Taking Off the Mask

Spirit of Offense

Let’s deal with the mask of Offense.

How many of us have been offended or been the offender?

Here’s the definition of offense:

Offense – annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself or one’s standards or principles

Proverbs 18:19 – A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.

Matthew 18:7 – Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!

Wearing the mask of offense as being the one offended, we put people in the position of walking on eggshells around us or either not saying anything at all.  Wearing this mask causes people that could really be a blessing to you even if it’s in the form of correction to back up from you. Wearing this mask can cause you to face unnecessary situations or encounter things that you would not have to if you would listen without being offended. You may have people around you full of wisdom, but if you are wearing that mask of offense, you will not be able to maximize the withdrawal or the pour that has been God ordained for you!!! A lot of times the offended person does not want to deal with the issues, which keeps them in this offended state. Sometimes we want to deal with others’ behavior but not deal with our own. Why am I offended and how long will I stay in an offended state?   Sometimes the offender is the extreme of the offended. Sometimes not all times, a person has been offended so many times until their defense mechanism is to be sharp tongue and cut others to avoid being cut 1st. The offender may be correct in their point or even the word that they are delivering but because it was not mixed with love but mixed with a part of them that has not been delivered. There is a difference between a person that has been anointed to push you to your next even if it means being firm than a person that is just offensive. Discern the two and don’t miss your God ordained opportunity! I’ve worn the mask of being the offended one. But I have to learn if I plan on taking this journey I’m going to have to use the word of God to allow it to toughen me up and allow the love of God to wrap my heart and go through deliverance and deal with the root of things. Keep in mind the word of God says offences will come. So we must not be naïve to think nothing will come, but have spiritual intelligence and intel, that these things will take place but we have already been given the blueprint on how to deal, handle and overcome! Take that mask off and let’s thrive.

So how are we going to deal with this?

Prayer & Fasting

Sobriety in mind and in spirit

Apply the word as an ointment and let it begin to heal these wounds

Deal with the root cause of things; so many times, we act okay when we really are not, and we create these mask

Seek the love and timing of God

Surround yourself around people that will not let you stay offended – no they should not have done you that way but now that it has happened how are you going to handle it; how are you going to maintain and work in freedom vs. that’s a shame, they sure were wrong and keep reminding you of the offense and keeping you in that quick sand instead of reminding you of the deliver

Make a conscious choice not to be offended and keep in mind the enemy will challenge you especially if you deal with this spirit. But this is the opportunity to not quote the word but apply the word! Make a conscious choice to choose the Word of God every time! Greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world!!

TAKE THE MASK OFF AND LET’S THRIVE!!!!

Don’t Count Me Out

I Still Believe

John 11 – 17; 25-45 Amplified

John 12:1-2

John 11:25 Jesus told her, I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Because I believe in Christ, he is the resurrection and he is the life, that gives us the access that we need and we can declare with an assurance, though I am dead, I am yet alive through Christ Jesus….so don’t count me out because of what it looks like. 

Verse 26-Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha, that’s why it’s so important that we let the word of God abide in us and we abide in it, because as long as we’re abiding in the Word and the Word is abiding in us, we have life. Now to the natural eye, the situation might look dead and it very well might be, but in our inner man there is life and that more abundantly. I decree and declare I will live and not die. I will declare the works of the Lord. Because he that is within me is Greater than he that is in the world.  This our hope and our 

Confidence, this should be our declaration.

Verse 32: when Mary came she fell at his feet saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died – sometimes we fall on our face and we begin to say Lord if you had of moved this would not have happened, or Lord if it had of been like this or like that the situation would have turned out differently, in our moments of sorrow, or in our moments of feeling like we have been defeated,  let us not forget who we are trusting and believing, that we will not be easily moved from our place of faith. The journey sometimes can be disappointing, the test and trials sometimes can be tough  and it takes every ounce of strength just to hold on to the promises of God. But I want to remind you that in our weakness he is our strength, in and of ourselves we can do nothing, but through Christ Jesus that strengthens me,  I can make this journey, I can endure hardship as a good soldier! So be encouraged today to hold on and don’t waiver. Whatever God has promised you, whatever God has predestined for your life it will surely come to pass, so don’t count yourself out and surely don’t let no one else speak defeat over your life and your circumstances. Some things on this journey will make you feel like you literally have had the wind knocked out of you, but I’m here to remind you about the Rauch breath of God, Holy Spirit breathe on us again, breathe on our situation breathe on that thing that looks like it might be dead but you have ordained it to live. Breathe on our mind, that it will be renewed daily, Breathe on our hearts because we don’t want a hard and stony heart, but a heart of flesh. 

When Jesus saw Mary sobbing he was moved, even moved to the point of anger and troubled because of the sorrow that death had caused. Listen Christ is mindful of us, he knows how we feel, he knows what we are going through and he has a solution, though you sow in tears, you’ll reap in joy, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 1 Peter 5:10-Amp. Let it be known he’s mindful of us, he knows exactly what we’re going through.

Verse 36: Now you have the hecklers, so if Jesus had them, what about us. Could not this Man, who opened the blind man’s eyes, have kept this man from dying? So he was again deeply moved. When we have hecklers we have to be moved to the point that we are going to trust God, no matter what it looks like, no matter what other people say. God I trust you with everything in me, I trust that what you have promised will surely come to pass and because I trust you I’m going to work the Word and the Word is going to work for me. How am I going to work the Word, through my obedience and letting it purify me, letting my old man be crucified and the new creature that I am in Christ live and those old things be passed away. Because if God said it than that’s what it is, Because God is not a man, that He should lie,

Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Has He said, and will He not do it?

Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it? Numbers 23:19 Amp.  So that’s my proclamation, I’m going to be moved to the point of faith and not to the point of clap back. I don’t know about you but I want to see the Glory in my situation, I want to see the Glory in my circumstances. So allow the heckling to catapult you to a greater level of faith, a greater level of righteousness, a greater level of obedience. Sometimes people say things and then watch for your reaction, the intent was to hurt, the intent was to cast a snare, but no matter what man’s intent, come on and let’s level up!! Level up in your faith, level up in trusting God, level up in letting the word perfect and mature you. That’s why you can shout Don’t count me out, I still believe.

Verse: 40 Jesus told them to take away the stone. Lord take away the stone!! Ezekiel 36:26 – says Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My ordinances and do them. Lord that away the stone, because the stone represents blockage, nothing could get in and nothing could get out. For if my heart is hard, your word can not abide and sin will not leave, but if I have a new heart, a heart of flesh you word your spirit can abide in and with me, and because you are abiding in me, that old man will have to die! So Lord take away the stone!!! Whatever that stone represents, that causes us not to mature and hear you calling us! Lord take away the stone!

Verse 41-42 Notice how he began to thank his Father 1st, we want to develop a spirit of thanksgiving even in the midst of what looks like a disaster or what’s not going our way!! Father, I want to take the time out right now to say Thank you! Thank you for all that you have done, thank you for making ways, thank you for just being God! Hallelujah thank you Jesus!!!

Verse 43-44 – He shouted with a loud voice Lazarus, come out!! Lazarus comes out, with his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths and with a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, Unwrap him and release him. Now that the stone was removed Lazarus was able to hear Christ call him and come out, but he came out with what he was wrapped in, after God brings us out, sometimes there is some residue that we will need to be loosed from, we decree and declare on today that even residue must unwrap and release us. So we no longer look like the former things, we no longer sound and act like the dead things because we are alive and we’re coming forth. We have to change our garments. We’re going to put on the oil of joy for mourning, we’re going to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

In my conclusion don’t let nobody count you out! Don’t count your own self out. Don’t come in alignment or in agreement with what God hasn’t said or ordained for your life. Because it can offset your life. Hear me, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. And don’t be moved, but hold fast to your belief in God because we are going to see the Glory if we faint not. Because of our faith and steadfastness in God it will cause the eyewitnesses to believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! So you can say with confidence don’t count me out because I still believe and there’s still work assigned to our hands!!!!!

There have been times when I operated out of and opened myself up to self-sabotage! You may ask how? I’m so glad you asked. I allowed what they said to hold more weight and speak louder than what God said. So, I began to operate below the call, below the grace, I began to look like the words that I allowed to hold more weight. When God opportunities, connections came, instead of walking knowing God had me and if he brought me to it, he would bring me through it. I walk in the weight of man’s words that kept me oppressed and stagnated. Now is it their fault or mine? Mine and I must hold myself accountable and you should too!!! They said I wasn’t good enough, but His word said: Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thes 5:24. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil 4:13 Which means when I lean into the Holy Spirit, I’m not doing it anyway, it’s him doing the work through me. I just became a willing, obedient vessel, a conduit for the Holy Spirit to move through. They said: my yesterday disqualifies me now. What did God say: I, even I, and he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake and will not remember thy sins. Isa 43:25. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phil 1:6. Now a word of correction is not the same as naysayers! We must make the distinction and not group it all together. If we don’t we open ourselves up to self-justification and self-righteousness. Even the word tells us in Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. So, the difference between what they said and what God has said is this: They said will oppress you, silence you, cause you to be stagnate, paralyze you, and cause you to miss God ordain doors and opportunities. God’s correction will yield a peaceable fruit of righteousness. Prune you to mature you, cutting away the dead branches to allow you to bring forth more fruit. Reveals what needs to be uprooted, because it has no use in where he’s taking you. It not only reveals, but it has the Grace to heal. Join me the next 30 days in being intentional about declaring what God has said!!! Declare what He has said over your life! Declare what He has said over every situation that you find yourself in! If there’s a problem, a circumstance or an issue, the answer is in the word that you can declare over it! Jesus said: the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. There’s life in communing in the word! But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, He will not speak on his own: he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13 NIV. Let’s declare the truth of God’s word over our life even when it reproves us!!!

Topic: Forced to Produce In A Desert Place

Sub Topic: This Harsh Place Has Provoked Me To Flourish

Produce – cause to happen or come into existence

Desert – a dry barren area of land, especially on covered w/sand, that is characteristically desolate, waterless & without vegetation

Flourish – grow or develop in an impressively successful way

Forced– compelled by force or necessity produced w/effort or pressure

Wilderness – an uncultivated, uninhabited and inhospitable region

Scriptures

Isaiah 40:3-5

Isaiah 58:11-12

I was listening to some gospel music on YouTube and an infomercial came on & Dr. Gundry began to tell how he found an olive tree that was very potent with hydroxytyrosol and polyphenol which is considered to be really good. But what caught my attention was when he began to describe how the olive trees in Morocco Africa grew in harsh conditions but because of this they had the highest quality and most potent and concentrated olive oil.

According to him olive oil:

Supports your Immune System

Soften & Hydrate your Skin

Soothes Muscles & Joints

Maintain Heart Health

Loss Fat

Now let’s relate this to the Holy Spirit:

He causes my Immune System to be strong enough go go through the test and I won’t be spiritually weak and sick picking up all kinds of spirits

He hydrates me so I am not easily offended, dried up with no anointing; yet he softens me to be compassionate to God’s people

Maintains my Heart Health by convicting and reminding me of the Word of God to not allow bitterness take root and derail me from my destiny

Loss Fat cause me to drop off the weight and the sin that so easily besets me

Low quality olive oil can stall your health goals; low oil in the spirit can stall your growth in the spirit and cause you to be brittle in the spirit with no flexibility and unable to shift and move in and with the Holy Spirit.

Let’s talk about the harsh conditions:

Barely any rain

Really hot

Soil hardly has nutrition

Olive trees think they are dying which is the best thing that could happen to the trees because they go into survival mode

The trees begin to produce massive amounts of polyphenols, they are jammed packed with them; they begin to bulk up; the stress caused by the harsh conditions produces stronger and better quality of olive oil. Now the trees that grew elsewhere had olives and oil and flourished, but the oil was not as potent because they had good conditions to grow in. Right here tell the Lord thank you for my harsh conditions. We don’t want to be full of olives but our oil is not effective!

Let’s take a look at the scripture in Isaiah and John the Baptist, John was positioned in the wilderness, a not so hospitable place and he still had to produce, he had to fulfill the assignment of crying out and tell the people to prepare the way of the Lord and to repent. He still had to baptize even in a dry place, he still had to produce in a harsh place. Let’s look at the Hebrew Boys, because they would deny their God, they were thrown in a fiery furnace, a harsh place, but that harsh place caused them to bulk up in the spirit and the magnitude of their faith caused the the son of God to be seen even before he was born in the earth realm in the midst of a fiery furnace. They produced in their harsh place and had the victory in the midst of it because they were sitting down talking to the son of God! We are the olives that must grow in harsh conditions and produce effective and sustainable oil. God gives us the Victory right while we are in the midst of the harsh place. Because the word God allows this place in our lives to be a refiner and purifier to purify and purge us as gold and silver that we may offer unto the Lord an offering of righteousness =produce= causes us to produce the peaceable fruit even in this desert or harsh place, it causes us to bulk up in the spirit, causes us to pray more, causes us to fast more, causes us to produce the assignment, causes us to operate in the marketplace even in the midst of a pandemic; causes us to unlock a new dimension in Christ because our thirst and hungry has gone to another level; causes our faith to go to another level to bring that impossible thing into existence; So I would present to you that your harsh place, your desert place was necessary that it was the catalyst God used to cause the oil of the Lord to flow out of you; and the oil that comes out is undiluted full of strength and sustainability Persecuted, lied on, lied to, mishandled, left for dead both spiritually and naturally, looked like you weren’t going to make it, no one to encourage you= water you, but because God specializes in the impossible and our trust and confidence is in him, when it appears we are dead or left for dead, that’s when we bulk up and allow the transformation to take place from your flesh and soulish being to being lead by the Holy Spirit; that’s when we go into survival mode, that nothing shall separate us from the love God; that same spirit  that raised Christ from the dead is dwelling in us and quickening us causing us to be made alive and allowing us to produce even in the harshest terrain giving us a sustaining anointing even in a desert place; he causes that which was rough and meant to work against us, cause us to give up and give in, he allows it to smooth something in us; he causes our low places to be raised up, low confidence, low faith, low love, low tenacity, low will to go forth, he raises it up and every high mountain he gives us the strength to climb past it or the faith to command it to be moved, mountains of unbelieve, proud, fear, selfishness, disobedience.  Sometimes God will have you minister from a desert place yet cause life and strength in others.  John was in the desert, but what was in him was not dry,what was in him was life changing to all those who received it to repent and be converted. God wants his Glory to be revealed even in our rough and uncomfortable place because he has given us a sustaining Grace and the power to produce undiluted oil that has not been contaminated with sin. David said, it was good that I was afflicted and I shall make the same declaration, it was good that I was afflicted, it allowed me to truly experience Christ!

So in conclusion it was necessary that I went through every heartbreak, every trial, every uncomfortable place that the thick unadulterated oil of God can flow out and through me and cause me to be productive and produce even in a desert or harsh place.  The Lord shall guide us and satisfy us even in the midst of a drought and a pandemic. He’s that spring in us that water will not fail. He strengthens me to build up my old waste places. He is the repairer of the breach and the restorer of paths to dwell in. We have the power and authority to produce.  Let us walk in this authority without apology! We decree and declare we shall produce in a desert and shall flourish in a harsh place because God is our source and he is that well that is springing up in us!
