Rejection

Rejection. 1. To refuse to accept, acknowledge, use, believe. 2. To throw out as useless or worthless; discard. 3. Failure to accept. 4. Something rejected as imperfect, unsatisfactory, or useless.

As I alluded to in the last study I sent out, I see many believers that are pretending to be happy. One thing that stands out is significant rejection because of offenses, lack of acceptance and self-worth resulting in an unloving spirit, bitterness, envy, and jealousy.

Rejection is a form of unbelief. It is as dangerous as unbelief itself. It is as dangerous as faithlessness. Rejection is a form of unbelief because Rejection says that you are not accepted of God, and in order to be accepted of God you have to be accepted of men first. It sets man as your god by declaring that who you are and who you are not rests on a human who accepts you or does not accept you. This goes against what the Bible say in Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. What will your choice be? Easy choice but very hard to apply.

There are no other beings greater than God. They do not exist. If you make man your god and also whether someone accepts you or not as the basis of your righteousness and your acceptance by God, than you are in idolatry – self-idolatry and idolatry of men. Idolatry is the first of the Ten Commandments that brings a curse to the third and fourth generation (Exodus 20:5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me).

You are not from men. You may say you are because you had a mother and father. In Psalm 139, David said you come from God. He said that before you became a fetus within the womb, even before you were ever conceived, God knew your parts. God knew who you would be long before you or your parents were conceived, before your grandparents were conceived, and before Adam and Eve were conceived. He knew you from the foundation of the world, and you were neither an accident nor mistake. You are known of God and accepted of God through Jesus Christ, and you have to accept that. You have to accept that you are no accident because if you say you are an accident, then you make God a liar.

Rejection is an evil spirit. It is not an emotion, it is not a concept, it is not a philosophy, and it is not an ideology. Rejection is a living being – an invisible, disembodied entity. Its name is Rejection and it manifest by its nature wanting to become part of your nature so the two of you can be one together. It needs you. It wants you to believe that you are not worthy of being loved by self, mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, friends, boss, and even God. Rejection wants you to think that nobody cares.

The foundation for freedom is defeating Rejection along with the tag along spirits of Bitterness, Envy, and Jealousy. Your battle is in relationship with God, yourself, and others that has to be resolved before healing can come. You must resolve your relationship with God. You must accept yourself and who you are. You must make peace with your brother. If you do not, you are not going anywhere in the rest of the areas of your life without great difficulty.

Hebrews 4:9-11 (NCV) This shows that the rest for God's people is still coming. Anyone who enters God's rest will rest from his work as God did. Let us try as hard as we can to enter God's rest so that no one will fail by following the example of those who refused to obey.

Everyone has some level of rejection in their lives that has to be overcome. I strongly recommend a short book called Rejection by Henry Wright. You will need to read this book over and over until healing comes.

If God doesn’t reject me, I will not allow man to reject me.

God Bless You,
