The Bait of Satan: How to Move On from Past Pain and Mistreatment [Full Sermon] - John Bevere

Are you compelled to tell your side of the story? Do you fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust? Are you constantly rehearsing past hurts? Have you lost hope because of what someone did to you?
In this message, I expose one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God-and that’s offense. This trap restrains countless Christians, severs relationships, and widens the gulfs between us. Jesus said, "It is impossible that no offenses should come” (Luke 17:1). Although you will encounter offense, you can choose how you will react.
Stay free from offense and its destructive power. Get the Bait of Satan book: store.messengerinternational....

    I read his book: "The Bait of Satan" at a pivotal time. I was able to forgive my ex-husband for his unfaithfulness in the marriage. We did not reconcile because he was pursuing someone else but I was able to walk in forgiveness which freed me up from that bondage!

    Me too! I have told him during my choice to divorce that I don’t hate him and I love him and always will. I prayed again tonight that I forgive him!! I feel like I have. I pray for my ex often bc I care about him. But I do know during the many years of trying to reconcile and rebuild trust, I was full of anger and unforgiveness. I just couldn’t rebuild with what I was receiving in return.

    Praise God. It's such a great relief 12:37 12:39 to be free from those type of needless burdens: such as me not forgiving someone who sinned against me, a friend, companion, neighbor, loved one, relative, or pet; and developing resentments, angry feelings of hatred, and potentially violent hatred towards some offender or suspect, some trespasser, or transgressor, causing me and others potential harm, pain, violence, and/or bloodshed. Thru His forgiveness of my sins against Him • I have discovered how to forgive others for their sins against myself and others. It's very liberating, very beneficial, these moral teachings from Jesus Christ to His Deciples!! The Golden Rule!!

    I forgave my abusive parents for 60 years. And when i got sick and needed them they slammed the door. I waited 60 years for them to love me. When I couldnt forgive this last time_ God showed me what hell is like_ and how satan eats your heart slowly _so blessed am I _ to have been given the Grace to forgive them _ one last time. The God of the Bible is my only Father.

They won't truly repent, they definitely aren't safe to be around, they can and will create endless chaos, damage and pain, sometimes even to sexually molesting, assaulting, or killing us or our children..... Still wanna get wrapped around an axle about maintaining a relationship?? Go peddle your papers somewhere else!! You are out of line. I

Living a double life I was absolutely unaware of. This horrific experience broke me and it was only then that I gave my life to Christ. God helped me to now forgive this man and it has changed my life. The thoughts consumed me and now I can pray for him. Thank you for this incredible message ❤️🙏

    I know what you're saying. My mother is no longer with us. 1 thing I never considered was how hurt she was, how much love she needed, and how I chose to ignore that and focus on her hurting me, which caused me to hurt her too. I was a horrible daughter. I could continue to blame her for how she was with me, but I rather take the blame now... May I suggest. If you have your mother still, please, love her. And that doesn't mean you submit to abuse. It just means, you let her know you love her. However that would look like for you and her. When she hurts you. Tell her, ouch, that hurt me. But I love you anyway and am more concerned with why you're choosing to hurt me.

    Jesus changed my life in a day. Divorced and then a day later tragedy struck and we repented and He put us back together, miraculously dissolving all the past hurt that for years I wasn't able to heal on my own that was slowly eating up the relationship. We are now happily living as a new creation. The old wounds are gone. Another miracle happened a month later, although we repented we were not fully committed to a Christian life so God sent a Pastor who asked to start a church on our property and now our entire family life has been reorganized into serving God, each other and the church. We were lost sheep and Jesus came looking for us. I pray miracles of healing will happen for all lost sheep who belong to the body of Christ.

    I have scrolled past this video for 2 months, although the title was intriguing, for some reason (my own pride) I never stopped to watch and listen to it. I knew deep down what it was going to be about and I knew that I was guilty of it. Tonight I stopped instead of scrolling, I stayed glued to every word Pastor John spoke as I cried. The conviction I was feeling was exactly what I needed to feel. I needed to let the unforgiveness in my heart go once and for all, it has had a hold on my life for almost 3 years and has kept me from enjoying everything in my life. I was filled with anger, bitterness and even hatred and it was destroying me as a person. I was becoming someone I didn’t even recognize and definitely someone I did not like at all. I raised my hands at the end, I stood up in my living room, and I said that prayer with tears streaming down my face, and I truly meant what I was saying. So now, I am free. God has delivered me from all of those horrible feelings and thoughts and he is right now filling the space in my heart where I kept that unforgiveness with love again, with positivity and with a new life, a happy life. Thank you pastor John, your teaching just brought me to a place where I was able to finally let the hurt go and where Jesus was able to forgive me the way I just forgave the people that hurt me 3 years ago. Your teaching just changed my life! Thank you

The only way to overcome come evil with doing good. Is it easy? No! I don’t know you but God does. Believe me I’d rather be the one who’s been offended than the OFFENDER. When we ask God to Bless that one who’s offended us, it releases HIM to deal with the offender. I hope I’m making sense to you. The end results is and GOD WILL HEAL YOUR BROKEN HEART. Keep going, keep pressing into to the Lord, HE’S got this. HE IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS AND KNOWS. God Bless you and wrap HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND HOLD YOU CLOSE TO HIS HEART.

Holy Spirit is teaching me how to forgive my abusers (foster care 5-18) He told me, if I didn't die for them, I didn't die for you either!

I lied to her and myself about me being good with their relationship, I wasn't and was holding deep resentment as well as unforgiveness and was gossiping. When I listened to the Word took it into my heart I was immediately convicted and wept bitterly. I truly thank GOD for HIS Patience and Kindness, not only was I able to forgive but also started praying for and blessing their relationship. The WORD of GOD is truly sharper than any double-edged sword and does reveal everything hidden.

    The Lord showed me that resentment is also unforgiveness. I always thought that vindictiveness was unforgiveness. God showed me that Resentment is. I realized what to call that feeling in my heart ... maybe somtimes it was accompanied but unforgiveness. I didn't brew in it. I tried to move forward with my life and I suppressed my resentment. I tried to put it behind me and I thought that was how to handle betrayal and grief. But I didn't realize I was creating a habit of carrying resentment because I thought I was putting it behind me. In reality I was holding it inside. I was exercising great self-control, but I wasn't correctly dealing with the offense. I wasn't releasing it in the spirit. I was trying to push past it.

I stopped talking to a lot of ppl because of the pain. I don’t worship like before and it’s difficult for me to tell ppl I love them like I did before. But I finally did. I texted and said I love you. Cuz God forgives me in every mess and I need to forgive so I can love and worship God like I use to❤️ thank you Pastor

    🙏✝️✝️🙏 If you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and invited him to come live in your heart, then you will have the Holy Spirit inside of you for the rest of your life. He will never leave you or forsake you even if you left him. Once you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be in Christ for all eternity. What happened that you feel that you lost the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? I'm praying for you sister. You remind me of me after I got saved and baptized. Satan was lying to me telling me that I wasn't really saved. But I was. And I still am and always will be. Father God, lifting up this child of God to you in prayer and I'm asking you to make yourself known and the truth of what it means to me eternally sealed with you for all eternity. Help this child to spiritually articulate this, in your name Jesus, Amen. 🙏✝️✝️🙏

    Our own expectation that others make us happy and fill our empty cup is the source of our being offended. So our wounds knock against others wounds (like rough stones in a rock tumbler) until we get it: that if we take our wounds to Christ for healing we ‘need’ no other to fulfill us. We will have great compassion for others without judgement because we’ve plugged in our value and identity into Christ alone.

    I had a dramatic encounter that turned me back to faith over 2 months ago; I was drunk or high every night and I was very High at the time. The Lord spoke to me; told me yes you have free will and yes there’s only one right answer (submission to God and acceptance of Jesus) and many other things; in this moment I misunderstood and from fear couldn’t fully submit as I thought God was literally going to take my human life where I laid (I realize how he was going to show me glory) so instead I didn’t submit; he showed me myself in my bondage; and visions of the only thing freeing my shackles being the living water rushing into my mouth as I worshipped/ praised and prayed to God. My initial takeaway was that … I’ve missed my chance: But that’s not the God we serve. He welcomes with open arms!! I dove in; reading my Bible; relaying that experience to my pastor. And since returning to faith; asking the Lord into my heart, and being baptized. However; I’ve stumbled to temptation a few times; and the times that involved getting high again I was gripped in a strong experience of God’s rebuke of my actions. However just like the first time; “i” misunderstood his rebuke: not really: the devil using my non sober state has tried to convince me; just like the first experience that I’ve screwed up, I’ve missed it. However knowing God better I know I can be forgiven; but… the master of lies had a game plan for that too; at one stumble I wouldn’t speak unless praying and felt I needed to pray without ceasing (in order to earn salvation) the Lord freed me through prayer leading to my baptism. However the message still hadn’t fully stuck within me; a couple nights ago I smoked and again was gripped with fear of judgement and inability to discern between the voice of the Lord and the voice of the liar; through prayer and reading the word I’ve figured out the deception; satan tried using verses of scripture and my thoughts about who God is in his justness trying to convince me first that the only way to earn my salvation was to forfeit my life, next he tried to tell me through following the Laws of Moses… these are all lies; I accept King Jesus’ sacrifice; I know that to attempt to earn salvation is to crucify the Lord again, I know that by the grace of God I am saved. “NOT BY WORKS THAT NOONE MAY BOAST” My story; hope it helps. We face an ongoing battle; but the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. He will not leave us nor forsake us; and he’s given us salvation through faith. Stay strong; run your race with endurance. Love God and Love Others

    Reconciliation is not returning to the past. It's saying something like, "You did wrong, but I did you wrong too." You probably hurt you first but hurt him too. Let me guess, as the years went on, he got worse, right? That means you were hurting him, too. When you forgive him, the Lord will heap coals upon his head to ask for forgiveness, maybe not immediately, but at some point, he may seek to ask for forgiveness.

Have a life away from this man. I'm not telling you not to forgive him, but I am telling you to protect yourself and get away from him. Part of the reason you're staying is because of the rejection you experienced from your own mother. You can forgive her, but that doesn't mean that she is ever going to love you or treat you right. You love at a distance in such cases. You can pray for them, you can ask God to save them, but you don't have to just wallow in their abuse

    Wolves in sheep’s clothing occupy many pulpits. I am the wife of a very Christ-like worship pastor, and we’ve been in ministry for 3 decades. We have seen several very narcissistic pastors (wolves in sheep’s clothing) spiritually abuse people in the church. These pastors “have the pulpit” and sometimes this power goes to their head. Beware of any preacher or pastor that twist the Holy scriptures from the pulpit and in private to manipulate believers from holding spiritual abusers accountable for their abusive behavior. . Narcissistic pastors don’t want anyone to hold them to account for their spiritual abuse. And if you try to hold them to account, they will “flip it” and accuse you of being easily offended. Then the narcissistic pastor has just “changed the subject” and made you the problem for holding him to account regarding his sin against you. I have seen several pastors do this “tactic “ to members of their congregation and even their own staff or other leaders in the church. You can always tell a narcissistic pastor by how he mocks Christians.

    Such an excellent message! We are ALWAYS called to forgive, even someone who tried to take our life or took the life of a loved one, it sets US free, thinking of the loving heart and forgiveness of our beautiful Savior and reflecting on own sins will help you to let go of what they did. Unfortunately satan is causing division like never before with even small things between brothers and sisters in the body. We HAVE to recognize the poison! There are times when God will close the door on narcissistic friends/family as they will be used by the enemy to block your destiny by preventing healing and the continued wounding can cause a bitter root to form. God will protect His children by removing them. But yes, weep and pray for them with all your heart and your Heavenly Father will reward you and go to work in their lives. God told me, we are good to our enemies, NOT because of who THEY are, but because of who GOD is. ❤ The more we pray and bless those who come against us, the less satan will send, because he only uses tools that are effective, knowing we are just going to pray for them and he might lose them from his camp when prayer puts God's attention on them.

    Let's take a closer look at the scriptures. Matthew 24:9-12 the offense came through seeing those afflicted, killed, and hated. Similar to Matthew 13:21 "yet, he hath no root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended". Matthew 24:11 the false prophets rise and deceive many. Matthew 24:12 iniquity (injustice, unfairness) abounds, causing the Agape love to grow cold. Yes, because injustice/unfairness is to be thoroughly dealt with w/in the church. And, because it is not -- the love we should have for one another grows cold. 11:33 no, we are to have expectations of each other or else Matthew 7:12 makes no sense (along with all the other "one another" passages). Luke:12:48 "...for unto whom much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more". So, yes, the church expects much more of their pastor because he has been given much as the steward of them (Luke 12:42-48). James 3:1-18 "my brethren, be not many masters, KNOWING that we shall receive the GREATER CONDEMNATION. For in many things WE OFFEND ALL. If any man offend NOT in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body". This entire chapter is about those who are quick to take up the position of being a teacher of others, and the grave requirements of one in such a position. THEY are not to offend anyone -- the onus is upon THEM not to offend, not on the ones who are offended. 12:11 we are not the measuring stick of someone's hurt. If that person says I hurt them, then I believe them. Matthew 5:23 "...thy brother have ought against thee..." Ought: 1. correctness or duty; often when criticizing the actions of another. 2. something that is probable. So, if your brother has a probable criticism against you -- go to that brother and make things right between you and him. Nowhere does it say we are to decide whether or not that brother's criticism is valid. It is exactly on this point -- scrutinizing the validity of the hurts of others -- why so many wounds within the church are not being cared for/looked after!! THIS very reason is why so many are leaving the church. Christians shoot their wounded. 34:44 Second Timothy 2:24-26 these were snared by the devil and taken captive BY him AT his will (meaning: the devil was able to take them captive; not that he took them captive to do his will). They were ensnared because they were caught up in "profane and vain babblings" verse 16, and "foolish and unlearned questions" verse 23. So, (verse 25) Timothy was to instruct these ones who were caught up in this argument about the resurrection being past (verse 18), in the hope that they would repent of their error and acknowledge the truth (about the resurrection). So that, verse 26, they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare of ignorance and foolish arguments. Luke 17:1-2 "it is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea, than that he were to offend one of these little ones". The emphasis in this verse is upon the one who GIVES offense ("woe unto him through whom offense comes") not upon the one who TAKES offense. Telling someone to not be offended or "take offense" is just an excuse for not taking responsibility for your words or actions! It's a cop-out; and a very manipulative and cruel one at that.

    I got stuck on what I thought was an offense. This "offense" would be triggered every now and then and I would get on my face and repent of holding onto this offense. One day I asked Jesus "why have I not got peace over this? I want to forgive and let go, why does the anger still get triggered"? Holy Spirit said to me at the same time he gave me a vision of my children and I standing together; he said "you need to call it what it was polly, it was spiritual abuse". Over the next few weeks a whole blueprint of trauma set by the abuse came off my life. I had never heard of spiritual abuse before. The spirit behind spiritual abuse is spiritual/religious pride and it is resides in the church. When I saw it for what it was I was able to let it go and pray accordingly... If offence is the bait, trauma is snare...(the entrapment)

    Spiritual abuse can also be hypocrisy, and/or living a double life. Like, portraying a Christian, but secretly living in willful, unrepentant sin.

    Spiritual ab use is when one thinks and acts as if they can do whatever they want to themselves or others . Better to treat others as you would like to be treated . No excuse. God will Judge I will stay close to my Father who loves me. I do not care what they think. I will listen to my Dad! Mom said " never mind what the bullies say. Say your prayers. May God have mercy on all especially those most in need of it. pray

    On Wednesday I got stolen all my money from my roommate. She knows I'm a single mother and that Ive been having a hard time in Italy as a foreigner too... I was ready to hurt her, nos physically, but to put in all the fb groups what she did so she couldn't find a place to live or a job... This preaching was for me. I was getting sick physically because of the anger and hurt I had in me, I decided to let it go and let God... I continue to have bad thoughts because of what she did and immediately I have to stop those thoughts and pray to God to bring me peace and provide, to save her and hopefully make her repent and help other people with even the double she stole from me.

    In 2001 your book open my eyes to see that the hurt in my life was actually anger, bitterness and unforgiveness. I never saw it before. It was one word in your book you repeated over and over- offended. I had to look it up in the dictionary..Hurt. Has anyone ' hurt' you? As I searched my heart with the help of the Holy Spirit I found so many! Before this I was sure I had nothing in my life I needed to work on. When I admitted Yes all these people hurt me, it turned into anger and then unforgiveness! God used your book, and one word, to open my eyes to expose all the unforgiveness I had. It took a while but I did it. I was free.😊 I still have your book and recommend it to people!

    ​@@marsharasberry8198I listened to this Sermon again.... Post Bone Marrow Biopsy August 1; Results show I have Acute Myeloid Leukemia 😢or "AML" 😓... I was shocked 😮... my Soñ (he's 37; I'm 57; says I brought this on myself because I smoke cigarettes; he does, as well🤔he's my only Son.... he was awful to me in our conversation; he says the cigarettes have a chemical in them called Benzine... We have zero Leukemia in our family.... I was also serving at my mega church for 3 years on the online campus & in person; 2 older ladies I served with, prayed for my death(got diagnosed with AML after that😮).... tried to pray me out of our church 😮.. and one of the gals lives in same building that I live in; I've never done a thing to either of them... I know, it's because I serve God, was gifted a Nissan Sentra from my church for Christmas last year... the gal that lives in my building got very jealous and began vandalizing my car to where I had to buy a security camera for my apartment and the front parking lot, where my car sits; she involved a new guy tenant who is I've caught on surveillance, messing with my car... This man is "on the run" LEGALLY and is dangerous; the manager protects him for some reason; ... lots of heavy drama and my health isn't up to it & I get no support except being TOLD what to do and that everything is my fault; I understand how Jesus felt 😥✝️persecuted.... I've decided to Walk this Leukemia out by myself.. just me and God. He can have me. I won't die in a facility with strangers; I'd rather be in my home around my things, for comfort... Please pray for me to be strong 🙏🙏🙏 sorry such a loñg comment 🕊️💞.... thank you for your prayers, in Jesus Holy Name. 🖐️✝️Amen

This wall is broken now! I am free! May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with me......forever and forever! No one has to pay me back anything, my sins are been paid in full through the blood of my Lord! I forgive and with my comforter's help I will now start to love them..

    God does not want us to be in abusive relationships. He loves us. Please believe that He wants us to be happy, have peace and joy on earth. Forgive and pray for them. Reconciliation only if they chose to be changed by God. This is for husbands and wives. Dont let them abuse you over and over and over. Love yourself love God love people but do not live with an abuser. Satan is using them to hurt you over n over n over. It's not the way God intended for you to live stay away n be protected by God Almighty 🙏

    I have been attacked by pastors in the pulpit. Attacked is different then being offended. I explained to the congregation about angels and how they have their power and once God gives the angels power it can’t be taken away. When Satan was cast to the earth, he still has his powers. One of then was, Satan can cause whirlwind like tornadoes. Satan created a whirlwind and took jobs children. The pastor denounced it at the pulpit and ran at me after the service. During the yelling at me outside he also said this will not be a prophetic church and Jesus doesn’t deal in politics and neither will this church. I am like wow! I forgive him and he needs a lot to learn!

    This is how I was taught in AA to pray for others I resented, it sucks, and you never want to start doing it, but I heard it described as holding your cold heart up to Gods love and light and melting all the ice away through praying for others, you eventually change, not the other person. Its not to say be a pushover and a doormat to toxic people, that’s also very unhealthy, it’s to free yourself, usually hurt people hurt people, this fixes that cycle. In the case of you hurting others by not dealing with your own hurt.
