S3:E36 - Offence is a trap you can't afford to fall into

And, uh, I'm going to go into like the backstory of this, but I was driving in my car, um, a couple of weeks ago, a week and a half ago.

And I was praying.

And I like, when I was leaving the house, I went to turn on music in the car and immediately got like, you know, the voice, that's not a voice, like God being like, no, no music.

And I was like, okay, no, that's cool.

We'll drive in silence.

Absolutely.

And then I, I started praying and I was just like breaking things off and like praying protection over my family.

And then I started to pray for this person.

And I started to go to war for them because it was like in that moment I remembered, for we do not fight against flesh and blood, but of the principalities of darkness.

And I could see what was working through this person.

I could see the darkness.

And I was like, this isn't even freaking them.

I am not fighting flesh and blood.

I am fighting what they have come into agreement with.

And my dad had mentioned this too, where it's like, there's one thing to carry an offense from somebody who is on the same playing field as you, from somebody who is a Christian, from somebody who, you know, stands on the same foundation of faith as you.

That's a different playing field than maybe cultivating a fence from somebody who hasn't found God yet.

They are playing by a completely different rule book.

They are playing by the world's rule book and they have completely different rules and tools.

that they use.

So things like anger and resentment and offense, all of these things, it's like, it's normal.

And we who stand on the foundation of faith, we have a different set of rules that we play by.

So I was driving and I remember this and I was like, Ashley, come on, like, wake up.

You are not fighting flesh and blood.

There is something at work there.

There is something.
