If You’ve Been Despised And Rejected More Lately
by Lonnie Mackley June 15th, 2017
Some of you may have noticed that your list of friends and family has become shorter as of late, and that the people that you love and cherish the most don’t seem to love and cherish you as much as they used to. There is a good reason for this, and it is because things are polarizing in the earth spiritually where a great divide is beginning to form between those that actually know God and who are getting closer to Him, and those that don’t want to know God and are moving further away from Him. The middle ground of toleration seems to have dissipated now and people are choosing sides.
LK 6:22 Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
Try not to take it personally if this is happening to you or get discouraged because nothing you’re doing is working with these people as though you must have failed them in some way. God allows His creation to choose what they want, and so must we as well. God has given many people a long period of grace to respond to His calling but since they have refused it He has pulled His grace back from many relationships that would just end up being a distraction and a hindrance during this last harvest. No grace means no place, so ultimately the only choice you may have is just to let them go.
PS 68:6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
But even if you do have to let people go, still pray for them and know that God is pursuing them 24 hours a day. They don’t call the Holy Spirit the “Hound of Heaven” for nothing. Also, know that God is about to give you many new people as family and friends that will be faithful and loyal to you and who do want God. These people will not stab you in the back or slander you, and they will seek to give rather than take. Many of them have been through much of what you have and they have lost family and friends that God is now replacing by giving “you” to them. So press forward and trust in God.
