Rejection

The spirit of rejection runs deep and must be cut off at the root. Remember in the Bible when Jesus cursed the fig tree? He went for the root not the fruit (or the lack thereof).

Rejection can run all the way back to your childhood. If your parents did not take up for you. If they didn’t have the food to properly feed you. If they walked out on you. If they lied to you. If they did not listen to you. All of this causes a spirit of rejection and once we recognize this we can cut it at the root. Most people do not want to go back in time to heal their hearts and the fruit from these roots become rotten. We can prune and prune but until we cut the root this issue will constantly cause problems in the present.

Rejection can be caused by trauma. Were there not enough people to care about your illness? Not enough people to help take care of you? Not enough to help you in your time of need? People walk out on you when you were down? Trauma can and will cause a spirit of rejection.

Relationships can cause this spirit to run deep inside of you. Like I said this can run back into your childhood. It can be from trauma and it can be from past or current relationships. If you are feeling rejected because of how someone treats you they are probably dealing with a spirit of rejection in their own lives. It is hard to separate someone’s actions from them as a person but we must always remember we are not at war with flesh and blood. Some will not do the work on themselves in order for their future to be successful. You will know who is who by their fruit.

The quickest way I have found to deal with this nasty spirit is to revisit the past. Rejection will cause addiction, failed relationships, women searching for love in all the wrong places (men too), fear, anxiety, eating disorders, anger, wrath, etc.. it is a horrific spirit that does so much inside a person. When we revisit our pasts and invite Jesus into that situation we can cut the root. We can forgive them, forgive ourselves for being stupid (if this happened in your adult life) we can forgive anything, and ask Jesus into that situation to redeem us.

Sit down with this and explore yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your head and your heart. I have felt Him search me. I have had to do the work on myself so I know we can all do this. The quickest way I found to do this is to sit down, shut up, and listen to God. When He brought a memory to my mind I knew it was to show me I needed to get over it. I knew I needed to forgive and I will be the first to tell you this was not easy. It is not easy to forgive someone that purposely tried to hurt you, molested you as a child, walked out when you needed them most, etc, but it can be done. It is a conscious decision and you have made that effort when you sit down for God to analyze and show you. Do not be afraid for He is with you. Feel it. Feel the pain and then give it to Jesus. Our emotions are not unwarranted but when we do not forgive we are not forgiven. Also, it causes bitterness to set up in our hearts and then there is so much more work to do. This is why the Bible tells us to not let the sun go down on our anger. Lay it at His feet. When you do it is over. When you are redeemed the enemy cannot taunt you with this memory again and if he tries rebuke. You, by now, should now how God feels about you. Agree with what he says about you. Rejection will tell you that you aren’t worthy, that you’re a piece of crap, that nobody loves you and never will, and it will cause your past to haunt you. It is a liar. Fear is a liar! You gotta know what the Lord says about you and if you don’t get in the Word, especially the book of Ephesians. If you need a quick recap because it is not a long chapter but read it all and sit with it. Highlight what God says about you and come out of agreement with the lies rejection has told you.

Let’s pray…

Daddy, my most beautiful King, thank You for your never ending love even when we do not feel worthy. Thank You for never abandoning us even when we do not feel you. Thank You for Your mercy, grace and forgiveness. Daddy, search us, know us, help us to know ourselves, and help us lay every past hurt at your feet. Show us where we have allowed pain and hurt to set up in our hearts. Show us what we need to forgive and forget to move into a beautiful future You have planned out for us. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit and please never take Him from us. We thank You for showing us and helping us to forgive retched things too vile to even mention. Thank You for loving us through all of this and for the blood of Jesus. Wash us, cleanse us and restore a steadfast spirit within us. Teach us Your ways. Show us when we are wrong and when we do not offer you a spirit of cooperation. Teach us how to lay it all down at the feet of Jesus, He already paid the price so we do not have to. We plead the blood from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet. Wash us in your liquid love. Enlarge our capacity to know more of You. Teach us how to reprogram our minds from the lies of the enemy. We come out of agreement with every lie the enemy has spoken over us. We break every tie that does not glorify You. Bind our tongues where nothing comes out of us that doesnt bring glory to You. Thank You for Your loving touch. Thank You for being our hero and for saving us. Thank You for never leaving us. Thank You Daddy for helping us. In Jesus name- amen

Now, go sit down and do the work. Our hearts must be pure. Jesus is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. We must iron out these kinks. Clean hands and pure hearts- these are the ones that can sit in the presence of God! He gives us all of this in His Word but we have been plagued by religion which needs to end. God is about to get rid of denominations and bring people unto the truth of Who He is! Clean it up and do the work. I beg you!!
