" Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident"- Psalm 27:3 seeing acts of kindness from the people in this always the opportunity and our quiet times for the enemy to slip in and say you are not good enough this morning I want to preach this morning. I’d like to have a conversation on how I’ve learned that the enemy is right, you were not enough we’ll talk about that in just a little bit.

" Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through pslams, hymns , and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts" Colossians 3:16  expressions of our love song one is music and the other is action which is equally important. God always creates with purpose. Remember this everything that God has built has a purpose everything that God designed has a purpose. There’s nothing that God has created that does not serve a purpose music is no different Music by the way is spiritual music is spiritual music for just a second before we dive into the fact that music existed before mankind was even constructed.

"All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast"- Proverbs 15:15

" Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy"- Proverbs 31:9 When or why it is appropriate to speak, we speak up we speak up for those in need we speak up for our friends and we even speak up for ourselves and how do we know when to do that? How do we know when to step into that role when we are supposed to be slow to anger And we’re supposed to listen more than we speak

"My Dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become Angry" - James 1:19 so deceive yourself, but what but do what it says anyone who listens to the word it does not do what it says it’s like someone who looks at the mirror, and after looking at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it, not forgetting what they have heard but doing it, they will be blessed in what they do really really like what we share with what is being shared here what James is teaching and it says it says look it says look intently at the perfect law.

reference to this demon possessed boy that the disciples were unable to help Matthew 17;14- 19 when they came to the crowd, a man approach Jesus, and melt before him Lord have mercy on my son. He said he has seizures and is suffering greatly he’s off And falls into the fire or in the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him you unbelieving and perverse generation as Jesus kick in a few tables there Jesus replied how long shall I stay with you? How long should I put up with you saying how long till you see these miracles and you see me talking about our father in heaven.

Strongest muscle in the body looking on paper the strongest muscle in the body is the muscle surrounding our jaws. We have an immense amount of pressure we can chop down on  , but if we look at a sense of what more can this do the strongest muscle in our body is our tongue. It has the ability to shape the world around us.

Breaking free from the spirit of offense means that we have to understand that offense comes from emotion, and emotion is a gift from God from the point of our creation. Humans have emotions because all people are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). God Himself has and feels emotions. He gets angry (Zechariah 1:15; Matthew 21:12-13). He feels sadness (Genesis 6:6; John 11:35; Ephesians 4:30). The Lord was pleased with His creation (Genesis 1:31). He loves and delights in His people (Psalm 149:4; John 3:16; Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:9). Remember that God gave us free will and with that free will comes the opportunity to use the gifts and tools given to us for both good and evil. Much like a knife is a useful tool to open a letter or prepare a meal it can also be used to hurt someone, even unintentionally.

A spirit of offense is not a mysterious, unknown spirit circling around us. Spirit of Offense simply

means, we were hurt by someone and struggle in our spirit to let the offense go. Walking around

with a spirit of offense, whether the hurt is big or small, can leave us spiritually and emotionally

broken.

There is a difference between being offended and having the spirit of offense. First, let’s look at

what a spirit is. A spirit is not a ghost, it is not a left behind entity of someone who’s passed

away. Hollywood makes serious money from movies that depict spirits as haunting ghosts with

unfinished business.

2 Thessalonians 3:17

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This

is how I write.

Based on this verse and other points of evidence, it's possible that false teachers had been

sending letters to the Thessalonian church with the apostle Paul's forged signature. For

example, in some of Paul's other letters, he mentions false claims about his teachings (Romans

3:8), or makes a point of noting that he's personally inscribing certain words (Colossians 4:18;

Philemon 1:19). To assure the Thessalonians that this was genuinely his letter, Paul attached

his signature to it. Paul's handwriting itself might have had a distinctive style that his associates

would have recognized (Galatians 6:11)
