The Rejected Are Now Accepted

Rejection: to rebuff; especially, to deny acceptance, care, love (to someone) [a rejected child]. That is how the New World Dictionary defines this troubling word.
That Paul is the author of Romans is virtually undisputed. The book is generally dated to A.D. 57, probably during Paul’s third missionary journey. It is believed that Paul wrote this letter from Corinth (Archaeological Study Bible NIV.) In the following verses, Paul talks about rejection, although he is speaking of another kind of rejection.
This is a quote from this same Bible. It is Paul, the apostle speaking about rejection: “I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:13-15)
To be rejected is painful; it is unfair, destructive, and condemning as well. Many of us have at one time or another experienced rejection, many of us never got over it either. Unfortunately, victims can carry their rejection long after those who rejected them have forgotten all about it. In Christ, we have no rejection. (Psalm 94:12-14) says; “Blessed is the man You discipline, O Lord, the man You teach from Your law; You grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not forsake His inheritance.” We have a Savior—one who will redeem us; unless, we reject Him. I pray no one who reads this message has any thoughts of this kind of rejection.
After Jesus sent out seventy-two others ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to go; He told them in (Luke 10:16) “He who listens to you listens to Me; he who rejects you rejects Me; but he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
Like I stated before; yes, to be rejected is painful and unfair, but, it can be condemning for us in a very serious way if we are the ones rejecting God; His Son Jesus; or His Holy Spirit.
Have you, or are you facing rejection now in your life? I understand, and I am sorry you are going through this troublesome time. I hope you will allow me to pray right now for your hurt. This is my prayer for you: “Lord, You of all, understand the pain and hurt of rejection. You experienced it in a most personal way for me, for us, for this person who right now needs Your acceptance. Lord, I pray You help the one who this prayer is for, to experience Your peace, and Your love, so they are released from any shackles of rejection. You Lord are our salvation, our hope and healing. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for accepting us as sinners. We do believe in You Lord, and we will not be guilty anymore ourselves of any kind of rejection; especially, of You.” Amen.
If this prayer is for you, and you pray this with me, I believe any rejection you have felt in the past, is now release; in Jesus’ name.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
