Have you ever been accused of something by a judge and jury of your peers who accepted as absolute truth the accusations made against you without allowing you to state your case? These situations are made worse when such evidence is given traction by the repetition of unrestrained gossip that turns a premature judgment into a statement of fact.  

A trial without both parties being fully and fairly represented is not an unbiased search for truth, it is a misuse of power and a dishonoring display of fear and control. It is especially painful when such incidents move from a personal issue between two individuals to become a church or an organizational response that attempts to protect its interests, either financially or in an attempt to protect its public image. A departure from a Spirit-led resolution is further accelerated when instructions offered by legal counsel create public talking points to protect the legal vulnerabilities of a corporation.

In the coming days, a turnaround will take place for those of you who have not been allowed to state your case and have lived under a cloud of accusation. The wind of truth will soon arrive to blow away those clouds.

Once a full disclosure of fact is made public some of the people who believed the biased evidence formed against you will see the error of their ways. They will come to you and ask for your forgiveness. Start now to forgive those offenders and bless them. That was an instruction given by Jesus that helps us heal and move forward not parking in a place of bitterness, hopelessness, and despair. The people who failed to honor you are not your enemy.

As hard as choosing to bless an enemy feels, it is the one thing that will put a nail in the coffin of Satan’s plan to divide the Church. This was never a battle being fought in the realm of flesh and blood. It is a battle that was being fought in the heavenlies and then it spilled over into our world displaying the weakness of human nature and the content of compromised character.
