è Review: Progression of bondage …. Genesis 3
è Our inner spiritual house: Spirit/Soul
• “Under the influence”; the principle of transfer
è The spirit of rejection; (a stronghold)
• Rooted in lies: lies about God; lies about you!
• Symptoms: defensive; internal energy to impress; imaginations/projections of what others are thinking; striving to please; driven to “fix”, control, make others happy; anger; eventual resignation
è Breaking the spirit of rejection
• See the issue; face it
• Rooted in control vs. submission
• Devil lied about the Father’s intentions. (Genesis 3:4,5) (Remember God’s desire was intimacy …. Imparting His image, love, blessing, dominion through Partnership)
• Apply the truth
• Make His Word final Authority
• Already perfectly accepted in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17)
• Affirm His/your authority by resisting the devil and the spirit/demon of rejection. (James 4:7)
• Be alert and responsive to the enemy’s agenda in your thought-life (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
è Accept Reinforcement
• Allow/call on others to assist you!
• Prayer; counsel; accountability
• Warriors of deliverance
★★ One reason we don’t accept people for who they are is because we secretly want them to be who we want them to be.
“When I let go of who I wanted you to be, and just let you “be”, you completely flourished! And I reveled in the knowledge that you are perfect just the way you are!!” Unknown
