Overcoming Rejection: Revised and Updated

by Frank Hammond

REJECTION is one of the most common, inner wounds. It can occur at any stage in life, from the time of conception through adulthood. Rejection is one of the most neglected wounds within a person's soul. It brings a disturbance and a heaviness on a human heart. An individual wounded inside fears further rejection. He comes under pressure to change who he is in order to find love "€" and to reject the truth of who God created him to be. This pressure wears him down, and eventually creates abnormalities in his behavior. This is by the design of his enemy. The devil hates love. He is opposed to God, who is Love.

The perfect love of Jesus casts out fear ( 1 John 4:18 ). The Spirit of the Lord restores our soul, and our confidence in who we truly are. Jesus is working to edify and strengthen us. In this moment, your Savior wants to assure you of how valuable you are to Him and to His Kingdom. He wants you to become stable in His love, and to find a new freedom from the chains of the enemy.

Another classic book dealing with Spiritual Warfare. Recovery from many of our challenges and predicaments lies within our own grasp and abilities. This book covers a step-by-step process for laying all of our battles at the feet of Christ and allowing Him to provide us a victorious life.

I liked it and found it extremely interesting and hard to put down. I did disagree with the author on a few things, for instance he believes one must not only forgive the offender but forget the offence. This seems to be a popular view held by many. While it is biblical to forgive it is not biblical that you must forget. But other than that and a few other small things I loved this book! One very interesting thing was when he talked about a baby in the womb being able to tell whether or not it's loved or rejected and how that affects the baby its whole life. It was intriguing and I would love to study that out more in itself! So here's a few quotes from the book. 1. "Babies ought to be conceived in love. During her months of pregnancy, a woman can minister Spiritually to her unborn infant. She can sing to him, pray for him and communicate her love. John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb. A baby in the womb is capable of sensing both positive and negative spiritual influences. Some obstetricians believe that a baby knows whether or not he is loved by the time he is a few weeks formed in the mother's womb. Through my experience in deliverance, I know this is true." 2. "Contemplated or attempted abortion. What happens to a baby when his rejection is so pronounced that the parents consider murdering him through abortion? There is mounting evidence that the baby is aware that his life is threatened. Although the abortion is not actually carried out or is not successful. The desire to kill him is registered in the child's awareness. As such a child matures, it is not unusual for him to manifest a strong fear of being harmed or murdered by his own mother. Contemplated abortion may represent a temporary rejection of the baby. After the matter of abortion has been thought through or prayed through, eventually the child may be accepted and loved. However, the initial wound would have already occurred, and evil spirits will have taken advantage of the opening." 3. "Like Job, the very thing he feared came upon him." I hope you consider reading this book! I highly recommend it and I'll probably read it again sometime. As I said before there are a few things I disagree with but it's still a great book! You don't have to agree with the author on everything but consider reading this book! My brother recommended this book and says it's one of the better on the topic of deliverance.
