Pastor Mark Stroud

The spirit of offense is like a snake in the grass lying in wait to catch us unaware. When we let hurt feelings go unchecked, bitterness forms and gives the enemy a foothold in our lives. An offended heart seeks revenge on the offender. It takes us to a dark place. Don't let offense rob you of your peace. Be quick to forgive as Jesus has forgiven you.

Guard your heart against the spirit of offense.

There will come a time while under a declaration of peace the Antichrist will declare himself the God. There will be a great rebellion against God, and a falling away from the church. Do you know what you believe? Are you ready to stand firm on your beliefs in the presence of adversity?

This video is entitled, The Age of Darkness.

In order for temptation to be valid two things must be true. There must be both a desire and the ability to fulfill a promise given. Satan will offer us counterfeit versions of the legitimate desires that God has given us. Although these counterfeits are quick and easy to obtain, the price the enemy exacts for them is much too high. Don't submit to Satan's authority. Don't forsake your destiny in God by following a short cut that leads to sin and shame. Know who you are, and hold fast to the promises of God.

Today's message is entitled, "Kiss The Ring". It is part 2 of "Strange Voices".

The scriptures tell us that as followers of Christ we will be hated by some without a cause. Don't compromise who you are. Don't forsake your salvation. Don't forsake your calling. Stand firm. Put on your armor and prepare for the battle against the need to be liked.

Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. While we wait on His return, we need to stay where He has placed us. Deceivers will come and try to lead you astray. Don't let them. Know the voice of Jesus, and flee from the Strange Voices.

What happens in a pot that continues to heat up over time? Sooner or later it will reach the boiling point. Our culture is like that pot. It's currently under great pressure from the fires of change. A storm is coming that will change the world forever. The Light of Christ is already shining in the mist of darkness. Jesus is coming! We must be ready.

Don't let the enemy cage you. Don't let him shut down your gift. Jesus has given you the power to put your foot on the enemy's neck. You are no longer bound. You are free. So stay free and get out of the ditch (those mental ruts that bind us).

A short healing prayer.

Jesus' sacrifice on the cross delivered us from the power of sin and the penalty of sin. Don't let sin control you. Don't live your life trying to pay a debt that has already been paid. Instead let the grace of God abound in your life.

Adam's sin brought judgment on us all. Jesus' act of righteousness made new life available to us all. We just have to chose it. Sin still crouches at the door waiting for the opportunity to pounce. It wants to control you. Don't let it. Gain the strength you need to subdue it through the knowledge of the truth.
