The Spirit of Offense falls under the Jealousy strongman, but it brings with it the Spirits of Pride, Accusation, Strife and Bitterness. People with this spirit are easily offended and are compulsive complainers. The root to this spirit is insecurity; there is need for validation and respect from others to feel good about themselves.

But God sent him to me…That is a statement from many women that I hear when the euphoric feelings have subsided, and the relationship is not as expected.
