Are you living an “offended” life? (2)
Copyright 2016 Theresa Harvard Johnson
The offended life is a “life lived” in deep rooted, seeping unforgiveness, bitterness and anger due to an actual or perceived offense. In the heart of a person living in this place, paranoia and suspicion has become their confidant, their trusted friend. There is always a “they, them, him and those” behind everything that goes wrong in their lives; and an accusatory posture that causes them to see life through extremely clouded, foggy lenses.
Their offense is directed at people, institutions and even an unhealthy fixation on the devil. “They, them, him and those” are always to blame for what is wrong in their world and in their lives. Not only are the people suffering in their hearts and minds, but those who LOVE them become casualties of their “offended lifestyles.” It causes loss friendships (many of which may be God ordained), false accusation and constant misunderstandings. The offended one quickly becomes a person others “walk on egg-shells” around – never knowing what step might unleash odd isolating behaviors, paranoia, anger or even rage.

Read the prophecy, “Leaving the offended life.”
Leaving the Offended Life
Today is the day to walk away from the “offended life,” says the Lord. No longer will your heart count every single ought committed against you. I am opening your mind to the reality of my ultimate truth: My son’s sacrifice was enough. As you acknowledge your current state and release this burden to me,…
10 Signs You Might Be Ashamed of Christ (2)
Copyright 2016 Theresa Harvard Johnson
The term ashamed as we are using it in this discussion means to be humiliated by or embarrassed by someone’s actions, characteristics or associations.[1] As it relates to our faith, we can describe this as being humiliated or embarrassed by the words, works and worship of God – especially when embraced from a pure place. It is also the hesitancy or the reluctance to “act on God’s behalf” because of the fear of man, the fear of embarrassment, the fear of loss status or the fear of shunning due to affiliation. In this context, shame has the characteristics of being “lukewarm” for the message of Christ (Rev. 3:16), and failing to have deep roots in the Gospel message (Hebrews 12:15).
