On Rejection
(Shared — Jennifer Eivaz)

Hello friends,

I want to share something that speaks directly to a struggle many believers—especially prophets—face at different seasons of life: rejection.

Jennifer Eivaz makes a strong and necessary point when she says that many prophets need deliverance from rejection at certain points in their journey. This isn’t just about a bad attitude or hurt feelings. Rejection can become a spirit that must be dealt with if a prophetic word is going to flow from a pure place—if it is going to flow at all.

Just as important, we must come out of agreement with rejection so it no longer has access to us in the first place.

There are some things we need to watch for.

First, don’t take everything personally.
Many times we measure our worth through unrealistic perceptions of whether we are accepted or rejected by others. When we do that, we take things personally that were never meant to be personal. Our identity is in Christ, not in people’s responses. And it’s worth remembering—no one owes us anything.

Second, stop comparing yourself to others.
There is no comparison because you are uniquely you. Let others inspire you, but you don’t need to imitate their assignment. You have your own calling, your own timing, and your own lane.

Third, avoid rejection rhetoric.
This is subtle, and many of us have been guilty of it. It happens when you feel isolated or wounded and begin making prophetic-sounding statements that are actually birthed from pain. Statements like, “Get ready for people to leave you when God promotes you,” or, “To go up, you have to leave people behind.” While there can be an element of truth in these ideas, making declarations like this can actually reinforce rejection and bring us into agreement with it.

Here’s something we all need to get firmly settled:

Mistakes are opportunities.

Because prophets often carry a serious demeanor, mistakes can feel catastrophic. A missed word, a poor reaction, or a personal failure can lead to self-condemnation, self-rejection, and even the temptation to step away from one’s calling altogether.

But Scripture tells us that God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Yes, correction may be needed. Yes, growth is required. But mistakes do not disqualify you. Don’t reject yourself—learn, grow, and move forward.

A prophet understands the power of the Word of God, and it is the Word that delivers us from rejection. Our identity comes from God’s Word, not from the acceptance or rejection of people. The more we study, meditate on, and hold fast to Scripture, the more secure we become in who God says we are—and the better equipped we are to help others do the same.

Here are a few Scriptures to anchor your identity:

Lean not on your own understanding — Proverbs 3:5
You have the mind of Christ — 1 Corinthians 2:16
Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world — 1 John 4:4
If God is for you, who can be against you — Romans 8:31
God loves you — Zephaniah 3:17
You are accepted in the Beloved — Psalm 27:10; Romans 15:7

Bill Hamon wrote in Prophets and Personal Prophecy:
“God is very sensitive about His prophets. To touch one of His prophets is to touch the apple of His eye. To reject God’s prophets is to reject God.”

Even God knows that those who carry His word will face unique resistance. Let that reality draw you closer to the Father. Your vertical relationship with Him must overshadow every other relationship in your life.

And if the spirit of rejection has been influencing your life, let this be your prayer and declaration:

“In the name of Jesus, I command the spirit of rejection to leave. I receive freedom now.”

You are an amazing gift to the Body of Christ. God loves you—and so do I.
