Simply put, the promises of God are not automatic; they must be acquired by faith.

Jesus never gave advice

Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated.

God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.

Our response to an offense determines our future.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

Godly fear, faith, and humility is the true threefold cord that can’t easily be broken (see Ecclesiastes 4:12).
