RHEMA 8/13/01 SELF REJECTION AND HEALING

HEARD: Lay your burdens down. Luke 3:3. It's what the kingdom is all about. Follow My will.

Luke 3:3

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

HEARD: Root of the tree: Rejection. Allergies. Need a miracle? I could get you one for free.

Eph 1:5-6 NKJV

having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us ACCEPTED in the Beloved.

HEARD: Authority. Believer.

Luke 10:17-20 NKJV

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."  18 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

WORD TO PONDER:  SELF REJECTION 8/13/01

Do you need a miracle in your body?  Forgive those who have rejected you.  The root of infirmity is rejection.  You were born to be loved and accepted, embraced and nurtured.  When you are rejected, your body begins to reject yourself and opens the door for sickness and disease.  Repent of rejecting others, repent of rejecting yourself and repent of unforgiveness.  Set yourself and others free to be loved and then take authority over your body in My Name. Open the door for life and close the door to death.

Mark 11:25-26 NKJV

"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."

WORD TO PONDER:  WOUNDED OR CORRECTED?  8/24/04

There are times when you bare your soul before men that you receive backlash. Accusation, misunderstanding and judgment leaves you feeling naked and shot.  Worse yet, in your wounded state, it leaves you feeling like a bad person.  This erodes and seeps down into your soul to further your decay of failure into self rejection.  Precious One, listen to ME. This is not My good gift.

Yes, I feed tenderhearted correction into your life as you need it.  Yes, I use circumstances to form you into My image.  And, yes, I bring everything into your life and turn it for good.  But do not think that I AM judging you, stripping you naked and shooting you over your failures.  I AM not rejecting you, dear one, and neither do I ever point a finger to condemn you.  I weep with you as you mourn over your mistakes, I weep even before you know you make them.

My beloved child, would I severely discipline a child who earnestly wants to please Me and seek My way?  I AM only stern to the rebellious who defiantly turn from My loving and gracious heart.  I AM full of compassion over you who fall and tremble at My Word.  And how it moves My heart to wild rejoicing as I see you willing to stand up and try again!  How proud of you I AM, dear one, to see you keep on keeping on.  Now, let My love wash and cover you.  You are not naked, you are clothed in My forgiving and pure white garment of righteousness.

NIV Romans 10:4

Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

WORD TO PONDER:  BREAKING THE CHILDHOOD VOWS 11/05/04

Without notice, you have been bound by the words of your mouth, taken as vows in your childhood.  My dear friend, this has caused you woundings which are so deep, even you do not know from whence they came. When you fail to measure up to such things, it brings upon you guilt, condemnation, shame, a sense of failure, and ultimately self rejection.

Some of these vows you accepted to become responsible for another, when you were much too young to take such a responsibility!  You were destined to fail simply because this was much too much for any human being to carry, let alone a child. Other vows were spoken that for as long as you lived, you would never …  Yes, that is a common vow spoken in deep emotion, with life long cords.  Other vows were self imposed labels of failure and calling yourself names.  Loose yourself from such words, confess them to Me and to another and break their hold upon yourself.

Eccl 5:2-5 NKJV

Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.  For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.  When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed —  Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

WORD TO PONDER:  STUFFING CAUSES IMPLOSION  12/29/04

I am pulling the stuffing out of you who are introverts.  For years you have buried your responses and emotions to issues and not found a way to resolve them.  Internalizing the pain has caused deep wounds of embedded anger and self rejection. This has nurtured soil ripe for disease which is a product of dis-ease in  your body.

I cry over the wounds of My people and want them healed from the inside out.  I want your bodies healthy even as your soul is.  It is time to bring to Me each and everything that you have stuffed from years and years of internalizing pain, having born it yourselves.  As I bring circumstances into your lives which draw these things to the surface, give them to Me to wash and cleanse.  I will help you release them so you will be able to forgive others, forgive yourself and overcome the shame and rejection that has been attached to these miseries.  Come My Beloved ones and release these to Me, lest you implode and lose your light.

1 Kings 19:9 NKJV

And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here , Elijah?"

WORD TO PONDER:  Raise your children with a balance of  admonition and affirmation  12/08/07

Wisdom is justified by her children.  Dear ones, the good and bad seeds that you plant in others become your children.  They are your fruit.  Take heed to plant good seeds so that you reap a good harvest.

It is wise to plant seeds with a balance of affirmation and admonition.  A child raised with too much correction will become a harvest of condemnation, shame and self rejection.  A child raised in only affirmation and praise will become proud and independent.  Choose to balance correction with encouragement so that the seeds you plant in your children will produce a good crop. In all things, always plant with love.

2 Cor 9:6-11 NKJV

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad,

He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."  Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

NO VEILS BETWEEN US  12/13/10

Dearest heart, when you have confessed your sins and asked for forgiveness, I completely forgive you.  Veils separate us when you are in self condemnation, self blame and self rejection.  It brings about a veil of separation between us when you do not receive My forgiveness.  To forgive means to let the matter go and cast it away.  I have cast away your sins of all that you have said, done or even thought that has fallen short of My glory.

I see you only through the eyes of love.  There is simply nothing between us.  You have given Me your soul and asked Me to wash it clean of anything that defiles.  I have been washing you for years.  Allow My Truth to sink in deeply, so that you can come to Me, totally blameless and without fault.  Yes, I understand this is hard to swallow when you look at yourself, but not when I look upon you.  My blood covers your guilt.  My love embraces you wholly.  You are My child, the one whom I have birthed, watched over, nurtured and cherished.  You are totally and completely loved, now come to Me precious one.

1 Thess 5:23-24 NKJV

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

VOWS AND WISHES

READER QUESTION: 

Is a wish the same thing as a vow? Since as far back as I can remember, I have wished that I'd never been born. I know that this wish has had and is having huge impact on my life.

SANDY RESPONSE:  Scripture tells us to take our thoughts captive to Christ because out of the abundance of our hearts, we end up speaking life and death.

Prov 23:7

For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

2 Cor 10:5-6 NKJV

...bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...

Matt 12:34-35  NKJV

For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 

Prov 18:21 NKJV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
