God's
Promises! 2 Peter 1:4 2
Corinthians 1:20
Rejection
Rejection: The state of being refused
love.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and
believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in
love dwells in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made
perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he
is, so are we in this world.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment.
John 3:16 For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
everyone that believes in him should not die, but have everlasting life.
God’s will isn’t automatically done in
our life. We have to fight to have "Thy will be done.". Christians must
choose the will of God. There are three wills: God’s, our will, and
Satan’s will.
Jesus spoke to nature and to demons and
they submitted. Our will is the strongest thing on the planet. We can
will to reject Jesus. Satan is fighting within our minds to affect our
will. Other people’s rebellion hurts us.
Satan’s Kingdom: No unity, no
companionship.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If
God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came
from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Perfect love casts out all fear. God
gave us the Name, the Word, and the Blood because of His love. Hell
cannot stay in an atmosphere of love. Deliverance occurs in our
sanctuary every night.
The spirit of Rejection’s task is to
steal love. Helplessness. Depression. "They’re not helping me". If
we are worried about ourselves we cannot minister to others.
Isaiah 41:9 You whom I have taken
from the ends of the earth, and called you from the chief men thereof,
and said unto you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I will not
cast you away.
God has chosen me. He has not rejected
me.
The Bible, a Book of Life, wasn’t meant
to describe the Kingdom of Darkness. It gives us enough understanding of
the darkness to be victorious. All spirits are not mentioned. One third
of the angels is a lot of spirits.
Satan relies on God to exist. If he
could kill us right now, he would. He can’t.
Three Pathways to Sin
I. From generation to
generation: Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow down to idols nor serve
them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth
generations of those who hate Me,
This is a law. Some are in due
to their forefather’s sins. We don’t even know our great grandfather’s
name, but his sin affects us.
Appropriate this verse: Galatians
3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a
curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a
tree: Someone’s has to pay. Jesus paid the price.
II Family Events: God’s will
isn’t being done every day. Divorce, father works all day, financial
problems, critical parents.
III Breakdown of Family Priesthood:
This is alignment similar to Body-Soul-Spirit. The body and the soul are
"good" as well as the spirit. It is not that the spirit is better, it’s
just that it’s just how God created us, to be led by the spirit.
Fathers aren’t better than wives or
children. It’s just God’s way. The word submit means "to come under the
protection of". When a man withdraws from the family, problems occur.
Stress falls upon the mother in the home. Laws, like gravity can be
defied for a season, but laws win in the end. The home deteriorates to
where there is no love and rejection moves in.
Reaction to Rejection
Rebellion, resentment, self-pity,
withdrawal. Personality adjustments: perfectionists, material lust,
sexual lust, pride, control and possessiveness. If I am controlling you,
you cannot hurt me. People were made for love and when they don’t get
it, they rebel. They will do whatever to draw attention to themselves.
There is pleasure in sin, for a season.
Alcohol makes the pain go away for a while. Satan will stop the pain
while you are getting hooked, then it returned, heightened, and people
turn to drugs.
Rejection - Fear of Rejection - Self
Rejection. I don’t like the way I look, I dress. If I could be like him,
I could be accepted. We begin acting like someone else. This is success,
I’ve got to be like that. In the seventies, the people who tried to look
like a famous tar were people that were hurting.
Rejection of others: Fault finding,
criticism. We cut off segments of society from our lives. The demon of
rejection drives prejudice.
Desire of Rejection: "I’m not doing too
well today." "Not good". Rejection loves pain. The only way they get
acceptance is through self-rejection.
IV. Walls are up because of sin.
Rejection builds a stronghold in our
lives. Even when we are saved, the stronghold remains and must be torn
down.
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ
circumcision does not matter, neither lack of circumcision; but faith
which works by love.
Faith works through love. No love = no
faith. People considering suicide have no faith. The more love you have
the more faith you have. Satan attacks love. He attacks love at a very
young age.
Deuteronomy 32:30 How should one
chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock
had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
It takes two or more. I need someone
else to agree with me to activate the power. Two pray, 10,000. Three
pray, 100,000. When a person leaves the room, it affects everyone in the
room. If someone feels rejected and goes off into the corner, it lessens
the flow of the Glory of God.
Psalm 139:20 For they speak against
you wickedly, and your enemies take Your name in vain.
Psalm 139:21 Do not I hate them, O
LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up
against you?
Psalm 139:22 I hate them with
perfect hatred. I count them mine enemies.
We should have a perfect hatred of sin.
Walls are up because of sin. It is our response to the attack that
determines how it affects us.
Ezekiel 21:14 Thou therefore, son of
man, prophesy, and smite your hands together, and let the sword be
doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the
great men that are slain, which enters into their private rooms.
Ezekiel 21:17 I will also smite mine
hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said
it.
Strike your hands together, clap, that
the power of God will enter the private chambers of the enemy. I
will also beat my hands together and cause My fury to descend.
1. Repent of self pity. Breaks desire
of rejection.
2. Repent of lack of forgiveness.
Breaks rejection of others.
3. Repent of lack of appreciation.
Breaks fear of rejection
When we walk out in the rain of Hell,
we need our spiritual umbrellas. It doesn’t mean attacks won’t come, it
means Jesus is with us and we receive victory. Everything that comes
against us will be judged. If we have anyone we have not forgiven, bring
it to our memory now. We renounce, release the Spirit of Rejection of
others.
Self Rejection
Everything created has God’s glory
surrounding it. Man has God’s glory inside. We can’t walk without God,
but life is temporary. This life is short. We will never be what
rejection wants to be. Miss America cannot satisfy the Spirit of
Rejection. I’ll let my personality come forth.
Generation to generation sin let the
foothold in. How did it get so strong? Lack of appreciation. All I think
of is myself. We are rejecting our Savior wanting "something more". Our
fulfillment is in Jesus. The is no other evidence of God’s love. Jesus
is our all.
Forgive me that I live to Hell’s
torments. I repent. Satan eats pain.
1. Eyes. I bind Rejection’s eyes. Make
Rejection him blind!
2. Ears. I bind Rejection’s ears. Make
him deaf!
3. Memory. Take communion, The Blood
covers the mind!
