As someone in leadership myself, this video really hit me. I’ve been in a situation lately where I noticed that I’m not humble. I need to learn to listen more than speak and give my hurt to God to heal. God bless you and your ministry
Thank you so much for making this video. You really opened my eyes to the many ways the enemy attacks us. I never knew that Jesus was disrespected by his followers. I always thought he was respected. As I was growing up my parents always taught me to be respectful to everyone especially your church family and that your church family should also be respectful too. So when I was growing up i was always disrespected by my friends. So when it came to my church family I too was being disrespected by my church family. I was always left confused, hurt and wondering why. But now I know and I couldn't be more thankful to you for making this video and to God for leading me to this video. Once again thanks 😊
When I got offended recently, I knew it was a trap! I was ready to isolate myself, cut off great friends, etc. offense will separate you from the blessings of God.
@@thesinglehomemaker hey I don’t know what are you talking about. I think I was replying to someone else. That’s was mixtake. I think I was replying to someone else and I did to you. By mixtake
@@giovannaloureiro175 Another person cannot make you offended. An offense is something woken up that’s already inside of you. Offense is you judging someone which is you playing God which separates you from God. To understand this is to be free from it. That’s also why a true Christian cannot be offended.
What struck me is that offended people usually demand respect. Anything that the devil can do to take our eyes of God by looking at men. Deny yourself. Not develop yourself. Inevitably, denying oneself develops ourselves. We need to improve carrying our cross. We are here to serve God, not to be honored by people even if we want it. Our focus should be to serve God. Pride is like fingernails we need to trim every so often. Thank you Pastor Vlad. The teachings are gold!
This is why it's so important to do unto others as we want done to us...we think everyone enters in with these same boundaries when someone hurts us, but woe...how easy it turns into a battle...we are warring against the spiritual darkness..
“There are forces of darkness that are using the offense to entice you into characters and habits that are not In line with God’s word” that was an eye-opening thank you!
My sister inlaw kept offending me at times i just wanted to punch her in the face, lol. But i love the Lord and had to let alot things go and forgave her everytime, it gets better. The more i read bible and pray the more i grow. ❤️❤️❤️ P.s the more i give her love the more she stays away from me. If she want the Lord in her life she will change, and i will be there for her. 😊
Update, lol i am still forgiving her for the past. And she is now out of my life physically now i am busy getting her out of my spiritual life. It is not easy, because i never really thought the devil could use people like that. But i trust in God. Thnk you for your likes and comments. It is good to know i am not alone. ❤️❤️
Pray and say out loud that you choose to forgive this person (say there name) and then (say what your forgiving them for) to get it out of your heart and then repent of any unforgiveness or offence or bitterness or all! What ever is needed and then ask God to heal your heart and take the pain and then ask for grace, mercy and love to fill your heart ❤️ and bless the person your forgiving 🙏
Yes and it’s our soul . We need to pray like Davies psalms 142:7 “ Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
Thank you Lord for this short teaching, and thank you pastor Vlad! This opened my eyes to see that: 1. I was more offended than I was willing to admit. 2. Though the offense was justified, it was causing my character to not be like Jesus. 3. The offense was taking my eyes off Jesus. Thank you for the tips, by God's grace they will be applied.
I remembered John Bevere's "Bait of Satan" book, and it awakened me from an offense that I used to hold against a family member for years. Now we are reconciled in Christ. Glory to God for these preachings! Glory to God for His amazing Word! Indeed, offense is a TRAP! Choose to avoid causing offenses!
Yes yes, i agree, Bait of Satan by John Bevere is a wonderful deep dive into how Satan uses it to divide us and explains very succinctly how to approach/handle offended when they come. Pastor Vlad did an amazing job of covering this topic so thoroughly in 15 mins! 😊❤🙏
What you need to realize is Satan can know when God is getting ready to promote a soul.. God allows for our good as God did in Job..for Satan can do nothing without God's permission...to try us.. We must recognize offense..and cast it down Continuously.. Often things happen..and in my life..actually situations did nit realize I was upset or offended..the devil 😈 Is a person..enemy..coming to steal, kill, and destroy.... Using offense..obey God.. Isaiah 1:18-19 KJV TRUE
Praise God for this clarification. Jesus himself have gone through brutal confrontation, insults, and mockery. Yet He didnt fight back and focus on HIS purpose to serve, save, and heal the lost.❤
I work in a spiritually dark place. Sometimes my employer is unfair and as an unbeliever doesn't always do what is right. Yesterday I was so frustrated, I felt like I wanted to quit. I needed to hear this. God put me there for a reason, it is not just to make money. This inspires me to want to go from entitled to entrusted ❤️🙏
Dear, you are the salt of God in that work place, you need to do something. It would help if you would get up earlier every morning and pray submitting your employer to the authority, government and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask the Father to send warrior angels to bind in him the entire hierarchy of spirits that operate in him, to confine them to his belly (so that his mind can think properly).Proclaim that Jesus Christ is God and rules in that workplace. He is the highest authority. Bring that person to the Presence of the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to teach you by His Holy Spirit how to pray for him! what to bind, what to set loose, what to uproot, what to plant in his heart; to give you wisdom in your daily relation.
@@GladysRWhite Thank you for this. Everything you shared is confirmation as to why I’m at a job I never imagined I’d be at. Especially when you mentioned being SALT! Amen 🙏🏼
I need prayer, I need to handle people, that treat me unfair. Treat them the way God wants me to treat them. Ego needs to be trimmed! Thank you for this teaching. Bless you!
Yes, but at he same time the Bible doesn’t tell us we need to hang out with these people. Laban kept taking advantage of Jacob, and Jacob and his family left.
So good- "We ask Jesus to make us His servant, but when we start getting treated like a servant... we get mad". So true!!!! Thank you, Vlad, for honestly putting this out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching this video for the 3rd time and I know for sure I have a demon of offense. I am a suicide survivor, a complete miracle from God. Hallelujah🎉 but I am dealing with rejection, offense, and unforgiveness, it’s been making me bitter and blocking me from my ABBA! I don’t know how your going to do it Jesus but I believe and have faith that you will help me remove this so I can step into and fulfill my assignment and destiny serving your people and operating in love! God you are the potter and I’m sorry your clay is dry, god throw water on me and make me moldable again, deliver me in Rightesnous and cause me to escape. I want to be the spotless bride you are coming back for😩 fill me with your Holy Spirit, God whom vengeance to , I worship you and give you the highest praise! ALL GLORY AND HONNOR AND POWER BE UNTO THE LAMB!
This morning at work I got a little upset at a staff meeting. Firstly I work front desk at a doctors office and it’s not the ideal job for me..I’m not a public person. Secondly, I use to be the person that would be offended and I would wear my “feelings on my sleeves” I just didn’t want to be bothered. God has been dealing with me on this...and I’ve gotten better...This morning it crept back and I immediately straighten my attitude..I could tell people felt my frustration....which is never my intention..this video popped up as soon as I opened RU-vid..love the confirmation ❤️
I used to be offended when my friends left me when I was suffering from depression and Thanks to God I was saved now This message teaches me lot . Thank you Pastor Vlad
Vlad! You are spiritually gifted! More Christian leaders need to do what Vlad is doing, WHATEVER he is doing, so that God can take them deeper into an understanding of the influences of our nature, the demonic influences, and how God made us to cast out negative things! There is SO MUCH SPIRITUAL MEAT HERE!!!
@@vladhungrygen SERIOUSLY! I don’t know of any churches that preach the way you do. Can you please tell me something? Who else in the Bible preached with fire and full of the spirit the way you and Isaiah do?!!
The biggest thing I took from this teaching is point #3 because I knew that me being offended by a specific person was so intentional by the adversary and it’s attached to my current season of calling. Even the word “call/ed” is a word God has been using to pour into me these past few weeks. Thanks for this video: I don’t understand why I am struggling with the spirit of offense but I knew the adversary has a foothold in my life. This video gave me the tool I need to continue seeking God about this season I am in
I'm guilty of these. Thanks for making this video. The holy spirit has convicted me recently for my holding offences. I've seen it in others and it's ugly, imagine then seeing it in myself.......shocking. I give thanks to God for drawing me out of the darkness of offences.
Yes this is right on time! I allowed myself to get into an argument with a representative on the phone after I kept calm about her rudeness. But after she went to arguing I went it too. I am the customer( I thought)... my mom said to allow her to fuss.... I kept arguing. When she put us on hold, my mom said the humble tastes the grace... I did not argue anymore, Holy Spirit told me to apologize and ask for forgiveness, bc Satan would not tell me to do that hindsight. But I did not do it... I am convicted bc I fell into the trap. God forgive me.
Good word Vlad, In my early years in the kingdom. I walked in the Spirit/love and fought of offense often. Later in life, I found out I needed deliverance and now the torment makes it so hard to not get offended with people. I keep reminding myself His grace is sufficient.
I cannot tell you how timely this was. This showed up in my feed one year after you posted it (you posted it long before I ever knew of you), and just minutes after I became so offended by something my Mom said to me about an issue I had with church leadership, it made me not want to continue to attend church. I hung up the phone very hurt and offended, and immediately prayed that God would humble me and not let me use this to feel sorry for myself or let it put a wedge between me and God. And then God put this year-old video in my feed for that reason. Well...algorithms put it there, too 😊 but God used the algorithms. Praise Him.
wow this makes sense, i used to be like this, and recently the Holy Spirit has been revealing this to me. When the enemy wants me to perceive a situation a certain way, I discuss it with my husband and he lovingly says "Well did they say that, or did you think that it is what they were saying?" and that made me question why, so the enemy was trying to cause conflict where there was none. I see this now. Thank you for discussing this.
Thank You Father for this teaching, forgive me Lord for ever allowing myself to be offended. Blood of Jesus wash away the spirit of offence in my life. In Your Mighty name I pray
This is work as I get so crushed inside when people are mean to me. It hurts me to the core especially if they think I have evil intentions or think any evil of me because I'm not like that whatsoever. I know it's fr 30 years of abuse that begs acceptance from everyone. I only need my Father's acceptance ahe knows and loves me fully. Praise you God change me view when these times come
Our carnal nature is filled with evil seeds. Pride is one of them. The cross Jesus told us to carry (Mathew 16:24) is to crucify on it whatever arises in us each day. We can pray our Father to please examine our hearts, our thoughts daily, and ask Him to please uproot every seed, plant, flower, or fruit of evil that has germinated in our soil /soul so that we don't sin against Him. Pride is a spirit of satan, our fallen nature replicates it. Consider that our spirit has been born-again, but our soul needs to be regenerated while we are here on earth. We need to work on that with the direction and help of the Holy Spirit, daily!
Thanks so much for this seasoned teaching. I've learnt that denying myself is an intentional process as well. When I take my feelings to the cross and deny myself🤲🏾🙌🏾
The LORD just led me into this video as I know I am currently going through this struggle. I get offended literally everyday by every people I encounter. And as much as I'm trying so hard not to be offended and try to be more kind & forgiving to people, it's just so hard. Maybe there are really strongholds and a root of offense in my life that I need to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to me. Thankyou Pastor Vlad for bringing light into this topic. This is a huge help especially for people like me who have a desire to be used by God for His Kingdom.
The good Lord help me, I'm an offended person due to my childhood. I hate falling for the same bait of offense. I'll be praying for others who want to be free from this stronghold so we all walk in freedom 🙏
Oh wow, this is me all the way. 😅🥺 I'm so glad you released this video. I've been very hypersensitive and easily offended by some motivational videos lately and I've been tired of seeing it so I've been avoiding. I just don't like being yelled at by strangers. It makes me feel small and stupid. 😔 I haven't prayed in a long time now, I need to talk to God in prayer and ask the Lord for help. It's really hard for me....
I needed to hear this today! 🙌 ALL GLORY TO GOD.....something recently happened to me that was so blatantly unfair but this was confirmation to forgive and remain humble.....as I was watching I felt the spirit of offense leave. Hallelujah 😃 I'm believing for too much not to be humble.....Jesus Christ rescued me from TOO MUCH not to allow his heart to operate through me in this situation. Praise God.
I just came across this message. I love this so so much. I am the person you speak of. I can't stop listening. I played it over and over again. Thanks for the work.
Thank you so much pastor...I needed this right now in my life! It's so hard choosing to love a Jezebel spirit and I find it so hard to stop demanding respect..I know it's 💔 because it falls on deaf ears...I thank you for saying, "Do you want to follow, Jesus, or have followers?" So true...keep the focus on Christ because they are watching us anyways...HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL GOD'S CHILDREN!
If we have crucified the "self" on that cross the Lord Jesus instructed us to carry in Mathew 16.24, and do what Psalms 119:165 says " Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." Nothing will offend us! We need to be dead for the Lord Jesus to truly live in us and govern our lives! When Paul said: It's no longer I that lives, but Christ that lives in me" this is what he was talking about. It does not happen automatically. We must crucify the "self" daily.

The more I forgive the more peaceful I am, its hard not to feel offended when the person next to you lock trust , constantly lying twisting and everything it comes with it . I’ve been praying to God to transform me because I tried and tried not to feel offended it works at times I just want to not to be offended at all . Pastor Vlad help
Amen! Excellent teaching Pastor Vlad, definitely needed this word. Isaiah's stream last night was on a whole new level! Sorry I missed the partner's call, but I'm sure it was 🔥 ‼️ May God continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry abundantly! 🙌🏼✝️
This message has been a blessing to me. I love it because it has shown me that there is no reason to be offended and it comes i just fix my eyes to Jesus who is the author and perfecter of my faith.
THIS WAS WHAT I NEED TO HEAR TODAY I WAS LIED AGAINST AND ACCUSED AND VERBALLY ABUSED TWO DAYS AGO SO BAD 2 COWORKERS SAID LATER WHY DO YOU LET HIM TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT? Yesterday I called a manager who wasn't there then about something it was brought up and he said we are going to aget it all straightened out Monday so I got filled with fear and wanted to call in sick Monday and I can't afford to do that it would also be a lie and it would be worse Tuesday because my boss HATES when people don't come to work. This was NOT A COINCIDENCE I noticed this message now.I shared it to myself and will repeat it several times before going to work Monday. Thanks to God for equipping me with this.
My church offended me to the point they message me to stop listen to your ministry and others men of God..they input only to me their doctrine some against on what I learned on watching ur ministry..I prayed them to be set free in knowing the truth🔥☝💕
BAM! Right between the eyes! If you have a spirit of offense/bitterness, people will continually offend you. Then you almost expect it and want to be around people less and less. So you are effectively being thinned from the herd which is right where the adversary wants you. It's always about someone else, not me. And like the pastor said, the bottom line is dealing with the original hurt/offense in repentance and forgiveness and then the infilling and cleanseing of Mr. Holy Spirit. This is part of our daily working out of our salvation with fear and trembling before a Holy God. "Father, remove everything from me that is not like You!" AMEN
I'm not going to lie something happen today and was offended... My ego was hurt and wow this opened my eyes... Thank you for this video... I really want to be delivered from this....
Excellent teaching to overcome offensive situations. My unforgiveness attitude towards false accusations and rejection by people has made me bitter angry person. I need to deal with this problem.
Thank you Jesus. I really needed this lord. Help me through this father not to walk in offense but to realize it’s all in the cross i have to carry 😢.Strengthen me Father to walk in forgiveness and love. Amen 😊❤
I have realized that in recent years of what the enemy does in my life on getting offended. Praise God for helping me. I have not arrived however I am aware especially when I listen to the Holy Spirit guidance. Thank you for the teaching pastor Vlad.
Pastor Vlad asked that question and it hit my soul lol thank you!!! I’ve been praying to God about my pride and offense. He lead me here. Thank you, praise God ❤️
Man.. God is so good. I was scrolling through RU-vid asking Him to point me towards sth that would help with the offense/bitterness in my heart. And this video (WHICH IS A YEAR OLD NOW) pops up! God you are so kind.. paused and pondered and repented and surrendered through this whole video. Thank you pastor Vlad for surrendering to God, living in obedience to Him and following Him.
Thank you so much. I needed this. About 5 years ago. I found my self in a situation that I never wished to be in and I am still in that situation. Constantly I find my self easily offended by little things that people around me do to me. God help me .
Wow. God has recently made me aware of just how offended I am. I realized I pretty much live my life there. I believe God put this in my feed. So good and so spot on. I am going to listen again and again until I am free of this demonic stronghold. Thank you Pastor Vlad. Such a powerful teaching. 💜
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I have family issues. Thank you for explaining what offense is all about and how to deal with it Biblically. Bless you 🙏🏾💙😀
Thank you for sharing this word pastor vlad, I often feel so offended in my work and from others, thank you for shedding light on this, I've often been told I have thin skin lol but today I turn that around and let offense bounce off me and rebuke it in jesus name! Amen!
