Many have lifted the voice of accusation and shaken their fist at God because of offence. Satanic forces having marshaled together against unwitting people for the sole purpose of destroying them. Marshaled; means to gather and organize troops: to gather troops together and organize them, or gather together and organize, before embarking on a military campaign or expedition
Being offended at God is an open door and fertile ground for deception. Jesus said those who have heard the word and immediately receive it with joy are stony hearted and shallow in their convictions. Their reaction towards persecution and tribulation will show the condition of their heart. When it comes they are immediately offended and turn on God. Swinging open wide the door of their heart and start trusting in something else. Because the way this word offended is used means; To begin to distrust and desert the one whom he ought to trust and obey. An offended heart towards God begins the quest for something or someone else to put their trust in, always resulting in trouble. Consider the times we have been put out with someone and turned on them. It’s like things went from bad to worse because of the actions we take in our attempts to deal with it. As long as the offense remains there will always be a deep inward struggle towards that person. An offended heart finds it impossible to think good about the one in whom they are offended. We must guard our heart against offence and never blame God for the troubles we encounter.
