Here is some good news: GOD DESIRES FOR YOU TO LIVE A BLESSED, HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, HEALTHY LIFE! Some are thinking,” Well that’s great. If that’s His desire, then that’s exactly what will happen. Unfortunately there is an enemy whose plans for you are exactly the opposite. Jesus explained this in John 10:10. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Every day we face choices that determine who we follow and which direction our lives will go. One place the enemy often wins the battle is in the area of offenses. We live in a time when it seems that almost everyone is offended about something. Opportunities for offense are constantly fed by 24 hour a day news and by angry voices on social media. In scripture, offenses are revealed as something that will block God’s blessing. Jim Howard is known as “a how to do it teacher”. In this book he shares principles and tools which will help you understand the high cost of offenses and you can learn to say “no” to offense and “yes” to blessings. You will learn that “If You Don’t Get Offended You’ll Get Blessed”.
