The Demon Spirit of Offense

I have written a lot on this blog over the years about how demonic being offended really is. John Wimber said long ago that whatever offends the mind reveals the heart. There is negative and positive information derived from that.

Jesus said clearly that in the last days the Demon Spirit of Offense would rise up. It has. I am trying not be be among them. I hope for the same for you.

All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:8-12

The spirit of offense is guilty of breaking up marriages, destroying churches and wrecking friendships. The list of their destruction is very long. They are the cause of what has been named "ROAD RAGE," which all drivers of vehicles have experienced in their own lives. It's a rage that just takes over and it throws us into a fit. It happens in the Church first. It's where the Judgment of God must begin. What are people offended by? By Jesus. And his anointing and his manifest presence.

Today in Church Pastor Phil had a reader read from an unadulterated Mark 16:16-20

16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

19After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

I'm convinced of the truth of this passage. We have watered down the Gospel to not be offensive to unbelievers and so called seekers when what they really want is conviction, passion and authenticity. Of course the Demon Spirit of Offense will take issue with this.

It is time to allow people to be offended by the truth of the Word of God. There will be an end time Whore Church made up of those who wish to pick and choose their doctrine theologies and those who are true believers in the revealed word from Genesis to Maps.

So, take offense. I just want to know one thing, What are you offended at? If it's Jesus and what he said in this passage you have a huge problem.

Whatever offends the Mind Reveals YOUR heart.
