THE SPIRIT OF REJECTION

THE SPIRIT OF REJECTION

The Spirit of Rejection springs up when you misplace your identity trying to please people, conclude on what people think about you rather than what God is saying. Spirit of Rejection is one of the demons that make it hard for us to move to the next level in our lives. Satan knows what consumes us, what controls us and the more consumed we are with rejection, the more he can control our emotions, our thinking and our actions. Spirit of rejection victimizes its prey by causing them to feel worthless and unwanted. It employs a spirit of self-pity as it drives people away from you and allows abandonment and isolation to move in.  A spirit of rejection taunts you with one failure after another in hopes you will say, “I give up.”

SCRIPTURES: Psalm 27:10, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 3:19, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 7:2, John 3:16, Romans 8:12,17, John 17:23.
