The Effects of The Spirit of Rejection Pt 2
Rejection started with God’s creation rejecting Him
Rejection is Sin

Sin originated in the mind of Lucifer before he became Satan
Isaiah 14:12-14: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
• Jesus in the New Testament said in John 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
• After Satan sin entered into Humankind
• Man’s Rebellion led to the Rejection of God and mankind was separated from God
• Suffering spiritual death and ultimately physical death

Battling In The Spirit Realms With Jesus Christ

By

Sword-of-the-Holy-Ghost

Christianity is a supernatural faith and we should not use the wisdom of this world to explain supernatural things.

1. We must compare spiritual with spiritual
2. And know that our war is in the spiritual realm
3. Yes Jesus completed the work on Calvary
4. But we still have the master deceiver who is the Devil to deal with
5. We cannot lay our weapons down

Christians are in a battle. Paul told Timothy to “fight” the good fight of faith.
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

1. Must be strong to fight
2. Strength comes from the Word of God and prayer
3. This is on an individual basis
4. We should not depend on a teacher or Pastor to fend for us

Some people don’t believe what they can’t see but there is a spiritual realm to deal with and we should seek the Lord to be led by the Spirit.

Colossians 1:16 gives us insight into the spiritual realm saying, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.” Angels such a Michael and Gabriel are the highest rank of angel being arch angels and having “thrones.” Other angels are identified as cherubim and seraphim having “dominions.” Further there are “principalities” which would be the angels in positions over other lesser angels. The “powers” would be the rank and file worker or “ministering” angels.
a. The created cannot be more powerful than the creator
b. We must learn this in supernatural spiritual warfare

Victory in Jesus – Sowing Sermon Seeds

By

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1John 5:4
We have an awesome victory in Jesus Christ. The presence of the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in human beings that have been born again. This works through the faith that is planted as a seed in our innermost being.
The Apostle John wrote concerning the basis of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ came in the flesh and laid down His life as a substitute for us for forgiveness of sin. We will realize the completion of His work in us at His coming:
“When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
Just knowing this Biblical truth is a foundation that strengthens our faith and gives us hope as we serve the Lord. There are other precious promises:

EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” Revelation 2:7

WILL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Revelation 2:11

Power over the Nations

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Revelation 2:26

Given a New Name

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Revelation 2:17

Clothed in White Raiment

“He that overcometh, and same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” Revelation 3:5

Pillar in the Temple of God

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12

Sit with the Lord on His Throne

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” Revelation 3:21
Inherit all things
“He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” Revelation 21:7

Conclusion

We have these precious promises that the Apostle John spoke of. We can speak these out loud or meditate on them in our heart, soul, and spirit. We can overcome the world because Jesus said: “be of good cheer because I have overcome the world.” The Bible says we must: “occupy till He comes.” Luke 19:3
