The Root Of Rejection

Rejection starts as a seed that is planted in our lives through different things that happen to us Satan does not want to plant just a seed of rejection. He wants to plant it deep so it will develop into a root that will go way down and have little needles attached to it. Eventually these roots and needles will become a tree.

Whatever you are rooted it determines the fruit of your life – good or bad. If you are rooted in rejection, abuse, shame, guilt, or a poor self image – if you are rooted in thinking, someone is wrong with me (your tree) you will bear depression, negativism, lack of confidence, anger, hostility, a controlling spirit, judgement, a chip on your shoulder, hatred, and self-pity. It can lead you to say to yourself “well, the real me is not acceptable, so I need to produce a pretend me.”

All the areas of your life that are out of order can be reconciled through Jesus and the work that He has done at the cross. It happened for me, and God can do it for you. But you must believe it is true and don’t settle for the bondage that Satan has over you. Be determined to be free.

You Can Be Delivered From The Power Of Rejection

I Never Knew You

Is it possible to spend your life in church and your eternity in hell.

Imagine, for a moment what would be like to die and open your eyes in hell. Even more terrifying if you had spent your life in church, supposedly doing all the right things.

Not everyone that says to me “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven. Mini won’t tell me in that day, Lord Lord, didn’t we prophesied in your name, and your name cast out demons, and in your name too many mighty works? Then I will tell them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.

Matthew 7:21-23

The three verses in the book of Matthew are probably some of the most troubling scriptures to me. They probably because they describe me in the body of Christ, who are face value, are seemingly doing the right things, Yeah death or refused entrance into the eternal reward of righteousness.

Messages in the church today are blessed with a tremendous anointing to moving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. During church services, prophecies, words of wisdom or words of knowledge seem to just flow out of them (have I not prophesied in your name?).

Many have stood face-to-face with some of the most wicked spirits that hell produce, casting them out of their victims, and sending them back to the abyss (and in my name cast out demons?).

Others have large and far wiki ministries and mega churches. They fed the poor, supply relief and found his Third World countries. They have seen multitudes come to Jesus and receive salvation and physical healing (and in my name done wonderful works?).As they stand before the Lord of Lords expecting to hear “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of the Lord” (Matthew 25:21). Words were ringing in their ears throughout eternity, I never knew you depart from me you worker of iniquity.

The groups will also include mini Sunday school teachers, pastors and evangelist. Song leaders, choir members and musicians may also be in these numbers, along with elders, deacons and stewards. From the most influential member of the laity to the least, Mini run the risk of being rejected entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

How can this happen? It seems impossible that people with ministries, that we have judge is successful and blessed, bar into such a spiritual wasteland. But nonetheless it could happen.

Scripture Must Interpret Scripture

One of the biggest mistakes we make when reading our Bibles is that too often we use our denominational doctrine or religious traditions as our standard or scriptural interpretation. This is backwards theology. We met with scripture, Incontact, interpret our doctrines. When we allow doctrine or tradition to interpret scripture we run the risk, like the Pharisees, of falling into religious tradition.

It seems that religious people’s spiritual lives Are usually created around doctrinal traditions rather than God’s words and it’s entirety.

many times people believe that once you’re saved, you’re always saved. I get askedmany times people believe that once you’re saved, you’re always saved. I get asked sometimes does your church speak in tongues? The sad fact is, they do not want an answer from God‘s word but only want to argue doctrine. When we are just people witness, for the most part, they will use the name of Jesus only to create another convert to their doctrine and to their religious philosophy. Many times they do more harm to the kingdom of God then they do good.

Many people will tell you that Christianity and other Bible believing religions are false. Many people say things that they think are scriptural but are not. I tell you read the Bible and research it for yourself. Many people are on their way to hell just like the Pharisees because they believe the other people are telling them to scriptural doctrine.

There’s a easy way to tell: if it doesn’t line up with God’s word, it is false.

Fellowship with God is when shared values are in place are genuine biblical fellowship occurs. This fellowship produces our mutual cooperation in God’s worship, God’s work, and God’s will being done in the world.

Why We Never Give Up

Some days things in your life feel so much a struggle that we think about throwing in the towel.

Maybe your job is just getting to stressful or perhaps a relationship is not where you want it to be anymore, or you are tired of dealing with medical issues in your life. Whatever the stressed, it’s completely normal to have those feelings.

So let’s talk about why you should never give up in life.

Life Is A Journey Of Ups And Downs

Life is full of successes and fail. It’s a dance of highs, lows and somewhere in between. I always like to use nature as a great example and to let it be our teacher in life. There is a season for sowing and a season for reaping. Just like having a baby between the wanting and the having. People don’t question this, they just accept that’s how it is. It’s the law of nature.

So why when it comes to challenges in life do any of us just call it a day?

A farmer doesn’t plant his potatoes and just say “I’m done” after just 2 days.

I don’t lose faith in God when my day goes horribly wrong, I think He is still watching over me when I’m in the valley just as He’s watching over me when I’m on the mountain top..

When you can grasp an unofficial this basic law of life. It’s a solid reminder that things require work and take time. Things don’t happen overnight.

It’s a funny thing, time is such a precious commodity, yet we consistently destroy it with meaningful things.

We’ve Lost Our Patience

In a modern-day world of fast paced living, social media addiction, and craving for the next hit of dopamine; it’s no wonder people have formed a habit of giving up on anything and everything more easily.

Because of our shorted attention spans, it has led us to lose focus and have less Patience on things. There are so many distractions around us all the time. When people don’t get the immediate gratification of something they give up.

Giving Up Will Only Make Things Worse

When people feel like giving up on something. If you personally believe that the pain will disappear, I’m glad they’re giving up something will shift more positively for them. Of course there are many levels to this.

Giving up on a piece of school work is a little different than feeling like you want to give up on your entire life.

Why will giving up make things worse?

Because giving up is not what you want deep down. It’s taking the path of least resistance. It’s easy way out in the moment, but the most pain in the future. Growth and progress or what makes us feel better. They give us strength and belief that our future is brighter.

Life Is A Magnificent Adventure When We Find Meaning In It.

I tried to say one thing about why you should never give up, it would be the above. Life is so extra ordinary and amazing when we can find meaning and sense of purpose. When we live with intention, we can recognize that the difficulties are part of the journey.

Our failures and setbacks are feedback for us. They let us know that something needs to change. Don’t let them make you quit.

Do what is easy and your life will be hard. Do you want it hard in your life will be easy.

Les Brown

When Giving Up Is Okay

Giving up is actually never okay, in my opinion. However, it’s important to mention that if you are truly unhappy about something in your life, then it’s perfectly okay to quit whatever it is. This means that something which is not helping you grow or feel fulfilled is consciously removed from your life.

The difference is quitting something that you generally no longer want and not just giving up on something because of the difficulties or challenges around it.

I would suggest getting super clear with yourself and asking in those moments of decision, “am I giving up because this is too hard or stressful right now?” Or, “am ai done with this so much right now that I want it out of my life for good?”

You Are The Creator Of Your Own Life

Remember that you are the driver in the seat of your own life. You decide what you want, what things mean to you, and how you live your life day to day.

You can let others decide what to do, build someone else’s dream, and get by the best you can. But I know you are reading this because you aren’t somebody who is willing to settle in life.

Live Fully, Wholeheartedly, And True To Yourself!

The Way To Endure To The Finish Line – Jesus Plus Nothing

Truth be known, the Christian life is impossible. Only with Christ can we live it. But to answer like that is to avoid significant role that we have to play.

The finish line reveals a lot about a runner. Some barrel through the line, others stumble or waver over it, and others start to slow up as soon as it’s in sight. Isaiah used an eagle in 30:31 as birds are known for their speed. When we are weary, God supplies immediate strength. How we receive it is up to us. We can waver and stumble over the line, fear and slow as if we’re not sure we’ll make it, or barrel through with all of our strength, unconcerned of running out of all we will need to cross the line victoriously.

Scripture often refers to faith as a race. The Bible teaches that we should deliberately discipline our by sacrificing time and effort to know God better, running with purpose in every step. We should be as serious as an athlete in training.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 says, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? Run like that, that you may win!” All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. so I run with purpose with it in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training could you what it should otherwise. I fear that I will become disqualified if I don’t.

Sometimes, but allows the race to get harder so we can build our faith. This happened with Jeremiah. He was complaining to God about the opposition he faced, and God answered him this way:

“If you have a rash with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how can you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

Jeremiah 12:5

As we put our hope in the Lord, our strength is renewed so we can “run and not grow weary.”

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and no be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Gain understanding because we run on God’s race track, “ in the path of His commands.”

I run in the path of your commands, or you have broadened my understanding

Psalm 119:32

Others have run the same race and they are cheering us on, telling us we can do it, urging us to get rid of the things that in our lives that slow us down so we can “run with perseverance that race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.”

Hebrews 12:1-3 says “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders ass in the sand that easily entangles us. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of faith. For the Joyce sent before Him He Endured the cross, scorning at shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured much opposition from sinners so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Sometimes we will also have to endure opposition and make sure that nothing cuts in front of us and stops us from running with perseverance:

You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?

Galatians 5:7

Note that the rates depend on obedience to God’s truth. That is why is important to run as the scripture encourages us to run. Then, our earthly race comes to an end, and we can run into eternity with these words on our lips:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 4:7

How Do We Fight The Good Fight?

What is the “good fight” and how did we fight for it?

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold Of the eternal life to which you were called. And you confess the good compassion and the site of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

The apostle suggests to Timothy, that to mind the things of this world. His life was a state of warfare as he was a soldier, and was not to entangle himself with the things of this life. How many times do we let this ,ice entangle us into the things of this world.

Timothy had many enemies to engage with, including Satan, and his principalities and powers; sin and lusts of the flesh; the world, and the men of it, and a great fight of afflictions to endure with them. As also false teachers, with, whom Literally he wants to fight the good fight of faith, so that the truth of the Gospel, which they resisted, might continue with the saints.

This fight is called “the fight of faith,” Hartley in opposition to the law, and in which the false teachers, In the apostle sign, we’re so much engaged, and against whom the apostles set themselves. And partly because the doctrine of faith, faith of the gospel, the first ones delivered to the Saints, is what they honestly contended , strove, and thought for; And because of the grace of faith, as conversant with the Scriptures of truth, was the weapon they fought with.

It may be called a “good fight,” because it is in a good cause, the cause of God and truth; Under a good captain, Jesus Christ the captain of our salvation, or which good weapons are provided, even the whole armor of God, in which are not carnal, but spiritual in mighty; To which may be added, that those who are engaged in this fight maybe share a victory, and the crown of glory, life and righteousness.

What Is The Good Fight?

Those who will get to heaven must fight their way toward it. There must be a conflict with corruption and temptations, and the opposition of the powers of darkness. Observe, it is a good fight, it is a good cause, and it will have a good issue. It is a fight of faith; We do not war after the flesh, for the weapon of our warfare are not carnal (2 Corinthians 10:3; 2 Corinthians 10:4). He exhorts him to lay hold of eternal life. Observe:

1. Eternal life with the crown proposed to us, for our encouragement to war, and to fight a good fight of faith, the good warfare.

2. This we must way hold on, How do you those that are afraid of coming short a bitch and losing it. Lay hold, and take heed I’m losing your home. Holdfast that which you have, that no man take your crown (Revelation 3:11).

3. We are called to the fight, and he will hold on eternal life.

4. Profession Timothy and all faithful ministers make before many witnesses is a good profession, for they profess and engage to fight the good fight of faith, and to lay hold on eternal life; their calling and their old profession oblige them to this. While we are not ministers we have to be strong in our profession to fight the good fight.

We must fight the good fight with all our might. Christ is our strength and Christ is out light. Play hold on life and it shall be out joy and crown eternally.

Run the street race suit God’s good grace, if your eyes and seek Christ’s face. Live with it way before us, Christ is the path and Christ is the prize.

Cast cares aside, lean out our guide. Gods boundless mercy will provide. Trust, and our trusting soul shall prove Christ is it’s life, and Christ is love.

Faint not in fear; Gods arms are near.God does not change and you are dear. Only green that you should see Christ in all in all.

Fight The Good Fight Of Faith. Take Hold Of The Eternal Life To Which You Were Called, And You Confessed The Good Confession In The Sight Of Many Witnesses.
