This is for ILG,
Taken from a Message on Forgiveness and Holding Oughts against people. This was the conclusion about how we overcome offenses.
How to escape the trap of offence and unforgiveness?
1. Surrender past hurts to the Holy Spirit
2. Let your expectations (ought’s) rest in God alone, the source of many offences is unreasonable expectations. Are you looking to others to complete you or Jesus Christ? Jesus said that people will let us down (
Luke 17:1) Circumstances will not go our way, John the Baptist (
Luke 7:18) Sometimes God doesn’t answer prayer that way we want him to (Matt. 27:46)
3. Realize that God has allowed offences to change us.
Jeremiah 48:11 “Moab has been at ease from his[a] youth;
He has settled on his dregs,
And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him,
And his scent has not changed.
When someone offends you, don’t nurse it, don’t rehearse it, don’t curse it, don't disperse it, and God will in time reverse it!
