Unoffendable

There have been many prophesies that have went forth concerning the promise of the harvest coming in....we understand that people are the harvest....

In my readings this week, I was reminded of lesson from Francis Frangipane outlined in his book- The Three Battlegrounds. He teaches that a part of being a believer is to be UNOFFENDABLE. No, this is not a word, but the principle is key. The bible states in Matthew 24:10 AMP
"And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred."

Some questions to ponder: Can you say that when people come at you- you can give up your right to be right? Can you stop seeing "attacks" that are not there? And even if they are there- what will you do to heap the coals of fire on their head? Will you allow yourself to be corrected? Will you stand and face your own attitude issues? Can you go to your brother or sister as outlined in Matthew 5? Or will you allow yourself to be delivered, set free, and unoffendable? Will you seek the Lord for the most excellent way in dealing with people? No, it doesn't mean being a punk or shrunken down, but it does mean giving up self for the sake of the call. Will you get out of the way and allow God to avenge you? Surely His way is better.

It is my sincerest prayer that all of us find our way in Jesus to be unoffendable so that we can be effective for the Kingdom. Unoffendable allows believers to stop shooting each other and opens the door of unity.

~Meekness is surely NOT for weaklings~
