Shalom!
“Time of Testing – Take No Offense – Live in Forgiveness” is #77.0 under the Mikvah of Set-Apartness.
During the 6:00 AM Prayer Call/Conference Call, this morning, Pastor McQueen spoke about not taking offense, and my son, Derek, spoke about preparation for Yom Kippur. He’s been teaching on the Fall Festivals.
Our pastor and a few others from the Prayer Center went to the big prayer rally over this weekend in Dallas. Pastor Dana Coverstone was there, and they met him and talked with him. Pastor McQueen had a prophetic word for him, which he received, and talked to her about.
In this article, I share some of the truths brought out in the prayer call this morning regarding not taking offense in these last days of great offense. Pastor McQueen is the “Intercessor General” over a very large denomination of believers with over a million members as well as an international conference speaker.
She can go into a place with hundreds of others, led by the Spirit, not knowing anyone except the 2-3 with her. She can be quiet and try to hide in the crowd. Such is what began this weekend in Dallas. But, before long, people are drawn to her and amazingly enough, she ends up on stage preaching and/or praying with a microphone, receiving the favor of the people. It happened in a strange way this weekend. The result was her message to us this morning about not taking offense.
The rules of the conference were so stringent, and so specific, like no one was to be “offended” by “speaking in tongues,” or by praying for anyone else. Well, pastor went to grab the microphone as she is so used to doing yesterday, for she was asked to pray. However, that was against the rules. The gruff overseer of the rules, came up while she was praying and literally grabbed the microphone out of her hands and stuck it back in its holder on the podium saying, “it is against the rules to touch the microphone.” Covid germs might spread or something.
She did not take offense but kept praying. However, many in the audience took offense at him, to the point where whole delegations were going to leave the conference. She was able to calm that down, but many were offended that he did that. Yes, if was a mean thing to do, the way he did it. Yet, she went on in the anointing to pray. This morning, she spoke on how imperative it is that we do not take offense. Messiah did not take offense on the cross at the mocking of the Pharisees. He said “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
It’s our life now and forever that is at stake here. No matter what someone else does, we have our eternal life to prepare for. We have the eternal lives of others to consider. I pass on to you some of these things in this article.
Blessings, Yedidah
