Rejection Of The Holy Spirit (2)

Rejection

My Story of Rejection

my Bio father left my mom

being in crib mom went to Fairfield

mom moved to Walnut Creek

i live with my grandma for a year or 2

then she moved me down with her new boyfriend which became my step dad

YES I WAS A RED HEADED STEP CHILD LOL

which was weird for a young boy to live with a strange man

before it was just my mom and i against the world

Again rejection

then they had my two Sisters

and as much as hE always said he loved me just as much

im sorry but it jsut wasnt true and i could tell

rejection

mean while by bio father

would tell me he was coming to pick me up

and i would get so excited

and i would be sitting on the front porch with my bags packed

and he would just never show or if i was lucky he would call with some kind of excuse

not to mention he started another family

which was the reason he left my mom

and through the years i faced many more rejections from people and this fallen world we live in

and through my healing ive made people i love the most feel rejected

and created more rejection for them

as if they needed more

wounds and scars

Im not telling you this as a sob story so you can feel sorry for me

please dont

because God always uses Rejection in a mighty and Powerful way

Mark 12:1–12 (NIV)

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

“He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:

“ ‘The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone;

the Lord has done this,

and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.

Matthew 12:30–32 (NIV)

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:19 NIV

Do not quench the Spirit.
