Jesus taught His disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come..." (Luke 17:1). The question is not, "Will you encounter the bait of Satan?" Rather it is, "How will you respond at its invitation?"
Ask yourself these questions:
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 else did to you?
The Bait of Satan is a seminar geared to expose one of Satan's most deceptive snares to get believers out of the will of God- offense. Nevertheless, many who are ensnared by offense do not properly discern their heart's position. Don't be fooled! Every believer will encounter offense, and it is our responsibility as to how it will affect our relationship with God. Our responsiveness to His grace determines our future maturity in receiving His love.
The Bait of Satan Course has been designed by John Bevere's Messenger International to help Churches, small groups, and individuals understand what the Bible says about dealing with our locked hearts in the enemy's deadly trap. This HOP-Hattiesburg seminar is a DVD-based curriculum for small groups and is accompanied by Bevere's book The Bait of Satan. The revised edition features updated anecdotal stories, testimonies, and an extensive study guide with interactive tools. By the truths proclaimed in this seminar, you will be given Biblical empowerment to escape the victim mentality and to live free in Jesus Christ.
