Despise Not Your Rejection

 

“It is hard to kick against the pricks” Jesus said to Saul, blinding his eyes with shekinah glory. I have ordained you an apostle to the gentiles that they might receive the Holy Ghost with Fire. Your enemies found to be liars vex your soul day and night. But I say, Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. Are they not fallen in the ditch? Stir up the gift you received by the laying on of holy hands. Despise not your rejection. I was despised and rejected then betrayed and murdered. With cruel mockings and provocation and with wicked hands they killed the Prince of Peace. They desired a murderer and a thief to rule over them. These are the same who are called by my name and you have found to be liars. Fret not because of evil doers. Rejoice that your knowledge comes from the Father of lights. Illuminating your soul in the furnace of your trial. No man can share your grief. Every man and his brother speak vanities. Looking for their own advantage and self interest. But I have ordained you a prophet from the womb as John the Baptist, to prepare the way of the Lord and make his path straight.

Desperately seeking a place for repentance

“Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright”
Hebrews 12:16 KJV

Esau was a profane man who despised his birthright and exchanged it for a mess of pottage. Sometime afterward, perhaps decades when he awakened to his loss, he sought desperately for a place of repentance, but found none - because God has forsaken him. An example to those who would despise the chastening of the Lord and refuse correction. A warning to despisers of those who are good, faithful and true and who embrace the doctrine of Christ going on to perfection.
