John Bevere and his wife, Lisa, are ministers, best-selling authors, and the founders of Messenger International. Over the last twenty years, his book The Bait of Satan has sold millions of copies, helping countless people get free from the deadly snare of offense. But before any of this, John had to walk through his own story of learning forgiveness and allowing God to heal deep wounds from his past.
In this course, John uses Scripture, personal experiences, and practical steps to help you escape one of the enemy’s greatest traps.
We all want to experience the life God has for us—so why is it so few of us actually do? In a word, offense. Jesus said it is impossible for offenses not to come. Nearly every day we are mistreated by others—even those closest to us. Left unaddressed, these wounds from past wrongs will wreak havoc in our lives, stealing our vitality and thwarting our purpose.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Jesus invites us to embrace a new way of living.
Forgiveness is the central theme of the Gospel message. If we want to enjoy the fullness of our life in Christ, we must embrace His example and forgive others.
We know this is a difficult topic to navigate. That’s why we’ve created a course that guides you through the process of identifying, addressing, and releasing life’s pains and disappointments.
Don’t allow yesterday’s pain to steal tomorrow’s joy. God’s ultimate purpose is reconciliation and restoration. He wants you to thrive in your relationships, your marriage, your job, your church, and your world.
"After twenty years of marriage, my husband walked out because he “was no longer happy.” I was totally devastated. It has been a long time trying to get over the hurt, abandonment, and rejection his leaving caused. I asked God to help me forgive him, and I truly thought I had, but I still carried hurt in my heart I could not get over. It was very painful whenever I had to see him. After going through The Bait of Satan, the Holy Spirit impressed me to speak to my ex-husband and ask him to forgive me for holding this offense. We talked for the first time in ten years. I truly believe I was healed and set free! I thank God for freeing me from this yoke of bondage that has enslaved me for so long."
"Before I went through The Bait of Satan, I was at a point of non-communication with God. I was saved, but there was something between God and myself that was not quite right. I knew the loss was not on the Lord’s part, but I just did not know what the problem was. I was at a friend’s house one day, and she told me about The Bait of Satan. It had an anointing so great my spirit was just eating it up. About halfway through the material, I suddenly realized that the very thing that was standing between my relationship with the Lord was a spirit of offense."
"I am a multi-grade junior high and high school teacher. I recently went through The Bait of Satan, which brought several revelations to my life. I shared the video with my students, and the Holy Ghost was so strong in our classroom that everyone began to confess offenses and ask for forgiveness. Several students said that was the best day they had all year. One student reconciled with her father after a huge falling out; another started the healing process from deep wounds with her grandmother. The Lord really ministered to these students in a mighty way. Thank you for this message."
"As a couple, we held a lot of unforgiveness and hurts for many years. We got to the stage where we had very few friends, and I was feeling isolated and unloved even though I was faithfully attending an excellent church. Then I found The Bait of Satan, and everything changed. I came face-to-face with my offenses and unforgiveness, and with God’s help, I was set free!"
"I would like to thank God for the message of The Bait of Satan. I have been fasting and praying for a breakthrough in my life. The Lord led me to this message, and it has radically changed my life. This is a must for all who are in leadership."
"I thank God for The Bait of Satan. The Holy Spirit dealt with me the entire time while I went through it. This message has changed my life completely. I have been freed from the chains of offenses and will continue to exercise my heart, mind, and emotions to remain free."
