SPIRIT OF REJECTION | Deliverance
He was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
ISAIAH 53:3
And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Luke 2:49
The demonic spirit of double-mindedness first enters a person’s life through rejection. Rejection is a wound that usually begins early in life, and a wound left untreated develops into an infection.
For the LORD has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth when you were refused, says your God.
ISAIAH 54:6
To compensate for rejection some become withdrawn like a turtle in his shell for protection. Others explode with anger and hatred, fighting bitterly against the pain and injustice. Rejected people often spend their lives seeking a meaningful identity outside of a true relationship with God.
HOW REJECTION ENTERS:
Rejection often begins at a young age; it can even start in the womb. Prenatal rejection is common and can occur with unplanned/accidental pregnancies
In your own experiences you may have seen instances where a father wanted a son but had a girl instead,
A person can also be rejected by his or her family. This kind of rejection can include abandonment by one or both parents, whether intentional or perceived; emotional or physical abuse from authority figures
Societal rejection includes rejection from peers due to awkward features, racial prejudice, social and economic differences, bullying, and mistreatment from authority figures (i.e., teachers or coaches).
Causes of rejection later in life:
• Being deserted or divorced by a mate
• Experiencing the death or unfaithfulness of a marriage partner
• Mental or physical cruelty caused by a husband or wife
• Shame caused by a court conviction of a criminal offense
• Having to serve a prison term
• A lowering of lifestyle standards caused by drug or alcohol addictions of a marriage partner
• Rejection in love or a broken engagement
• Becoming bedridden or crippled as a result of disease or an accident
REJECTION MUST GO!
