The Word of God, The Holy Bible, The Scripture, is my core, my identity, my wellspring of Life.
It is truly Living Water. Like water in the natural...it can simultaneously minister to both the inside and outside of our beings.
There has been a campaign in our institutions...to undermine, to tear down, to irradicate, to annul, to censor and to create a spirit of offence against The Word of God.
Jesus, Himself, stated that His message (of The Cross), which is the central message of The Word, would generate offence. He addressed this in His very first message in His home town (Luke 4). What is the real source of this offense?
The Word is the conduit for releasing Living Water. It's written form can seem as hard and edgy as a block of ice but hidden within that stationary form is the flow of immense treasure & healing, revelatory power.
Hidden within, is the quenching of deep thirst for goodness, kindness and deep satisfaction for man's inner being. There is a reuniting with our Creator and His Creation.
Just as water flows through both the heavens & the earth 🌎 there is a message of renewal, transformation & Reformation in the (hidden) Living Water (within the Bible)...
the ice melting under His sweet light filled gaze. If you would look upon Him in the reading.
The Word is my personal, individual core, my identity, my wellspring, my vast treasure of wisdom & life.
Offense keeps individuals from finding, recovering & enjoying such treasure.
Many experiences in our lives expose us to offense but often we transfer this offense to God who is not really the source.
HE is good & kind in His dealings with mankind. Always harmless in His outreach..
There is NO FAMILY, ORGANIZATION, METHOD, WORLD VIEW, NOR INSTITUTION in which you won't find hypocrites and offence. Hypocrites are simply people or movements who cannot 100% perform what they espouse. So, then we turn to control or manipulation. We all fit in that category, no exceptions. "All have sinned and fqll short of His glory".
Hypocrisy is simply the condition of the whole of humanity. All these groups or individuals judge others unrighteously & without true equity. Judgie, judging people, unfair judges are everywhere.
So this is an empty excuse for explaining this strong hold called "the spirit of offence."
My friend Joan once said, "Jesus was The Word made flesh but we, Christians, are flesh being made The Word." But that happens through relationship not rules.
My identity is in Christ who is The Living Word of Life. He is the fulfillment of scripture & His judgments are made purely from a place of perfect love and kindness.
Recently a family member suggested I write my story down but don't include any scripture. This person said the reader would just say, "f-this" and not read my story.
I was shocked & very, deeply hurt. I also knew I was being backed up to the edge of a relational cliff. That spirit of censor, cancel culture & offence has filled our atmosphere. It is deliberate & with a sinister purpose...to divide. It is an anti-Christ spirit.
The scripture is central to my story! It would be impossible (and a lie) to explain & record my life story without scripture.
When Jesus announced to His home town...that He had "come to set the captive free, to give sight to the blind and heal the sick" (quoting from Isaiah 61)...His own people attempted to throw Him over a cliff. These were the people in His synagogue. His neighbors, his own Rabbi & friends & cousins. They were super offended with Him to the point of murder and uncloaked hatred. Does that sound rational?
He had never done anything wrong or unkind to them. Here He was announcing that grace & kindness was on its way from heaven and they were OFFENDED. Why?
Offense creates spiritual blindness. Jesus, was blamed as the source of their offence. Was He the source?
These people who are offended with The Bible and Christianity need to take a closer look at the source of this deep darkness...this veil over their souls.. called "offense".
A SPIRIT OF OFFENSE...without any legitimate reason or source. You don't stop drinking water altogether just because one polluted source gave you a belly-ache. All of us need water-H2O. You just keep looking for the pure source because man must have water to live. Jesus released Living Water 💧 by taking deception, lies, error, death & evil into Himself on the cross. He is the key to melting the seemingly sharp, edgy, icy Holy Bible. He made The Way for you to be reconciled.
Offence suppresses the true & healthy thirst so people drink from other sources like man made drinks...coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, alcohol, fruit juice, milk....all sources which have some H2O but it's minimal.
Just an example in the natural to show the same effect in the supernatural. Water is what we all need but not polluted water. If we are dehydrated enough...mankind will try to drink anything. Jesus understood this & has compassion for our misdirection.
These offended ones need to take a closer look at the campaign and indoctrination of an anti Christ agenda. Its been working over time in this nation. In our schools, politics, media and market places. And yes, the silly religious institutions bought into this and made our desperation & thirst worse.
All 7 mountains of society have been censoring the truth and propagating, non stop lies. And the places which should have been dispensing clear, fresh water, were polluting it, as well.
Go to the source. You can. JESUS, YESHUA, MESSIAH released pure Living Water which is THE HOLY SPIRIT OF OUR CREATOR. The Bible can only be unveiled through Holy Spirit. Intellect or religion is just like drinking coke to get your fresh pure water. Not good.
So,.. censor has been at work in all our institutions. Both clergy & media have served up polluted water.
Thank goodness...the censor....
Ship is about to sink.
An awakening is on its way. Creator is about to unveil His glory...and His goodness & pure lovingkindness.
Please take inventory as to the real true source of this vicious and visceral reaction to the message of JESUS, The Word and THE CROSS.

Postscript: by the way an anti-christ spirit is simply a lying spirit which an individual believes & receives in place of believing the Gospel. There are 5 mentions of these diabolical spirits in John's letters to the church. 1 John 2:18,22, 4:3, 2 John 2:18 & spirits (plural) 1 John 2:18. These are people who have been amidst believers but have departed because they believe a lying spirit rather than the Holy Spirit's witness of Christ.
