Dear Friend,
As the end of the age as we know it gets closer and closer, a stark warning to all believers is being shouted from the heavenlies. The truth is, many of us may not be as ready to meet the Lord in the air as we think we are. With an open heart please read the following message called "Get Over It." Do yourself a favor and read it before you go to bed tonight. You won't be sorry. God bless.
His servant. Your friend,
Randall J. Brewer
More than anybody Paul knew that the enemy of our faith walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. In his early travels he founded a series of churches in the Roman province of Galatia and a few years later he wrote them these special words, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!” (gal. 5:14,15).
The Message Bible says, “If you bite and ravage each other, watch out - in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?”
Many times Satan steals the Word from people and hinders the fulfillment of their call by getting them offended. No matter where you go there will always be people who will rub you the wrong way. Without even knowing why they’ll dislike you and begin to say things in an effort to destroy your character and rob you of the peace that is in your heart.
These people are nothing more than puppets on a string controlled by the devil himself as he attempts to destroy the mission for God that you are on. The spirit of offense is like a cancer that if not dealt with will destroy your calling and your very life. This is why Paul says “Beware, lest you be consumed by one another.” It’s a warning worth giving heed to.
Two thousand years ago when Jesus walked the earth He made it clear to His listeners that He would one day return again to the earth. This sparked the interest of all those who heard Him say this and one day He was asked, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matt. 24:3).
He was unable to answer the first question because only the Heavenly Father knows when the end will be (vs. 36) but He was able to make known to them the signs that would precede His glorious return to planet earth. He then spent nearly two chapters expounding on the answer to their second question. Natural calamities will occur and the actions of the godly and ungodly alike are recorded in great detail.
Any person who is even remotely aware of the conditions of the world around them will quickly come to the correct conclusion that all these predictions have been fulfilled and we are indeed living in the last days. Jesus can and will return any day now. As believers we must pay particularly close attention to what Jesus said in vs. 10-13 because it contains a warning to all those who claim to be children of God. What He says may shock you.
Matt. 24:10 reveals the stark reality of what will happen to many believers in the last days. Pray you are not one of them. “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
It is a stab in the heart to realize that these verses describe the actions of born-again believers and not the wicked sinners of the world. The office of prophet is a ministry given to the church. False prophets will not deceive non-saved sinners because they won’t be preaching to them.
Those who will be deceived are cold-hearted believers who are unable to tell the difference between right and wrong. Their sin will dull their spiritual senses and will take away their ability to hear from God. Truly there is a price to pay for sin, and dullness of hearing and a lack of discernment are two of them.
Notice also in verse 12 where it says, “the love of many will grow cold.” The word “love” in this verse is the Greek word ‘agape’ which is the God-kind of love. Only believers can have this kind of love and Jesus is saying that many people who are saved and born-again will have this God-given love turn cold within their hearts and as a result will begin to betray and hate one another.
It doesn’t say they’ll hate the unsaved sinners of the world but one another. Christians hating Christians! And what causes this love to grow cold? Lawlessness! Sin! The absence of holiness in the lives of wayward believers!
It is a shame to know that Christian divorces outnumber the divorces of the community of non-believers. Churches everywhere are grasping the idea that homosexuality is an acceptable behavior and some are electing openly gay clergymen to the highest offices in the organization. What must the Lord be thinking?
Churches are split nearly every day and each night many believers go to bed bitter and angry at their fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord. What caused these evil feelings to take root in these people? To answer that we must go back to the beginning of our scriptural context and see what Jesus said.
Matt. 24:10 begins by saying, “And many will be offended..” Notice it says that not a few will be offended but many! Believers being offended at one another is a sign that the end of the age is fast approaching.
The Amplified translation of vs. 10 gives an even more clear picture of the repulsive condition many members of the body of Christ are now in, “and will begin to distrust and desert Him (Whom they ought to trust and obey) and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.”
It is a sad commentary that sin in the church is even listed in this category of end-time events. For sure, the root of bitterness runs deep.
The word “offense” means ‘to create resentment, injustice, insult, to hurt the feelings of.’ If not dealt with, hurt feelings will grow to bitterness and hatred. In Greek the word means ‘to bait a trap, to ensnare.’ It’s that part of the trap where the bait is laid.
It pleases the flesh to lash out at others when one’s appetite for selfcentered-ness is not filled to full capacity by those around them. Getting offended is a bitter reaction to not getting one’s own way and only selfish and selfcentered people get offended. Sadly, these same people often turn to uncontrolled anger that causes them to do harm to the one whom they are offended at.
The Bible is filled from cover to cover with stories of people who got caught in the deadly trap of offense. In Gen. 4 Cain got offended when God rejected his offering and as a result rose up and murdered his brother Abel.
The sons of Jacob got offended when their younger brother Joseph told them about his God-given dream that foretold a day when they would all bow down before him. King Saul was jealous when more attention and praise was given to David and once offended tried on several occasions to murder the anointed heir to his throne.
In the New Testament Martha got offended because her younger sister Mary sat at the feet of Jesus instead of helping with the serving of the guests. And let’s not forget what some offended people did to the Lord Jesus Christ after He spent all His life doing nothing but good to those around Him.
The number of stories in the Bible about people getting offended are vast and informs the readers with certainty that offenses will come. Minute by minute they’ll come and every person on planet earth will be tempted with and will be given the opportunity to get offended at somebody. Listen to the stark warning Jesus gives in Luke 17:1, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come.”
The devil is a thief and he uses offenses to bait the children of God into a life of resentment, hatred, and ultimate destruction. The solution to this evil deception where one believes they have the right to be offended is found in the Lord’s prayer where Jesus taught us to pray these words, “And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” (Matt. 6:12).
What is forgiveness? It’s when you give up the right to have retribution made against the person who did you wrong. The devil will make you think the other person owes you something for having offended you but in truth it is you that owes them something. Forgiveness is a debt you owe and Rom. 13:8a says, “Owe no one anything except to love one another…”
When you forgive you are then free to be forgiven by God for those times when you have missed the mark and became an offense to somebody else. Forgiveness cancels the debt you owe and it also releases that other person from the debt you feel they owe you because you were offended by them.
Once forgiveness is made you must get over the hurt and pain you felt and quickly obey the words of Matt. 5:44, “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…”
On the cross Jesus set the example by asking the Father to forgive His tormentors and those who betrayed Him. Paul says we are to do the same thing when he writes in Eph. 4:31,32, “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
If believers would take heed to these very important words they can have full confidence they will not be one of those end-time saints whose love has turned cold. Has somebody offended you? If so, forgive that person, get over it, and then go out and show the love of God by doing something good for them. Remember, Jesus could return any moment now. The question is, “Are you ready?”
It cannot be emphasized enough. The answer to the spirit of offense is to get over the hurt and pain and to walk in the kind of love that only God can give. John, the “apostle of love,” tells us in 1 John 1:3, “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have ellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”
In Greek the word for “fellowship” is ‘koinonia’ and it is the highest degree of love two people can generate toward one another. It means “fellowship, partnership, social intercourse, companion, communion, partaker.” John later goes on to say, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (1 John 4:7,8).
The agape love of God is a fruit of the Spirit and is the most powerful, the most dynamic, and the most dominate force in the world. And why is that? Because as we have just seen, “God is love.” In simple terms, the love of God is the overwhelming desire to be a blessing to somebody else.
The Bible says that “faith without works is dead” and so it also is with love. The love of God will always manifest itself with actions that line up with the Word of God. Love gives for the purpose of blessing the recipient and Paul writes these encouraging words in 1 Cor. 16:14, “Let all that you do be done with love.”
We are commanded by God to love because people everywhere have a need to be loved and accepted. No amount of achievement can fulfill the need for acceptance. It is a void that only love can fill. Insecurity comes from a lack of one-on-one relationships and can cause people to try to do great accomplish-ments for the sole purpose of getting accepted by others.
As Christians we are “rooted and grounded in love” and because we have been “accepted in the Beloved” it has become our responsibility to share with others that God has accepted them as well. This will cause hearts to be filled with joy and it is only joyful believers who will be able to reach out and lead others to Christ.
When Christians having fellowship with one another are observed by non-believers, the love and joy they see being shared will like a magnet pull them into the body of Christ. This is why fellowship should be the utmost desire of every believer. We cannot demonstrate to the world the love of God without a loving relationship with one another. The best friends are the ones who love Jesus together and a church is only as strong as the relationship among its members.
It is common knowledge that good things don’t just happen to people. Life is what you make it and more times than not we are the ones who have to make good things happen. The same can be said about covenant relationships. Prov. 18:24 says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Take the first step and be willing to reach out and get personally involved with those you are in covenant with. Don’t sit around and wait for someone to come and offer you their hand in friendship because more times than not it won’t happen. You make the first move and begin by asking the Lord to place in your heart the name of a person who desperately needs a true friend in their life. For sure, there is at least one person out there who is urgently waiting to hear from you.
Jesus said in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” True friendships are rare because they often require sacrifices to be made. The covenant bonding of a God-centered friendship involves a willingness to conform and become what the other person in the relationship needs.
Love is not selfish and sooner or later it will become necessary for you to put the needs of your friend above your own. Prov. 17:17 says that “a friend loves at all times” and true friendships bring with it endurance and stability. You can always depend upon your friend and your friend can always depend upon you.
The best friends are the ones who stick by your side no matter what happens and is a person you can talk to about anything. A true friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Helping each other and being there for them is what covenant love and Godly relationships are all about.
Prov. 27:9 says, “Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man’s friend does so by hearty counsel.” One of the many reasons a person should daily study the Bible is so he will be able to give Godly advice to a friend in need. “The heart of the righteous studies how to answer” (Prov. 15:28) and Prov. 15:13 says, “And a word spoken in due season, how sweet it is!”
Words of advice from a true friend are pleasant because they are used to lift up and not tear down. A friend should always strive to promote and advance the life of the person he is in fellowship with. At the same time, love is also honest. When a friend sees something that needs to be corrected, he will reach out in love and give Godly counsel to his friend and encourage him as the correction is made.
The Bible says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Prov. 27:6). The Word also says in Prov. 28:23, “He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue.” Words spoken in love will never be mistaken for criticism.
A friend who speaks words of wisdom should also strive to perfect the art of listening. God created us with one mouth and two ears and oftentimes all a person needs is a friend who will listen to them express the needs and concerns of their heart. Psychiatrists earn hundreds of dollars an hour because several years of college has taught them that more can be accomplished by listening than through talking. How better off we’d be if each of us had a Godly friend who would be there for us during our time of need. It’d be a lot cheaper, too.
Finally, covenant relationships are continuous and should last a lifetime. Many people give roses when they want to make a friend but give thorns and briars afterward. They then wonder why the friendship failed. You get out of a friendship what you put into it and we must continue to treat people the way we treated them when we were first trying to gain their trust and confidence. For sure, Godly friendships are very rare indeed.
Some people will go through an entire life and never find a true friend. But don’t give up. A true friend is worth a lifetime of work. Friendships have to be born and nur-tured. They require time, effort, and a lot of sacrifice. And it all begins with you. Become a friend with somebody in need and see what happens. It has been said that there two types of people in the world: those who make deposits into your life and those who make withdrawals. What type of person do you want in your life? What type are you?
As the end of the age as we know it gets closer and closer, a stark warning to all believers is being shouted from the heavenlies. The truth is, many of us may not be as ready to meet the Lord in the air as we think we are. With an open heart please read the following message called "Get Over It."
