Rejection

Steve,

You are in the "process", you aren't done yet. There may be some kinks to work out...it is truly that way for us all. Don't listen to those negative things from anyone. You are going to have to face more of that if you continue to be a follower of Christ, and God will give you the strength to stand firm in your faith.

God bless,
chuck

Steve,

I recently went 10 years without any sign of God's presence. When I first started learning the truth my pastor told me that I was wrong and my beliefs would only lead me to despair. Those words haunted me for those 10 years. I thought he must have been right. Now I know he wasn't right. God did not reject me. Those years in 'the desert" were a necessary part of my journey.

Don't listen to the lies. Our God is faithful.

1 Thessalonians 5
 23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Hi Steve


Regarding God's plan and intention:

Here is what Ray wrote in one of his e-mail replies to a person named Alex..... I also needed to re-ponder this awesome liberating message of hope and direction :)

...We must distinguish between God's "will" as a noun meaning His ultimate purpose and destination of things, and God's "plan" to achieve His "will". It is God's will that mankind live righteously, but it is His purpose, plan, and intention that they first live UNrighteously. The first is a necessary precursor to achieve the second. God commands men to do the impossible. This too is a necessary precursor for man's learning. We must be humbled in our utter inability to do God's perfect will, before we will ever repent  of our weakness and wickedness. And understand that God does not force us to sin. We sin voluntarily from our hearts,and in so doing it is only right and good that we should be punished for sinning. Our hearts and minds must be converted from what they are into the Image of God's Son.

God be with you,..........."

I know this clarification has done so much good for me and it is a real pleasure to re-read it and revise my acceptance again of this powerful message and revelation!  Hope you enjoy it and that it will help you....

I have been really down to earth lately and have found that my relationship Jesus have been very much on the poor side. I have found that my prayers have been wasted and I don't know where I am with God anymore. I know that I am a sinner and I know according to scriptures that all have sinned and falln sort of the glory of God.
A good brother of mine have been praying for me and he told me that I have been rejected by God and said that I need to seek before God for mercy and grace. He told me as he was praying, The Holy Spirit instructed him not to pray for me anymore, and that I have been rejected by God. He said that God showed him Samson, how God have rejected Samson.
I don't know anymore and I have been repenting and asking God forgiveness since and whatever comes into my mind. I know that we serve a jealous God and He loves us unconditionaly.
I am confused and felt very hurt. ???
please could anyone help me and find out if it is all true?
God Bless
Stevie

Steve,

You've received so much help and encouragment that I feel the sentiments of everyone here just reading the responses.  Truly, now at this point in your life is where God wants you to be.  Sometimes God, eventhough ever present makes his presence not as known so we can cry out to him and seek him.  God wants relationship and he like a young lover desire us to chase him and grab hold of him and to love him.  If he always manifested his presence in mighty and personal ways over time we'd become bored...even with God.  God knows best and he has great things in store for you and your life.  Remember Jerimiah 29:11.  He got some big plans for you brother.

Stevie,

If God has rejected you, then you wouldn't feel any desire for Him. He does the drawing. If you feel a drawing toward God, it's from Him, and He has not rejected you.

Whatever spirit told your friend to stop praying from you wasn't speaking for God.

Many times I thought I had "sinned away my day of grace" before I found Bible-Truths. I would try to pray and felt as if the heavens were brass, that my prayers weren't getting any farther than the ceiling. Even that God was laughing at me (Proverbs 1:26).

Were you a believer/Christian before? Then God has promised to never leave you NOR FORSAKE YOU (Hebrews 13:5).

Even when we don't believe, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself (II Timothy 2:13).

God bless you, dear brother,
Sandy
