Personal Fears

[JCMS]

My fears...

Rejection by the Lord.

Not being a good Christian.

Not making it into Heaven, and going to hell instead.

... And roaches. They creep me out.

I am terribly afraid of rejection and of being alone/abandonment.

Wow, I guess I am not alone with this fear of rejection thing. Might be an idea to do a word study / bible study on the fear of rejection? Am I allowed to suggest that? I am not a board mod.

You know, with this rejection issue - I gave that up to the Lord because I came from a single parent family (Dad) who did not give out compliments and affirmations at all and it was difficult, which turned one into a people pleaser..

But once I gave my heart to the Lord and through my Christan walk, I have discovered that there is only one opinion that matters and that's God's.

I was a terrible people pleaser to the point of agreeing with everything and I was absolutely hating myself inside because of it..the real me was being suppressed for the sake of being in the "good books" with folk and having them like/approve of me.

It has been a journey though and of course there are days when I want to please everybody but I try to stay focused on Jesus (He's my role model) and remember that everything I say and do should be pleasing to Him first and foremost.

You know, I think rejection is a lot bigger problem than we think it is. I went through Deliverance a few months ago, to get rid of the spirits of fear, doubt, etc. The lady who did my Deliverance said that my "stronghold" is rejection,and that it had come in at conception. She told me that my parents did not want me.

How she knew that was beyond me, because I had not told her-she said that the Holy Spirit revealed it to her.

She also said that the spirit of rejection was like an octopus....it had many other spirits attached to it......like fear, condemnation, doubt, etc.

And when you really think about all those things....each one is attached to REJECTION.

It's a basic human need - to be loved and with company.

Yes we are not alone when we have Christ but I can understand the physical aspect of not wanting to be alone.

That my life won't count for anything . . . . as in, the obituary will be only about 3 sentences long.

It already has counted for something. You are a strong woman of wit and intelligence. You have enormous patience and devotion to a child who has struggled. You are a daughter of a King. A wife and mother - a sister and friend. You are a teacher, a nurse - you are brave and honest. You love the Lord with your whole heart and have trusted Him..... and I've never seen you or touched your hand.... and those are the things that I know of you. God Bless you, my sister.
