accuser of the brethren.
Wow, are you sure? Give me a Scripture to prove that He is not saved. And I will give you God's word to prove that you are wrong and if you continue to be wrong❌ I believe you are not save yet and you Need Jesus in you life dude.
oh, don't forget the sin sniffers
You absolutely cannot read this book without a highlighter. Seriously.
I’m offended by myself. Daily.
This dude is preaching no boundaries. He is pushing nonsense. He has influenced way too many people. He’s a passive-aggressive control freak. He’s manipulating Scripture to get people not to set healthy boundaries and not to object to bad theology like his!! Avoid this guy.
I really appreciate your sermons but I loathe your need for self glorification. Having the crowd praise you is not necessary.
He is not wanting people to glorify him, but rather glorify God in God’s word!!
