Many of us have built walls to protect us but it is that same wall that blocks us from advancing where God has called us. The spirit of rejection consumes us with fear that we can’t walk in the freedom that God provides. It convinces us that we are better off alone and without instead of the prospering life that God wants to give to those who love and trust him. The spirit of rejection can start in the womb from the circumstances that surround the birth of the child. Unwanted pregnancy and abuse are open doors to the spirit of rejection. This is a spirit that holds you in hurtful places, not allowing you to flourish because it robs you of your freedom. It reminds you of your pain so that you won’t truly triumph into your victory season. It creates in you a victim mentality rather than a victory mindset. The attacks in our lives can leave us broken, and the enemy knows our weaknesses that is why we can’t trust our feelings in those trying times, and we must surrender to God those places where we are operating in fear or worry. Shielding yourselves from something that you can’t see coming is an impossible thing to accomplish. God provides protection and direction for the believer. Resting in the Lord will kill the noise of the enemy. “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7-10). Submitting means surrendering to the word and the will of the Lord who protects you and positions you to triumph. The word works when you work it. Many of us think that we can operate outside the will of God, and everything will go well for us. Which is not a true statement because it doesn’t align with truth. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and all of his righteousness and all things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). The spirit of rejection is not a shield of protection, it is rather a spirit that keeps you bound rather than dwelling in the spirit. “Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.”
God paid a hefty price to see his people set free. And when man gave authority over to the enemy. Jesus came and took it back and gave it back to believers to rule and reign. We are more powerful than we think and more blessed than we know. “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32). Allow God to train your ear to hear and your heart to understand. Freewill permits you to live how you feel. Following Christ requires you to follow God’s will. “Let his Kingdom come. Let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10). God is for us. (Romans 8:31)
The spirit of rejection is not a place for you to hide but it is a place for you to decide rather or not to trust God in the overcoming. Jesus said, “In this world, you will have trouble but take heart! I have overcome the world.” We too shall overcome, if we trust in the Lord with all of our heart and lean not on our own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5-6). God has accepted us into his freedom to give us life and life abundantly God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.( Ephesians 1:5) NLT. But the spirit of rejection robs, kills, and destroys. Which one will you operate in? The choice is yours.
