Rejoicing In Rejection - Bishop T.D. Jakes [December 22, 2019]

Rejection is the meter that measures our ability to govern on the next level successfully. The problem with rejection is it causes pain, which often can’t be adequately articulated. What do we do when rejection is screaming while God is silent? We must recognize rejection is merely a test of our faith, and God desires us to keep walking. Rejection is God’s way of showing us direction, can you see it? In the end, the vision will speak and not lie. The next time you face rejection, begin to praise God, for His way of birthing purpose into our lives is always better than ours.

Pastor , God led me to this message in Sept '20 . I have been rejected all my life from my Mother, my Father, my only Sister, friends. I was raised by my Great Aunt. I don't get invited to enjoy the holidays, they text me pictures of what i missed while i am alone. But I still serve and sow whenever she needs me or anyone else. I have a LOVE so deeply for people that I give even when I don't have. So its been hard yo understand until I heard this message. I realized through your teachings...it is not my business how people treat me...I will not be judged by their actions, but my own . So in tears, heart hurting , while I am still waiting on the change ... I will continue to serve as God leads me to serve. Pastor and Potter's house family, if you could be in agreement me for wholeness and healing for my family, and that God would speak to every area of lack in my family and finances...I would sincerely appreciate it. And I will continue to pray for all of you and your family. THANK you for being such a wonderful vessel..May God bless you and everyone on this thread.

[@tanchingyueen7854]

to be rejected by own flesh&blood is the most hurtful,but if shift focus on possible reasons they rejected e.g. Ur very existence,remind them how they r actually rejecting themselves on whatever standards they imposed including on themselves, too, while doing so secretly , furtively-Safety in Numbers,just follow the greater quantity of ppl

Bishop sure can be ,on point, how he can pull out a point, on something I had read right past, many times and never saw it. I suppose that's why Jesus sometimes spoke in parables, because He knew many of us, would just be waiting for the jewels, to be sitting on the top, and grab it. But He want us to really get into the Word, and dig the jewel out. And Bishop sure knows how to dig them out. ALL GLORY AND PRAISE GOES TO YOU GOD.✌❤🙏

I got baptized... Recieving spiritual experience... solidarity eyes of the heart for his Love has never been questioned...

You’re not alone , I promise your heart will be in a better place . God closes doors that lead nowhere and opens new doors that will maximize your potential. You will exceed your limit of happiness and a new level of yourself will manifest .you will be lifted to highest you can be . No one can do this for you only God will do it. If you don’t see or hear God is because he’s removing all the outside noise from your mind and heart and eventually you will begin hear his voice and see him in the way you never have. Like Job you will say “ for I now know the lord”.

@Kaela Foss Be born again of water and Spirit: Man of God. Not woman of God but a man of God who dunks you under water completely declaring exactly, "I baptize you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." Titles baptism: "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit/Ghost for the remission of sins." Titles baptism is incomplete because it does not use the name of Jesus. Titles baptism is a modern day equivalent to John the Baptist's baptism. John The Baptist did not baptize using the name of Jesus, so we look to Acts 19: v1 thru v7 to see Paul completing our understanding that water baptism must be performed using the name of Lord Jesus. All the Apostles went out and performed miracles and water-baptisms using the name of Jesus Christ as well. The only way Matthew 28: v19 and Acts 19: v1 thru v7 and Acts 2: v38 can be reconciled is with the understanding Lord Jesus is Father Jesus. Lord Jesus is Father, Son, and Spirit. Lord Jesus has hundreds of titles, more titles than any other leader in history. Father, Son, and Spirit are just three of Jesus' titles. Before you go to that man of God, ask him if he knows the difference between titles baptism and baptism in the name of Jesus. If he doesn't then find someone who does. Apostolic Pentecostals know what is proper water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. You don't have to consider yourself an Apostolic Pentacostal just because you were water baptized by an Apostolic Pentacostal minister. You are being born again into Lord Jesus and His church, and Apostolic Pentacostal ministers are the few men of God who understand the importance of using the name of Jesus. Lord Jesus was, is and will always be a Jew Who said follow Him. Lord Jesus never talked about groups or denominations. And it was people in Antioch who first called Lord Jesus' followers Christians. So the first Christians were Jews. And we gentiles who are born again of water and Spirit are grafted into the Jewish faith and can just as easily be broken off and cast into the fire if we don't produce good works. So, after you are born again of water and Spirit, and you want to call yourself a Messianic-Jew, or an Apostolic Pentacostal, or a Christian ... so be it. I choose to call myself a born again believer in Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is the one and only Lord God of Heaven. Remember, the oldest doctrine in the Holy Bible: God is one. Amen. And either before [Acts 10: v44] or after [Acts 19: v6] your water baptism of repentance, you will receive a second and separate Spiritual baptism. Once you have both water and Spiritual baptisms ... Congratulations, consider yourself born-again of water and Spirit. But that is just a beginning, it's not a guaranteed ticket to heaven because a person can always walk away from their faith by their own free will. Or just as tragic, a person's free will can let them backslide into sin and lukewarm-ness. To avoid those dangers we must be in an ongoing relationship with Lord Jesus, meaning a cooperation. Among other things, we must study and share His truth of the Holy Bible with others. When we sin after being water baptized we are to have our feet washed as commanded and demonstrated by Lord Jesus at the Last Supper. As well. Fasting from food and other things, along with prayer is a must. As singers would say, in harmony. Amen. Don't tell people you're "saved." Instead tell people you began-to-be-saved, are being-saved, and will-be-saved as when Lord Jesus returns in glory or He calls one home before that incredible event.

Linda Glover... I know the feeling. Rejection has been in my life since childhood. I clearly remember in Kindergarten. It has gripped and stangnatied my life in many areas. It has been difficult to have good friendships, hold a decent job,molested, raped etc..... I became so bitter, angry, insecure, combative, quick tempered and suffered from very low self esteem to the point that I just became tired of being rejected abd contemplated suicide. It has been a journey, but GOD is in the process of peeling off the layers of pain and hurt. I am in the process of being healed. The LORD had to touch my heart to "Forgive" those that hurt and abuse me. It has been no way, shape or form easy, but GOD had to take control and help me because I was just simply tired. I'll certainly keep you lifted in my prayers!!

Three years ago October 2016 I completely broke down and I know now why!! My son gave me the gift that nobody could give me and that is knowing God, my heart that was broken over my son lead me to GOD so I thank this rejection for leading me to GOD and on this journey over three years now I realized the blessing that was in the toughest and hardest thing that happened to me in my life!! I stand strong in my faith and GOD has lifted me up and my Son has given me a beautiful gift of building a personal relationship with GOD. This was beautiful TD and GOD is so GOOD!! AMEN!!!

I am wrecked...let go for a second time from a job I loved and gave so much to grow it. Out of work now since Oct 30. 2 Interviews that were bogus, and so many resumes sent! Faith fumes in the car. Lost about 12lbs. I am the girl who talks others off the ledge! I normally the one others look to for enduring and unconditional love. Once again Bishop, as you've done to my life a few times you've brought HOPE to this dry and weary soul. I've been so betrayed, left for dead and I just don't know HOW rent is going to be paid... Alas, I will rest in the fact that you Bishop know what I am feeling, and are proof positive that this season shall end and I will grow into another level of faith in God. I don't care HOW. I do care that My God Knows exactly where I am and what I am feeling! I do know that God will do it again! (Do you understand Bishop? I mean REALLY understand that you deliver such messages that cause me to come out of depression so deep that I just don't care if live or die? "Divine Strategies '97 AZUSA Full" I came across in 2012. On my deathbed I stood up and regained strength! No, I am not suicidal, never. I have been where I just literally don't care. THEN POOF! Here comes a word from Heaven delivered by you...I am a snotty hot mess right now. I, DON'T, CARE! I am a snotty hot mess with HOPE!)

You know child of God, sometimes it seem like when going through that God has us on an ironing board trying to press out every wrinkle. It took me awhile to understand Gods purpose when we go through things. He is simply trying to make us stronger where we were weak at. That's why when you go through they say examine yourself for weakness. Because we'll never be perfect, so we'll always find a weakness. And most times we're unaware of our own weakness. And you need to ASK your holy spirit within you to help you to strengthen where you are weak at. So God gets the glory. I've been where you're at, like what am I here for, after tiring of problems. The Bishop has been very instrumental of helping pulling me up out that slump. Still today most mornings I have to hear his sermon, to help me get my day started. I kind of stopped my depression and crying when he speaks about stop your pity party, and I did. Actually the devil blinds us from the many things we have to be thankful for, and the many victories God has brought you out of. If you have nothing but the air coming out your nose be thankful for that., but we know there are many other things. God loves a thankful attitude. I go around thanking God all day, taking nothing for granted. Just stick with God , things will get better. You'll see. Stay strong ✌❤🙏
