THOUGHTS:
Rejection is something a lot of people dont like talking about. Some people get embarrassed about being rejected, but this is something we all deal with at one time; maybe this happened to someone when they were in school and not being accepted, or maybe you feel that you’re the black sheep; some people get rejected by people because of their looks, or how their body looks. Someone might have loved someone so much that the person didn’t love them back. There are so many scenarios.
I’m pretty sure I missed a couple when it comes to rejection, but if we aren’t careful when we feel this emotional or going through this situation, if we dont handle it right, we can have a spirit of rejection attached to us quickly, and we won’t know how to deal with it
The one thing we have to understand is that when we deal with a rejection spirit, it is a rooting spirit that will root itself inside your soul and cause you to feel this in every area of your life; the rejection spirit will have you assuming things that are not happening and cause you to be bitter and alone, which causes the bitterness spirit, theses two spirits you want to stay far away from the first sign of this spirit in your life or my life we must go to God in prayer.
Now, some of us maybe never have been rejected. Still, we deal with this because it’s inherited from us through the bloodline and happens because it’s something someone deals with in the family. It gets passed to us, and we are lost at what to do; anything dealing with a spirit is an over-strong emotion that becomes a foothold if we allow the enemy to stay.
Psalm 94:14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
Many of us feel abandoned at one point in our lives, and we should never feel that way about God because he has never forsaken us. He hasn’t. Other people will leave us and make us feel some way, but God won’t because he loves us. Still, rejection can make us feel abandoned; it can make us feel the whole world hates us and keeps us from people, which brings on a depressed spirit.
See, this spirit wants to take over and control the way you think and feel, and if it can do that, it can control our whole life, but we have the power to rebuke and send this spirit back to hell. Still, we must be confident in God and have faith in the power of God to expel what’s in our lives.
The first step we will do is REPENT Acts 3:19. Repent, therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,
We must go to God and confess our sins. A lot of times, we dont look at small things as a sin. Some people like to say oh, this a minor sin. God will look over that, and he won’t. God doesn’t say oh, if you do all the big sins, you are going to hell, and for the minor sins, you won’t; every sin is looked at as a sin; nothing is bigger than the other. Everything is the same fleshly sin, but the spirits that come with these sins bring on different things that we must have the power & strength of God to help us with. Go to God and explain to him what you did or how you are feeling.
CLAIM YOUR IDENTITY Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. No longer I live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved and gave himself for me.
This verse tells us we no longer live, but Christ lives in us; we are free from the life of the flesh and can live by faith in God, who loves us; we have to claim our identity and walk in it some; sometimes we are confused at who we are, I know who I am because it says it on my birth certificate on my license and I know most importantly who I am in God when I was a sinner I was confused at who I was and who he called me to be and confused about him, but when I gave my life to God I know who I am and I stand firm and bold in that, we can’t let this world tell us who we are we can’t allow this world to change who we are we must stay bold and strong
STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and training in righteousness,
This is essential in all these steps, but we must study the word of God. Some people lack this, which gives the enemy a foothold because we aren’t staying guarded. Many of us dont read, we dont pray, and we dont fast, but when we apply ourselves, hold tight to his word, and won’t allow it to change us, we become stronger in him.
WALKING IN OUR AUTHORITY Isiah 61:1
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound
When we walk in the authority of God, we must understand we can preach, proclaim, set free, and rebuke any spirit because we are walking in the name of God; we know who gave us the authority and the assignment to walk this way we must learn to walk in this way and be bold and know who walks with us if you dont think you have this authority every believer has this authority but some people don’t talk on it because they are scared or dont know. Still, when we are sure about God, we can walk in this when we study and pray we walk boldly in our authority.
***Today, the only holy spirit wants us to walk in his authority, but we can’t do that if we don’t study; we can’t walk in that if we have no faith; we must believe and trust in God about everything that is happening to our lives, each step that was mentioned in this devotional is to teach us how to become strong and how to live through His strength, we talked about this yesterday that our strength our will won’t help us accomplish anything but through his blood and power we are stronger then we could ever imagine. The Holy Spirit wants us to be free in him and free to live a life through him because of his grace and mercy. Today, if you don’t understand what he gave you and what you do have, ask him to show you. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
