Good day family! It's such a blessing to get the opportunity to share with you on this beautiful day. I like to have this out before noon but the Lord took my attention away to a message that seems to be more in line with where He wants me today. I've been digging into a few different things to grasp what He has for us today. I pray you forgive the tardiness of this but know that God is always on time.
We look into the world and we see offense everywhere we go. So much so that we even begin to see it in the mirror before too long. As a born again child of God that's quite a pill to take in. We just have a hard time swallowing this bitter pill. I encourage you to watch what seems to be a simple video and it was likely intended as secular message but it's very much related to the offense our world takes in every day "the bait in Satan's snare."

We stand in offense for others so we are not perceived as judging, but we want to seem loving by being offended for someone, but we want it all to be perceived in love. In reality it's just plain and simple judgement of others. We have no need and clearly absolutely no right to judge anyone. This is especially to all around us but even more so Self, yes, Self! What? Yes, Self! we tend to judge others and tell ourselves its all in love but in reality its in judgement. Even when we get past that for others we begin to stand in offense for self and judge it as being offended for various reasons. We see self in the way and take offense. You have no right to judge others, EVER! You have no Right to judge Self. Christ is our Judge. No matter the reason or season for all things, Forgive! Yes, Forgive, others AND Self. Christ is our intercessor and our advocate, and our redeemer. Follow direction from the Word as Paul told Timothy.
2 Timothy 2:24–26 NLT - 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.
See we need to be led by the Holy Spirit.
We need to be in His will.
We need to do all things with patience.
We need to teach.
We need to Gently instruct.
We need be careful not to be Prideful or Haughty and fall into the same trap or snare we are helping to free others from. Only by living in the presence of the Holy Spirit can we remain free and free others.
Father help us to free others from all the traps and snares of the enemy out there. In so doing help us to remain free ourselves and not get caught in the same trap or snare. Father let us not judge others in anyway Father and forgive us of our past judgements. Father forgive us of our judgement of self that is your job and your job alone. We stand in the gap and forgive others of any offense and forgive self for any judgement and wrong doing. Father help us to continually walk in freedom and remain fully in your presence so as not to get caught in the traps and snares of the enemy. Father let us continually give all the mercy and grace you have bestowed upon us to the world around us. We give you all the worship within us and praise your Holy name. All the Glory is yours Father. In the precious beautiful amazing glorious wonderful humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
