I don’t think we realize how offended we really are 💔and how, when it goes undealt with, offense starts making decisions for us and convincing us they’re right…even when God never said it.
❤️🩹 Launching a ministry to prove you were overlooked.
❤️🩹 Hosting worship, prayer, and prophecy nights
but to show your anointed.
❤️🩹 Building platforms because you felt silenced.
❤️🩹 Doing your own thing because correction felt like rejection.
❤️🩹 Starting a church not because God spoke, but because you were wounded where you last served.
The truth is, there’s unresolved pain. And the pain part doesn’t make you a bad Christian..it makes you human. That part is okay. God can heal that.
But the unresolved part? That’s what God is after.
Because that’s the part affecting your next. Your next decision. Your next move. Your next yes.
And until it’s acknowledged, it will keep influencing what you call being obedient to God. Before you call it God. Check the heart.
Because here’s a very very hard truth… offense is strong enough to start something but never strong enough to keep it alive.
I made a declaration over the gifted this morning! I said,“Whatever we do in 2026 will be because God graced us not because offense pressured us!” 🙌🏾 -Alrecus Ford
