I say this humbly and in love. Please don’t interrupt John, Lisa. I can’t count how many times he was saying something but didn’t get to finish because he was cut off. This is something you really need to work on. Cutting people off is not loving. Or respectful. I say this in love! ❤
My mother told me when i was little "no one will ever love you" i carried that in my heart for 40 odd years. Thankfully God chose to set me free from that & help me to realise someone does love me, unconditionally & whole heartedly, his name is Jesus. Now I'm just sad for her because she & my entire family are still living under the deception of satan. I pray one day he will have mercy on her & set her free too. 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me of this! I have rejected myself all my life, but at time I trusted God and gave it all to him. Watching this today, reminded me that I do not have to beg for seek others acceptance ever again! Amen.
These videos are such a blessing! I’m 14 and to keep my mind filled with Godly things instead of worldly things, I listen to these conversations on the daily. These help me throughout the day to meditate on the Word and expand my thinking into the right direction. And sometimes I notice God speaking to me through you guys! God bless you guys abundantly ❤
I also feel the spirit of rejection has invaded my marriage from my trauma from childhood through my life my mind is being attacked with obsessive thoughts the more I go to God it seem its gets harder please 🙏
My sister and I were the Christian girls people picked on us all the time but we never stopped being kind . It eventually worked in our favor because our entire class outside of my sister and I stole stuff and our teachers knew we didn’t because we were Christian. I need that fire back for God where doing the right things and living on fire for Christ is everything. I have constant rejection every church I’ve been to. I isolate myself.
Hi all, im just starting to get deeper into youth ministry as a leader, and im just faced with rejection from one of our youths who was so promising, and they're going through a season of Rebellion. This is encouraging.
Wooow!!! I really wanted to hear what Mrs. Lisa was saying about the rejection of starting something new. That's exactly where I'm at in my life. God is trying to teach me how to not allow anything outside of Him to challenge the validity of what He leads me to start. But the apprehension of rejection causes me to not give 100% of my efforts, time, and attention to what God leads me to start. I need help.
Kindness makes such an impact! John, your story about saying good morning to that woman brought me to tears. My heart aches for people in this world who are going through a tough time without experiencing the love of Jesus. That good morning probably made her day! God bless you for your kind heart.
I just started listening to your channel and as a PK who is now an adult , and never felt like I fit in the church or the corporate world , rejection feels constant. And any failure I had seemed illuminated. Your words bring me hope for the future ❤ thank you!
Thank you! This has been a pattern in my life, however, recently I was fired from a job I loved to do. The pain of this loss was I was fired by my manager who is also our associate pastor. What made this so painful was it was based on false allegations made by someone who wanted my position (actually they got that a few months ago) that apparently wasn't enough, so they wanted me out of the business completely. For me the position had been about service and the person is not a believer. I have wrestled the last three weeks with this. It has been devastating emotionally and financially because I also support my aging mom. It's just been a very difficult month. But I have to say, this podcast has ministered to me and I'm seeking God's direction and I'm seeking for God to break this pattern of rejection as well. Bless you both and yes thank you again.
I love Lisa's analogy explaining the difference between being friends "with the world" vs. "to the world." I've never heard it explained that way before. I've been a Christian most of my life but have always been confused by the Bible telling us to hate the world while telling us in John 3:16 that "God so loved the world..." I hate to say it, but I can understand why some non-believers say the Bible is full of contradictions. Thank God for opening our spiritual eyes to understand. Praise God for breaking the stronghold of rejection off my life. I've been praying for this for many years.
Rejection is a spirit...that's what i learned,seeing all the manifestations around my wife...all her live it was rejection...she is a survivor of abortion,her dad tried to kill her with a knife in the womb...her mother being beaten and kicked ....but my wife survived...she met Jesus when she was 3 and 7....and now she is a prophetes....and again you see rejection all around her...but now we know it is a spirit,she can look at it with another perspective...it is not the human that is speaking rejection,but the spirit /demon,within that human...so now she can still love that human that speaks filthy about her...but in her thoughts she fights with that demon.Love your teachings John!...keeping me focussed and get me kicked under the butt sometimes.Love your book and presentations about the awe of God...God bless from the Netherlands and i will definitely get the app!!
I'm struggling with being ghosted by my wife, my father rejected me and passed away a few months ago. My life have fell apart and its all too much and I feel destroyed. I'm struggling and that prayer hit me hard. Thank you!!
Every word you have spoken mirror images my life and the amount of rejection I have endured, my reactions to rejection, including rejecting myself and pushing others away, rejecting others as I feel rejected. This massage I needed to hear today more than ever! I’ve felt rejected my whole life! Thank you for your prayer…which i so desperately needed today! God spoke to me through you today! Thank you and please bring on part 3!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is so helpful. The verse about the dust that we should shake it off is so powerful. I've never seen from this perspective. So simple and practical: SHAKE IT OFF! This is such a blessing to my life and to all who are listening to this. We need this more! It is amazing to see how you grow and helped others to do so. Blessings and love❤
Wooww!!!! Really needed this At this point of life I am facing rejection!!! Like literally in midst of rejection from all sides . As a pastor’s wife it is really difficult,doing ministry in midst of rejection is really a challenge but God is using people like you to actually strengthen young pastors like us . You guys are really doing a great work Thank you !!
Great video and very insightful, I think we all should know that God is good and sometimes he pushes you to places and opportunities you never knew you needed. I just got to realize that trading comes with a lot of benefits And I have just bought my first house through it. As a beginner I was scared of loosing my savings but l'm glad I took the bold step that is now favoring me.
Yes please How does this trading stuff work? I'm really interested but I just don't know how to go about it. I heard people really make it huge trading
It's not as easy as you think my friend. As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by Maymuun J Choi a widely known crypto consultant
But I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and has brought many investors down, you need someone with the right strategies and expertise to do the work for you, I recommend Maymuun j Choi
Hello! I enjoy the topics. Very insightful. I do find it difficult to listen to due to John oftentimes not being able to finish a thought or statement without being cut off.
Thank you for teaching me how to overcome rejection. On another note, the Holy Spirit has taken me through dealing with worry, and just this weekend, the Holy Spirit said to me, list what is making you worry. Give me your worries, and take My peace. I had a vision of me handing over the list of worry and taking the peace offered. But I have suffered rejection for decades. And I've tried to overcome and accept and forgive. I've forgiven the people who rejected me. But the gaping wound was still there. Rejection has not stopped. I look back on my life and I wonder if some of the rejection was based on my actions because of the symptoms of Bipolar I've had for decades. If the behaviours are symptoms bipolar was unknowingly leading people to reject me. Or if it was that people just did not want to be around me. Thank you for acting on the request by the Holy Spirit and praying. And telling me how this wound, that I've carried for so many years, can be healed. I accept God's word to replace those acts and words that wounded me like an arrow shot straight into my soul. Well this is a long message. But I just had to get it out of me.
am I the only person that feels like Lisa rushes the show ? I would love for you guys to show down , when we tune in to watch ,we have the time to watch ...we are not in a rush . I love your channel but PLEASE SHOW DOWN :)
I so needed your words today. So many directions in my year of changes have felt like closed doors, mis-steps...But God. I have words that keep me hanging on. ❤
Thank you Lisa and John. Love your show. The one thing I know is I am in the beloved. Jesus is a friend that will never leave us or for us. Praise the Lord for his mercy and his grace.
I definitely going to use the word crickets instead of ghosting... lol. I just heard the word Psalms 40- pslams 45. Dealing with being a people pleaser, discouragement and disappointments... I am exhausted alot, people shame me and treat me and my family really badly. We have days we feel really lost but we keep going... wow, the Lord helps us to keep going... my husband (whose profile I am using to chat to you now) has just gotten really ill and it's brought more shame... he is so strong but I feel I can't even be close to him on that level because I constantly fighting off things or worried about fighting off things the right way. And in truth, I really miss the Lord... I know His there all the time and He is so good... but for some reason I afraid or prideful or ashamed or just tired or even angry... i feel empty and sad... something is wrong... but this prayer you prayed is helping me to reach out to God... because I love Him and miss him so much, I am His and He is mine. I am afraid with all the stress... I will become angry all the time, I will look at the negative... I miss my children and my husband will disappear into the background. I need more then one prayer request... I need the Living God
I asked God to put up a sermon or something that is perfect for me and this is the first thing that popped up on utube and it was every bit of the perfect message I asked God for. Thank you.
This was VITAL!! Thank you so much all the way from 🇪🇹 I have one comment though, you guys were a little bit fast; I wish you could go through the topic unhurried for it is major. Thank you again 🙏 We love you
My wife abandoned me and our two kids after ten years of marriage. She threw us away like trash. My kids were being abused and I never even knew until she left us. At first I was so devastated and I didn’t want to live. I never had pain this deep. I’m healing but your message is a great encouragement.
Super timely as I'm trying to face the emotions that have surfaced with so much fear of rejection my entire life. It's paralyzing sometimes! Hearing your encouragement to apply Matt 10:14 to this area and shake off the rejection, to not carry it into the next relationship, the next season, etc is so empowering! Yes, I have a pattern, a root of rejection and I need to command the strongholds be pulled down in the Name of Jesus! I've also been dealing with the heartbreak of seeing my grown children reject what they were spiritually raised up in and feeling like a failure as a mom. I literally journaled those words about them rejecting this past week! Thank you for the encouragement that their story isn't over! Continuing to pray!
Thank you so much for your podcast. I listen regularly. My sister was an overweight little girl through the seventies. She was persecuted unprovoked so much. She's a sensitive individual and fights shame and self sacrifice constantly. I'm sending her this link. John, I felt the spirit touch me when you spoke. Please pray for my sister to look up reach out and to listen to this message. She's a tormented soul. She's been an alcoholic and has turned from that. She wants to do better but can't seem to even hold her head up. She's recently started turning angry and bitter. Very unlike her natural loving self. As she reacts more negatively, more rejection from ppl at church has taken place and She's isolating severely. 😢🙏
Thank you for being real. I love how real Lisa and you are when speaking to each other and not demanding the other to put on a perfect plastic Christian mask. It is so refreshing to watch the two of you interact with one another.
I love love with john and lisa. You guys are a power couple and so so cute together. I love your dynamic!! Most of all, the word of God is so powerful!!
You both bless my husband and I so much,, we’ve listened to you both since the mid 90s!!! We need more word on this topic ,,, there’s so much rejection happening in the times we’re living in and in the CHURCH and families ,,, it hurts ,, we’ve experienced it in our family and our church as pastors & travel ministers ,,, thank you for your obedience and your faithfulness to our Jesus!!! We love you!
To avoid Rejection ( Matthew 5 n Romans 12:9-21) : forgive n rejoice and move on. You are blessed when people insult you, reject you- so forgive n rejoice. You are blessed: Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. How to move on : forgive n rejoice n move on. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 18:15-17 If Your Brother Sins Against You 🔆When you forgive them and share the truth in love. But if they accept and rejoice. 🔆but if they don't accept - leave them in God's love n forgiveness ( love them from a distance) - don't have bitterness but have forgiveness removes bitterness. 💗Colossians 3:13 Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Ephesians 4:31-32 If you sin and you go ask them forgiveness - if they accept it ( that's ok, that's fine) - that means they have accepted it. But if you go ask forgiveness - they haven't said anything - leave it in love n forgiveness 💜 - you have done your part of forgiving n left in God's love n forgiveness. Love the lost but saying No( self control ) to worldly passions. Boundaries: 🔸Saying Yes or No is not a sin Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned. That means you are not rude or judging them and it's not a sin saying Yes or No. 🔸SELF CONTROL means saying No with love n truth. For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you. Say Yes or No: 🌼 Saying Yes or No - is not a Sin. 🔆not sure / confused/ false - No ⭐sure/ truth - Yes ⭐No : it is self control and fruits of the spirit ( good fruits - Heavenly wisdom) Getting rejected : Due to insults - forgive n rejoice. Due to doing good ( avoiding sin- worldly passions ) - saying No and sharing truth in love.
Awesome video! Going through a break up right now. I definitely felt rejected and less valued. Your podcast has been helping my spirt heal, thank you John & Lisa
Thank you and I love you all and your family. I do not have much access to community and you speak so much to my spirit. I pray God continues your ministry as long as possible. You have been such a blessing and gift to me ❤
Can you maybe do another video to talk though walking out of this? I totally resonated! I really appreciate the part that about tearing down strong holds. Are there more tips? You touched on behaviours that cause others to reject us. Does that get changed through understanding God’s love or is there more? I am afraid to engage in certain relationships right now but I know God doesn’t want me to give up on them but I am keeping distance which isn’t great. How do I build healthy relationships again? Also thank you Lisa on touching on mom guilt. I battle that as a mom despite my best efforts we are struggling in some areas and that compounds the discouragement with outside relationships. Thanks
John and Lisa, I am so thankful for you both sharing your lives so openly. Your honesty and humility about your challenges are helping me so much and it is now starting to help my family too. Today was a hard day for me and John when you prayed for us I felt like you were praying for me!! I love you both and your family too.
Thank you so much for this video. This ministered so much to me especially when John just jumped into that Spirit-led prayer. Thank you so much. God bless your ministry.
I deal with rejection quite a bit. I get really stuck on little things I do wrong. And feel like God is rejecting me for those things. Even though my mind knows it's not true, my heart still feels the rejection. Please pray for me brothers and sisters.
I feel like God was strongly in this episode and I am glad you put it out. At the same time I agree with the other comment that said it felt rushed and going over to many things too quickly - your previous episode on rejection worked better in that regard.
I was the one struggling with valuing myself, I’m the one you felt the Holy Spirit speak to. You have no idea what this means to me. Please stranger pray for me if you see this. I’m so rejected and miserable in life right now. Thank you.
What about when you feel as if everyone around you rejects it? I constantly try to stay in tune with God and share about him but I get zero communication from others when I try to bring it up. I have no one in my family who goes to church, no friends my fast is bad, but I changed. Now I feel so isolated.
Guys these teaching are wonderful and much needed but can I give a feedback. If you guys can give a few seconds after each powerful bomb/revelation you drop so it can sink in and we can munch on them a bit. Thank you so much and may the Lord continue to bless you.
Hey John have you ever thought of tongues as the language of creattion? What language was God speaking when he said Let there be life? Team Jesus Ministers u tube why did God create air? Sound waves of authority are only for those who breathe it!
