PROJECTION OF REJECTION.
THE TOOL OF FEAR ( LORD, HELP ME UNDERSTAND ME?)
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
CONSIDER, MEDITATE, RUMINATE THE DIFFERENCES IN A TOY AND A TOOL?
I have heard in the USA success is measured by WHO HAS THE MOST TOYS?
Others measure success by HOW EXPENSIVE THE TOYS ARE?
In the family and the church do we have more TOYS than TOOLS?
COME LET US REASON TOGETHER? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO I RAN ACROSS A WORD I HAD NEVER HEARD… RUMINATE.
So I did some studying and found a treasure chest in that word. I lived in the mountains of eastern Kentucky and I often heard a word used by the old timers: PONDER. I love to ponder, maybe King James calls the thought: MEDITATE.
Psalm 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
*Reason: The power of the mind to think and understand.
*Meditate: To spend time in quiet thought for Godly purposes, to relax and reflect.
*Ruminate: To think carefully and deeply…
A country person understands CHEW THE CUD… A cow eats the grass all day, and at dark the cow chews the grass all night.
MAY WE NEVER DESIRE TOYS MORE THAN TOOLS?
HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE YOUR BRAIN?
Does your mouth run when your brain is in neutral? WE CALL THIS FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE?
Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE BECOME WHAT WE PROJECT?
REVIEW: 3 WORDS TO REASON ON, TO RUMINATE, OR TO MEDITIATE ABOUT…
MANY PEOPLE DO NOT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK?
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
*AURA (OR-a) An energy field that is held to emanate (come out of) from a living being. Emit.
A subtle sense, the feeling that seems to come from a person, place or thing.
*FEAR: An unpleasant emotion caused by being aware of danger. To be afraid of something or someone.
To expect bad things, to worry. Alarm.
*REJECT, REJECTION: To refuse to believe, accept or consider. To decide not to do. To refuse to allow.
Disapprove, negative, withhold. Something that is not GOOD ENOUGH. To throw away, to throw out.
Who defines who you are?
THERE IS POWER IN FEAR…
Come let us reason. RUMINATE: DO WE THINK WITH OUR BRAIN? DO WE THINK WITH OUR HEART?
Do we understand what the greatest distance in the world could be?
18 inches may just be the greatest distance I know?
The distance between the brain and the heart? (On the average is 18 inches.)
RUMINATE: HAVE YOU EVER LIVED IN THE RIGHT FAMILY? YOU ARE RIGHT! SHE IS RIGHT! THE KIDS ARE RIGHT! THE DOG IS RIGHT! EVERYONE IS RIGHT! NO ONE IS EVER WRONG. (IN THEIR OWN EYES!)
There is a rule that I have found in 47 years of marriage. This rule varies in families, but this is true to mine.
My wife says: I FEEL … I say: I THINK…
I say: I think what you feel just does not make sense to me? How can you be so pretty and so dumb at the same time?
She answers: God made me that way! I said: What makes you feel that, that just is not LOGICAL?
She said: I am pretty so you would love me. I am so dumb that I would love you!!!
I THINK! MY WIFE FEELS!
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Most of the time I think with my head. Most of the time my dear wife thinks with her heart.
A GOOD MARRIAGE NEEDS A GOOD BRAIN AND A GOOD HEART TO FIND BALANCE. I THANK GOD THAT MY WIFE FEELS.
I AM RIGHT SOME OF THE TIME? SHE SAYS: SHE IS RIGHT MOST OF THE TIME?
FEAR IS A POISON THAT BREEDS AND PROJECTS AN AURA OF ANGER AND NEGATIVITY THAT WE CARRY HIDDEN DEEP WITH THE HEAD AND THE HEART. WE ARE PROJECTING REJECTION WITH OUR MOUTHS, ATTIITUDES AND DEEDS!
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
RUMINATE: Death AND life,.. not death OR life. If we honestly reason and meditate both powers are ACTIVE in the same tongue. ( WORDS--- we are talking not about the TONGUE, we are DISCUSING THE WORDS AND ATTITUDES WE DECLARE.)
In this lesson I want us to RUMINATE ON THE POWER OF THE BECOMING WHAT WE SPEAK AND FEAR.
THERE IS POWER IN REJECTION. SELF INDUCED SPIRITUAL LIFE OR DEATH PROJECTED BY THE TONGUE.
WE MUST LET THE HOLY SPIRIT OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEART AND REVEAL TO US THE THINGS WHICH OUR ENEMY HAS BURIED IN OUR HEARTS.
IF WE CARRY THESE ATTITUDES WE WILL LAUNCH MISSILES WITH OUR WORDS.
HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE WITH WORDS. REJECTED PEOPLE REJECT PEOPLE WITH WORDS...
These are the facts of daily life. The fear of THE HEART is projecting rejection and is killing good people.
DO WE KNOW THAT THE POWER OF REJECTION IS TERRIBLE? WOUNDED AND DYING???
BUT LET US RUMINATE THE FACTS THAT THE FEAR OF REJECTION IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT THAT WE ACCEPT AS THE NORM.
Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Proverbs 29:25 (MSG) The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in GOD protects you from that.
We are triune: --- SPIRIT--- SOUL--- BODY, today in the church we project the body and pleasure out ranks the spiritual.
We are 1. Physical 2. Mental 3. Emotional 4. SPIRITUAL.
We tend to focus on the TEMPORAL. GOD DESIRES US TO FOCUS ON THE ETERNAL.
Matthew 10:28 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.
WE PROJECT THE REAL AND THE UNREAL? FEAR CAN BE REAL OR IT CAN BE IMAGINED? WE CAN PROJECT WHAT WE DO AND NOT MEAN TO PROJECT WHAT WE ARE REALLY PROJECTING. FEAR BREEDS FEAR! REJECTION CAN DICTATE AND GROW FEAR THAT WILL HINDER OUR EMOTIONS AND SPIIRITUAL GROWTH.
What you fear must be FACED straight on…
There are a class of PEOPLE THAT FIGHT LIKE DON QUIXOTE: THEY ARE SO BUSY FIGHTING THE WIND MILLS AS ENEMIES…
SOMETHING IS HINDERING OUR WORK? WE PROJECT FEAR? AND DO NOTHING?
LET US REASON ABOUT THE FEAR OF LIONS? IMAGINARY LIONS CAN PROJECT? LIONS NEVER ROAMED THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM?
Proverbs 22:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Proverbs 26:13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
YET, THIS EXCUSE IS REAL FEAR ---OUR IMAGINATIONS CAN GROW AND GROW TO BE A BIG GIANT BECAUSE WE FEED IT.
DO YOU CARE? I HATE THE WORDS, I DON’T CARE? IF YOU REALLY DON’T CARE YOU CAN NOT BE A CHRISTIAN?
OUR EMOTIONS CAN KILL…
THIS ATTITUDE WAS NOT REAL EXCEPT TO THE ONE THAT WALKED THERE---IN THEIR IMAGINATION...
FEAR! FEAR, THAT I DON’T CARE.
FEAR THAT NO BODY LOVES ME CAN CONTROL YOUR FAITH AND KEEP YOU WEAK.
Fear listens to THE GIANT’s message 40 days, 2 times a day.
WE MUST BE SET FREE, LIBERATED FROM THE FEAR OF REJECTION!
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
ALL HUMANS GREAT AND SMALL FIGHT GIANTS OF FEAR… WE NEVER DESIRE TO LOSE FACE? OR BE REJECTED?
Remember when the beautiful lady danced before the King? She sought her BITTER MOTHER’S OPINION on what to ask of the King? She could have had anything up to ½ the Kingdom.
Mark 6:25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
It appears the King wanted to SAVE FACE in front of his court and his girlfriend rather than to be rejected in front of people? If he rejected the girls request, he FEARED REJECTION?
THE KING HAD A GREAT MAN AND PREACHER KILLED. THE WOMAN THOUGHT SHE COULD EFFECTIVELY KILL THE MESSAGE.
I believe the young dancing girl was never the same after taking the silver platter and seeing the Preacher’s head?
DO YOU WANT THE PREACHER’S HEAD?
RUMINATE: WE HAVE BEEN SET FREE, YET WE COME IN BONDAGE AGAIN… WE ARE FREE BUT WE HAVE A FEAR OF BEING REJECTED. I CAN’T LOVE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN LOVED… IS NOT TRUE.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:15 (MSG) This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Papa?"
SOME WILL HEAR THIS MESSAGE AND BE BLINDED BY THE LIGHT.
Some people remember their parents as being drunk many times. They fussed and fought all the time. So there was a fear in going to bed. They went to bed in fear and woke up feeling unwanted.
Early childhood SCARS CRIPPLE OUR FAITH AND THE FEELING OF WORTHINESS is hindered by the projection of rejection.
At school, you wore hand-me clothes? Others knew and whispered about you behind your back?
YOU HAVE LIVED WITH A WOUNDED, HURT OF PROJECTED REJECTION? THAT IN TURN GAVE BIRTH TO A FEELING OF AN ISOLATED SPIRIT?
YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU?
MANY YOUNG PEOPLE MADE THE OPTION MARRY YOUNG TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE? THEY WERE LOOKING TO OVERCOME THE FEELINGS OF BEING UNWANTED AND REJECTED?
DIVORCE IS FERTILE SOIL FOR THE PROJECTION OF REJECTION?
The husband feels rejected? The wife feels rejected?
We are raising thousands of children from divorced or broken homes STRAVING FOR AFFECTION and a show of emotion? The mom is screaming and yelling all the time. She does not love me? SHE SAYS I AM AN ACCIDENT?
The child is doomed to the trap of the projection of rejection. Tobacco? Legal pot? Drugs? Sex? Teen pregnancy?
The baby will love me?
CONCLUSION: HOW CAN WE LOSE? WE CAN FEEL SO UNWANTED? NO ONE DESIRES ME? WE PROJECT SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND LASH OUT IN ANGER AND DISRESPECT? People hate their jobs? There is not enough money? Debt is crushing families? We have projected REJECTION COMPLEXES THAT HAVE HAUNTED US MORE DAYS THAN WE WOULD BE WILLING TO ADMIT. We are oozing an AURA OF REJECTION. My partner is cold? We hate each other? As we reach out, come out of our shell, we grab someone just like us PROJECTING THEY ARE REJECTED. Then we ruminate on WHY? WHY ALL THIS COLDNESS? LIFE IS A MIRROR? WE SEE OURSELVES AS DESPISED AND REJECTED?
OUR REJECTION AND HURT CAUSES US TO PULL BACK INTO THE SHELL OF REJECTION.
Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23 (MSG) Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about; 24 See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life.
Come sweet Holy Spirit and expose how the REAL AND UNREAL SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF REJECTION can kill our potential! Hold someone near to you! Why fear saying I love you? Could the fear of rejection be killing the works of our faith?
May we arise against all odds and see that obstacles can be great opportunities to come lay at Jesus’ feet, broken and spilled out. GOD NEVER THROWS THE CLAY AWAY… HE MAKES IT AGAIN IF WE WOULD BUT ALLOW HIM.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 (MSG) So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?
