       It can be easier said than done to let an offense pass, whatever it is. Again, a good way to do this is to use the Giving Up Control method that I have outlined in our study here. When we observe our negative thoughts, not biting the hook and reacting to them, but rather just observing them in our minds, we can gain victory as the thoughts will disappear in not reacting to them. It is necessary for us to have good self-control of our minds, and true self-control is had by Giving Up Control. When we surrender our intense feelings to react to certain thoughts, we find that we can gain more and more victory over those thoughts, that they pass, that they leave us alone, and then we can move on. We don’t give any opportunity to the devil. We don’t put ourselves in a place where a stronghold can set foot in our minds, a place where we then have to spend a great deal of time surrendering because we allowed a series of thoughts to get out of control. We allowed those thoughts to grow and flourish inside our minds, like ivy growing rapidly up a tree, and now it’s going to take some time to put that off and it get rid of it.
