Hi this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has got amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this. Such have you in the mouth of the Lord today I want to encourage us all this morning to keep our heart free from offence offences Everywhere Jesus said as long as you're here offence. Welcome as long as we live in this world someone's going to say something that we don't understand, something that hurts our feelings. Maybe your husband doesn't listen to your opinion. There's always going to be reasons to take up an offence, an opportunity to take it in. You know it's interesting

As you know, the people that you are around are one thing, but how about that? now that you ve never even met, and you are mean by that everybody's opinion can go public these days on social me, yeah. You began to read somebody's opinion you here with their rail and against co blushed or do you think I'm agree without law, but they say I mean you again, given all upset, you call your brother, you call your sister you your neighbor. Can you believe that I think that in that crazy he's a you begin to get frustrated enough It's been energy on that benefits on those things that don't really even matter, you see it's as if we're taking the bait, We cannot take the back of a fence and live in victory. Joy peace, we gotta, let it go. We can't

get on us. We can't swallow debate. In fact, in the scripture, the word- a fence comes from the greek word that me, He's bait it was used to lure animals into a trap, see the bait or the offence was what got the animals to come on in. Take the bay, and sometimes that's what happens to us with a events in the wars us right into a trap. We get caught up in this circle of offence. In this trap of events, we get upset, we get frustrated, we get better because we ve swallowed it look line in sinker, so we spend our time trying to figure out what somebody meant dissecting every word that waste of our time. What in the world

could be so important that we have to take our time to figure it all out. What in the world? Could someone say that we do? that important to your destiny. If its offensive to you, but you know what we take up event. Sometimes when no one really means anything, that's a whole another subject, but we're talking today about thinking twice about any advance any offence. We got a recognised, what's happening when we're frustrated and when we're going in the circle of events, and we ve got to learn to drop it and let it go see the quicker we let go of offence, the more free we're going to be the other day. I was cleaning a spot off of my carpet, so I went and got some carpets spot remover. I looked on the back to see with the instructions set about it and it said get this far off is quickly as you can

Why? Because the longer that spots there, the harder it is to remove as you that's the same way with a fence with you- have a stain of offence on your heart. The longer you allow it to be there, the harder it's gonna take to get rid of it. But the sooner you let it go, the better off you'll be don't go hour by hour day today, trying to figure it all out. It's not that important. If it's offended you not that important proverbs, one thousand nine hundred and eleven says good sense makes one slow to anger and it is to one's glory look and events good sense makes one Slota anger, and it's too, glory to overlook in events. You see it's to our good it s. No good.

Go around offended allowing that to take root in our heart. She will get good at overlooking a fence. We're gonna live a more satisfying and happy life. Jesus was no stranger to offence. People were constantly trying to trap him into a fence. It says in second Peter that they hurled insults at him. Nor did it said he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He didn't entrust his lie. He didn't give his lie his ways to some opinion, false accusations he entrusted his lie to the one that was incorrect. Draw this lie the one who could judge justly that's where he found its resolve. He found it by knowing other people's opinions.

Whether they mean it or not. I don't have to affect him. You see we're all going to have to learn how to let go of offence, and it is, process we're all gonna have to learn the apostle Paul in second Timothy fourteen people for had to work at keeping a fence off of him as well. He said Alexander, the Coppersmith did me a great wrong. Legato judge him. God will take care. What he's done you see he gave it to go he wasn't taking the responsibility on himself to be the judge and jury of everyone's opinion here. God I have things to do. I can't walk around with an offended heart, walk around with bitterness and anger and expect to be everything. God call made a b c. We need

that kind of attitude. We need to turn the situation around like Paul there and turn it over to God. This will show up it's just how we going to handle that when it shows up it's going to be there, I can tell you it's going to be there as long as you live on this earth with people it's going to be there. Have you ever put like a bite of food in your mouth? Maybe you're going to try something new and it was like. I don't like the way it tastes, and you have to stop for a minute you're thinking. What am I going to do? A magna spit it out or my guess, wallet and yours thanking you know why. What do I do? I mean who met with. You're, just thinking right. A lot of this stuff, have literally done that and taken my napkin gonna win. That's not very ladylike, but in their son, then that a key in your mouth You don't want to swallow it I've gotta. What you need to do is fitted out if you ever taste the bitterness of sense,

that yeah key feeling in your mouth swallow it fitted out and you can go down in your most parts. We ve got to take a moment and think twice about taking up a fence is gonna benefits Any isn't gonna make your life better is going to make you we're happy more joyful for you baby running up your day at work for a co worker leaves you out of an important meeting. You have till four hundred and fifteen to decide if you're going to take that offense, Are you going to spit that events in your napkin? Are you gonna? Take it home with you are you there let? It upsets your whole day, Are you gonna? Let it disturbed the peace in your home? What are you gonna do with that? Fits we're, gonna, learn to step back and think twice about taken in

that's in John can scripture tells us that there were certain people in the crowds when Jesus would go places that wanted to capture him. They wanted to see his life. They wanted Take him in stone. Here there were certain people that were always trying to strike stir up trouble. There is such an important thing that it says it Jesus did in a voice. I wondered what it said in the other day, when I read it, I thought me. It says that Jesus would slip out of the crowd and go on his way tat brought about by just a minute here some people in the crowd that we're trying to seize him and trap him, but he like slipped away and moved on, and I thought about. You know what Jesus did. It was a plain houdini. It wasn't being some magic man.

He didn't give in to their opinions. He didn't try to defend himself. He did star at trot strike. He didn't say paid John, why they ban so unfair. We evolved and talk to those people know he, nor that the opinions of others and he moved on his way. He latterly slip through the fingers of offence. Moved on. Oh buddy cats, your teeth like nobody could capture him. Jesus gave his life. He made decision to lay down. He didn't allow anybody to change the course of his destiny by a fence by insults. He said now about an assignment from God, I trust my life to the wandering judges justly and cannot You, you got a flip through the fingers of offence. So you're gonna move on your way. If you're gonna,

Keep Goin to those places they got has not been as that important to waste your time. Listen if a fence can't upset you dance, can't control, and if a fifth can't control you don't worry to live a life of joy and shake off any advance. You haven't decisions and give a helping hand.
