Letting Go of Offenses - Brant Hansen

[@sharonhaynes5113]

I've heard Brant numerous times on the radio program. He's straight forward, brilliant, articulate and very humorous. I'm honored to have seen this interview...I needed this timely message.

[@sonchie68]

Sending this to my daughter. She knows I grew up in a very abusive home and she has more anger toward my guardians than I do. My point to her is that me being angry only hurts me and prevents me from living a peaceful life. Forgiveness had freed me! Why would I want to let my abuser continue to abuse me now? Great great topic.

[@sharonkuehnel5453]

This is so good. So practical. Remembering we are all broken is so vital. Thank you!!

[@johntatum1951]

We are all not broken...some of us are well and forgiven and we know it.

[@melaniexoxo]

If we aren’t broken the Lord uses circumstances to break our pride so He can use us. It’s kinda how we become “unoffendable”

[@yorosandrine2844]

Jim Daily my family and I love your voice!!!

[@vintagegirl68]

When anger comes I say, "I recognized, repent and renounce for embracing the spirit of anger. I break the assignment bondage and power that anger has had over me in Jesus' name. I ask for forgiveness now and tell it to go out of the mind, will and emotion. Out of my body, out of every cell." I then let it all go. Then I ask "come Holy Spirit into every place that the enemy has left, fill me in Jesus' name"

[@adisars7126]

Amen

[@anyhootyepo654]

Wow! Didn't expect this, I am blessed to gave stumbled upon this interview with Brant! I wish I had seen this yesterday. Thank you Lord!

[@AlexBobalexRavenclaw]

Currently struggling with something similar to Brant’s parents’ relationship. Thank you for words of wisdom as I process towards forgiveness.

[@angelitaabieraputz506]

This is soo needful. I always need it. Thank You Jesus!

[@beverlypasco262]

This conversation is so needed. I am working with the Lord towards progress not perfection towards not being easily offended. I cannot do this with out the Prince of Peace.

Brant is so wise. Thanks Brant for allowing God to change you and use you! Love your ministries!

[@romanapintek3596]

Thank you Jim and focus on the family team, you are amazing, thank you for serving the Lord!

[@mikedginter]

This is so convicting! Thankful for this!

[@theynot4u]

I've listened to this THREE times! I get more out of it each time. So much to learn here from an angle I've never considered.

[@stephencooke4973]

Excellent message Brant.

[@michaelrhoades9422]

God has extended me so much grace

[@shakyslim]

Wow, so timely for me in a present situation that I find myself in!

[@kwall1464]

Love Brant and Sherri!!!

[@leedebarros7434]

I needed that. Thank you Lord

[@johntatum1951]

I think it is kind to confront people with the truth.

[@Guess_Who-g7b]

I’m so skeptical it led me right back to Jesus 👍🏻

[@KathyBGood]

thank you for this video, you all were very helpful.

[@graysonmacarthur7769]

very powerful has changed my mind

[@vynedvyne59]

Fantastically authentic

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

It’s because we’re sinners. We live in a world where without Jesus there is no peace. I’m sure if we never showed anger then we must be holding it in. That’s the worse.

[@melaniexoxo]

I was using ad blocker on KZbin for a long time. A coworker gave me this app that would give you KZbin premium for free. I had to repent and now I pay for premium. It sounds trivial and people may laugh but it’s a horrible witness.

[@Ezekiel336-16]

Anger us not our enemy because it is an emotional tool that the Lord has given us upon creation to let us detect injustice around and within us. That is why we are told to get angry without sinning and to not let the sun go down (let the light leave) our anger. In addition, Jesus Himself got angry so we need to be able to differentiate, and train ourselves to identify (and alter as needed), between good and bad anger. Anger is not the problem, how we use it with the Lord either is or isn't! It is also somewhat disrespectful/immature and irresponsible, depending on what is in question at any given time, to simply permit and tolerate irritating behavior without working to check and/or challenge it for the purpose of correction. Doing so can be akin to affirming someone in their sins and allowing them to believe that they, along with Christ, have no power to change or improve. That is completely untrue, because Jesus is the Lord of change (hearts and minds), and if we are complacent in irritating others, or allowing them to do so needlessly, then we should take a serious look at that with the Lord (i.e. examine our conscience). In Christ, Andrew

[@susannahwhite7561]

True, but the Holy Spirit is the best surgeon. We fumble too often. There's not enough love, real love in this world for one another.

[@melaniexoxo]

Maybe when you’re irritated you’re the one being corrected.

[@Ezekiel336-16]

@@melaniexoxo So based on what I said three years ago, you're suggesting that I get irritated when being corrected (even though I said we need to correct irritating behavior rather than ignoring it)?

[@Chai0788]

How do I forgive someone that took advantage of the fact I’m a Christian and kept asking for my forgiveness but kept hurting me? I want to forgive and I don’t want to be bitter but it always conflicted me.

[@marygarrett9724]

To forgive does not mean you keep taking it.

[@mejusthot]

It helps me to pray what Jesus prayed Lord forgive them for they know not what they do 💛

[@darlenemcintyre9998]

I am at a loss sometimes at they way christians treat each other. It causes me to avoid connection with others.

[@CathyScott1030]

Where I work there are maybe you 50 of us in the store at a time. The three shifts sometimes overlap, and the actions, or lack of actions, effect the others. There are several of us that call ourselves Christians. It has been interesting, embarrassing and enlightening to see our character flaws. Through fours years of this there have been many opportunities to learn, grow and forgive. I hope I learn what God wants me to. ✌️

[@melaniexoxo]

Same here Darlene. It’s shocking how quick to be offended and outraged most Christians are. So little fellowship

[@darlenemcintyre9998]

@@melaniexoxo I'm not sure if that was meant to encourage or if you were trying to be ironic. I did not mean that I am offended more sad and not wanting to be a part of it.

[@AmiraSmyrna]

Ping pong at church 😄 seriously funny!!!

[@Gg-rssystG8]

I want so to forgive & be forgiven. if Disappoint I know there's gonna be a departure I feel so squirly I want to end it before it starts.hate being disappoint.

[@TheTintinramos]

Great! Learned alot

[@sonnyh9774]

The Bible says be angry and sin not, so you can have righteous anger. If we get angry when God is offended, it's righteous like David was angry when Goliath cursed God. When personal offense is mixed with an offense to God then the anger is tainted and we should not let the sun go down on the anger. The anger generates power and we should direct the energy to solving the problem and resolving the conflict.

[@joym3775]

you need to read his book. Unoffendable.

[@mt5472]

This is really good. The only question I have is if we have put our trust in Jesus and have received Him as Savior and Lord, are we still sinners? That’s hard to reconcile.

[@sheilatt9589]

We are born into sin. Unfortunately we are all sinners not necessarily because of what we've done but because of who we are. Even if we have done our very best, we fall short. We can't help it. We needed a savior. It is by grace and not by works.

[@brownrhythms]

Still sinners. The law of sin remains in us until we die. You can look at Romans 7-8.

[@Andfollowlove]

Start at Galatians 2:20 and trust the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you to the truth for your question. Listen to His voice!

[@melaniexoxo]

Yes still sinners but covered in Christ. We will not be perfected till heaven.

[@vernaharris4700]

Our purpse... Romans 8:29

[@Andfollowlove]

I agree Brant's wisdom about anger and Letting go of offenses is spot on, but his perspective of our identity (as Christian) is questionable, "I know who I am and we kid ourselves if we think we're not bad." Brant Hansen is not bad, he may miss the mark (sin)but when Brant sinned the Lord is able to see Him apart from His sin. God sees all who are His this way righteous and holy, and separates us from the sin. To be even clearer not by our merit but by Christ merit. "We got to let this go (righteous anger)" I agree with Brant, but that power Brant speaks of is truly God's grace and mercy and when drawn to Christ through relationship,God grants His children His power to see sin apart from the person. God hates sin but loves the person. I believe I am God's child, however if I yield to sin (my choice) because of my flesh or law, I fall short, I may even at time ignorantly and willing rebel. But God and because of His grace has made a way for me to be drawn back to Him. A new prayer I asked the Lord, is to convict me when I've sinned against Him and Holy spirit lead me so that I may repent immediately. The Big picture is our sin is towards God (spiritually first)then towards others (physically second). John Fuller, remember offenses is the bait of Satan. God is the only one who can forgive. When we submit to God first, and truly surrender to God first, He will do the rest for us . Mr. Fuller, the Holy Spirit will always instruct us on what to do and what to say, if we're yielding to the Lord and willing to listen. All offenses expose the condition of our hearts. He is exposing the unseen impurities that He wants us to surrender to Him. I believe the Lord is asking us all to give it to Him and He will do the rest. All we must do is be willing to trust and obey. Be Blessed.

nice interview. ended too quick.

[@harrietweber2520]

Am listening but surprised that neither, so far, here nor the other Hansen interview has 'PRIDE' been mentioned.

[@melaniexoxo]

Agree. Pride is an offense.

[@angelineadams3824]

Absolutely!
