FEELINGS OF REJECTION
This is one of the devil’s favourite weapons and that is make a person feel rejected, to feel abandoned, to feel lonely but it is not always the case that a person is rejected. To reject is to discard something or someone as unwanted or defective. When a person is rejected, great pain is often the result. A fiancé is rejected when the engagement is broken; a student is rejected by his or her peer group; a child is rejected by a parent; in each case the consequences are devastating.
Being rejected:
How should we respond when we feel rejected?
O Adonai Elohiym, there are two things I beg of You and I will be able to face You. Remove Your hand from me and don’t terrify me with Your awesome presence. -- Job 13:20-21. Job was especially upset because YHVH was silent, giving no reasons for his suffering. Job misinterpreted YHVH’s silence as rejection and once again he said that it was not his suffering that bothered him as much as this apparent rejection. If YHVH had given reasons however, Job’s faith would probably not have been stretched and strengthened.
Remember that YHVH’s servants often experience rejection:
Then Yeshua told them, ‘A prophet is honoured everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.’ -- Mark 6:4. Yeshua said that a prophet [in other words, a worker for YHVH] is never honoured in his hometown. But that doesn’t make his work any less important. A person doesn’t need to be respected or honoured to be useful to YHVH. If friends, neighbours or family don’t respect your gospel work, don’t let their rejection keep you from serving YHVH.
Remember to encourage one another in times of rejection:
The disciples were sent out in pairs. Individually they could have reached more areas of the country, but this was not Moshiach’s plan. One advantage in going out by two’s was that they could strengthen and encourage each other, especially when they faced rejection. Our strength comes from YHVH, but He meets many of our needs through our teamwork with others. As you serve Christ, don’t try to go it alone.
Rejecting YHVH:
We sometimes trust human leaders more than we trust Elohiym:
Samuel called all the people of Israel to meet before Adonai at Mizpah. And he gave them this message from Adonai, the Elohiym of Israel: ‘I brought you from Egypt and rescued you from the Egyptians and from all of the nations that were oppressing you. But though I have done so much for you, you have rejected Me and said, ‘We want a king instead!’ Now therefore, present yourselves before Adonai by tribes and clans.’ -- 1 Samuel 10:17-19. Israel’s true king was YHVH, but the nation demanded another king. Imagine wanting a human being instead of YHVH as guide and leader! Throughout history, men and women have rejected YHVH and they continue to do it today. Are you rejecting YHVH by pushing Him aside and acknowledging someone or something else as your [king] or top priority? Learn from these stories of Israel’s kings and don’t push YHVH aside.
We sometimes reject YHVH by trusting our own judgment more than we trust Him:
Only fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no Elohim.’ They are corrupt and their actions are evil; no one does good! -- Psalm 14:1. The true atheist is either foolish or wicked; foolish because he ignores the evidence that YHVH exists or wicked because he refuses to live by YHVH’s truths. We become atheists in practice when we rely more on ourselves than on YHVH. The fool mentioned here is someone who is aggressively perverse in his actions. To speak in direct defiance of YHVH is utterly foolish according to the Bible.
We reject YHVH when we reject His offer of Salvation:
Then Yeshua asked them, ‘Didn’t you ever read this in the Scriptures?’ -- Matthew 21:42. In trying to reach us with His love, YHVH finally sent His own Son. Yeshua’ perfect life, His Words of truth and His sacrifice of love are meant to cause us to listen to Him and to follow Him as Adonai. If we ignore YHVH’s gracious gift of His Son, we reject YHVH Himself.
How can I recover from rejection in my life?
Isaiah 53:1-12: -- He was despised and rejected… We turned our backs on Him. As the prophet looks forward to Moshiach, who would be despised and rejected by others, we know we have a Saviour who understands. 1 Peter 5:7: -- Give all your worries and cares to YHVH, for He cares about what happens to you. Don’t try to deal with rejection by yourself. Bring your concerns to YHVH. John 14:15-26: -- When the Father sends the Counsellor as My representative and by the Counsellor I mean Ruach HaKodesh; He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I myself have told you. Invite Ruach HaKodesh into your life. Yeshua promised Ruach HaKodesh would stay with us forever. Romans 8:38: -- I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Remember that, though others may reject us, nothing can separate us from YHVH’s love!
Will YHVH ever reject me?
John 4:1-26: -- Yeshua replied, ‘If you only knew the gift YHVH has for you and who I am, you would ask Me and I would give you living water!’ Yeshua did not reject the sinful Samaritan woman, but rather offered her living water. John 8:1-11: -- ‘Didn’t even one of them condemn you?’ ‘No, Adonai,’ she said. And Yeshua said, ‘Neither do I. Go and sin no more.’ YHVH rejects the sin without rejecting the sinner. John 6:37: -- Those the Father has given Me will come to Me and I will never reject them. Adonai accepts all who come to Him in faith.
Thought for Today: Wednesday June 18
It is a fact that Adonai Yeshua is my Light and my Salvation. So, why should I be afraid of anything? YHVH is able, indeed He is anxious, to deliver us from all sorts of trouble. He wants to give us strength to overcome the temptation to sin that separates Him from those He Loves. He wants to give us the courage to confront our problems… and then to find the practical wisdom and help we need to deal with them. Whatever you fear today, ask YHVH Elohiym to you turn it over to Him. “Our ADONAI is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1)

[39] And when the captain, who was standing opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of Elohim!”
Luqas (Luke) 23:39-47 TS2009
[39] And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of Him, saying, “If You are the Messiah, save Yourself and us.” [40] But the other, responding, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear Elohim, since you are under the same judgment? [41] And we, indeed, rightly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this One has done no wrong. [42] And he said to יהושע, “Master, remember me when You come into Your reign.” [43] And Yeshua said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, [coma belongs here]🔍you shall be with Me in paradise.” [gan eden is different than the heavens - hashamayim] [44] And it was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land, until the ninth hour. [45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two. [46] And crying out with a loud voice, Yeshua said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” And having said this, He breathed His last. [47] And the captain, seeing what took place, praised Elohim, saying, “Truly, this Man was righteous!” (This is a firsthand witness Captain Cornelius a Centurion)
Acts 10 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was the Italian Regiment, a devout man, and one who feared Elohim with all his house, who gave tzedakah (giving kind deeds) to the people, and always prayed to Elohim (the G-d of Yisra’ĕl). At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of Elohim coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!" He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your tzedakah (righteous deeds) have gone up for a memorial before Elohim. v22 ..."Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous (tzedakah) man and one who fears Elohim, and well 🔎spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a Holy angel to invite you [Kĕpha] to his house, and to listen to what you say." v24..Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends. 25 Now when it happened that Kĕpha entered, Cornelius met him, fell down✨️at his feet✨️ and worshiped him. 26 But Kĕpha raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself am also a man."⚠️✨️ 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together. 28 Then he said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing [Rabbinically unlawful but not Biblical] for a man who is a✨️Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation,✨️but Elohim has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean [common]. 29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?" 30 So Cornelius said, "Four days ago, I was✨️fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your✨tzedakah remembered in the sight of Elohim. v34 Then Kĕpha opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that Elohim✨does not show favoritism; 💡35 but in✨every nation he who fears✨️Him and✨works righteousness (tzedakah)✨is acceptable to Him.✨44)..the Ruach HaKodesh fell on all those who heard the word. v48 And he commanded them to be immersed in the name (singular) of the master [Yeshua].
📜Zeḵ 8:23
Study Acts 10 the Roman Cornelius was a firsthand witness, a believer who feared YeHoVaH (keeping the Creators reckoning of time - moedim), fasting and praying to the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, doing good deeds (tzedakah) to others. Cornelius was found righteous (tzedakah) in the eyes of YeHoVaH.
✨️The Roman Cornelius was found righteous not by the Torah, or the works of an 'oral torah; talmud,' but by the good deeds taught in the Torah and the fear of Elohim. He found the faith (learned obedience through the standard of righteous behavior) through Yeshua. Cornelius was✨️given every reason to trust YeHoVaH, so he believed. Cornelius was called, and he took action. He answered the call as instructed.
We aren't talking about the talmud 'Oral law' or "Oral Torah.'' Man made rules and regulations are called 'takanot,' the traditions of men, all man-made religion. Modern-day Judaism is ancient Phariseeism.
💡Cornelius separated himself and his household from the pagan traditions of Rome, and he did not convert to Rabbinical Judaism. 💡He understood the order and placed himself under the authority of Mashiach. He had Messianic Jewish brothers in faith (h'ma'aminim the believers) helping him understand the Torah. That also means he had Jewish brothers in faith✨️praying for him and his household.✨️ This news reached the heavens!
💡Cornelius was found righteous (tzedakah) in the✨️eyes of YeHoVaH!🕊 The Ruach was poured out on his entire household!
YeHoVaH warns us in His Torah not to make any covenants with the nations study Exo.34;35:1-2. He warns us not to partake of any of the nations covenant meals.
YeHoVaH does not make Covenants with Gentiles. ✒️📜Make no mistake the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh was poured out because of the works of Yeshua.
