“But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.”1 Corinthians 15:57 TPT
What do we need victory over? Our enemy Satan’s wiles and our flesh. Fleshly attitudes can dominate, I, me, mine the biggest attitude traps along with offense when others interfere.
Always, when someone is offended by my behaviour I have to ask: is it true that I have caused this offence, or is the offence in the other their problem? Our flesh would like it always be the other’s problem, however, if there is an element of truth then I need to find repentance. Sometimes it is both.
Over the weekend this came up, I was caught in the middle of friends; one being offended at the other. I then had insight into my own processing as I watched the friend who was blamed for the cause process the accusation. She was now, herself, battling offence. I counselled that it is best to go to the Holy Spirit for insight and take His decision.
Allowing Holy Spirit to guide and give insight is important otherwise all we have is offense circulating around and around. The Holy Spirit’s insight will lead to freedom and repentance. A clean heat will result. Amen!
