The biggest step in walking out of manipulation is recognizing when we do it. And the best way to not be manipulated is to recognize when we are being manipulated. Both come from places we don't see God as our source, and places we do not fully have our identity worked out. Manipulation never happens when there a trust in God.

No matter the attack, don't stop on what God has assigned you to build. God will do the heavy lifting if we submit to Him and His plan. But it is important to remember that even God's plans come under attack from the enemy. There are attitudes (the enemy) and actions (from people) that will come against us when we begin God's work. We must stay on the wall and keep building!

When we let offense set in our hearts, it can become deadly. How you handle opportunities to be offended will determine whether you grow or not spiritually. Offense can trip us up, cause us to stumble, and ultimately entice us into sin. Offense is something we need to get rid of completely. Ask the Lord if there is any area where you have been offended, and then repent to the Lord until you feel that area is cleared up.

Understanding the Old Covenant is the foundation for the New Covenant we have with God. The Bible can seem overwhelmingly complicated and hard to grasp, but truly, there is an order to how the different books have been laid out. This teaching will give you a general overview and understanding of the Old Testament.
