Many of us have been rejected and judged and misunderstood because they have not been shown what we know.
It’s simply because the Father has a higher purpose for us.
I speak to the outcasts of Zion. To those despised and rejected by many even our own brothers and sisters.
Be encouraged, because some people had to be removed from your life because of many reasons. Some because of limited understanding and vision. They shall no longer be allowed by the Lord to be used by the enemy to judge what they don’t understand.
Walk on beloved of God and keep your focus on the Shepherd.
Even God is not welcome many times in His own church or His own creation because they don’t like His ways.
It’s because they cannot come where Father is now taking you as with Peter, James and John. These were taken and allowed to go where the other disciples were not permitted.
Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Most of the Father’s children reject God’s purpose for them because they choose to settle for earthly pleasure and the temporary delusive satisfaction of fleshly pursuits and desire. Most as with Esau forfeit their kingdom birthright for the lentil pot of fleshly indulgence.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
ALL THE REJECTION THAT YOU GO THROUGH AND BEEN THROUGH SIMPLY AMPLIFIES GOD’S PERFECT ACCEPTANCE OF YOU.
Matthew 10: 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee you into another: for truly I say to you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. (Compare)
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you on the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear you not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
