- A tendency to think that any constructive criticism or simple complaints as rejection. These are not meant to be personal attacks. If no one can share their heart regarding what's bothering them, one's marriage can grow. A healthy can person can distinguish between who they are from their personal opinions or bias.
- The more you ignore your mate's complaints or criticism because you perceive them to be rejection of you, you will certainly provoke personal verbal / emotional attacks from them towards you. If you one never deals with the rejection, nothing will ever be solved in the marriage. This will produce hopelessness.
- We resent criticism or compliants because we perceive them to be rejection of us. Such thinking causes one to focus upon themselves to the extent that they cannot see anything from their spouse's perception.
- Accepting emotional abuse, physical abuse, or neglect as the norm in your marriage
- Feeling like your spouse does not like the real you, which keeps you from being the real you
- Constantly thinking your spouse sees you as stupid, ugly, dumb, etc
- Feeling like you are going to lose your spouse to someone else because of your inadequacies or imperfections.
- NEEDING TO RELY ON YOUR SPOUSE AS THE SOURCE OF YOUR EMOTIONAL VALIDATION AND AUTHENTICATION OF YOUR SELF WORTH
- Needing his or her agreement with all of your opinions, values and perspectives to feel good about yourself
- Feel betrayed when they don't embrace your point of view on all things
- Unable to say your wrong without your mate saying they are wrong, not willing to be accountable for one's wrong doing
- Have an expectation in your heart to be rejected by your mate and others
- Unable to see it from your mates perspectives
- Communicates in your marriage from a defensive posture

For marriage: Possible symptoms that one needs ministry regarding rejection, self rejection and fear of rejection
Possible symptoms that one needs to be set free from the fear of rejection and self rejection:
Freedom From Rejection as a marriage partner- What to do after you have been delivered from the spirit of rejection as a Spouse
I have been involved in deliverance ministry for many years. I have seen the devastation that the spirit of rejection can bring to a marriage or family. Deliverance ministry is not the only ministry needed to be free from self rejection, fear of rejection and the rejection of others. In order to experience lasting freedom from deliverance one must first of all do the following:
- Repent of the sins that one has released in the marriage from rejection
- Once delivered do not make it your mission to point it out in your mate
- Rejection distorts communication and perception in a spouse's heart towards their mate-therefore one must allow the Holy Spirit to work on the plank their own eye. You cannot safely remove the splinter from your mate's eyes when there is a plank in our own eye. You may see the splinter but you lack the skill to remove the splinter
- Daily saturate your heart and mind with the blood of Jesus. Jesus was the most rejected man whoever lived. Apply the blood from His heart( wound from his side) to the seeds of rejection in your heart, the blood from His face ( upon your self esteem), the blood from His skin for the removal of self will from your heart in your relationship with your spouse, the blood from His crown for the removal of all word curses from your mouth and the mouth of others against your mate and marriage, the blood from His feet to soften your heart so that you can be discipled and coached by others in the repair of your marriage , the blood from his hands to activate productive actions that revive your marriage and the blood from His back to heal your marriage. Remember Rev. 12:11 says they overcame the enemy by the blood of Jesus .
- Take every thought of self rejection and the fear of rejection to the cross of Jesus Christ
- In your daily devotion, simply receive a fresh outpouring of the " Father's love " upon your own heart. Once deliverance takes place, your heart must be filled to overflowing with the knowledge of the Father's love. This realm of revelation will cause you to see your mate with new eyes
- Daily carry all wounds to Christ. I apply the " Blood of Jesus " to my heart when it becomes confused through offenses. There are times we are offended because our perceptions are wrong. If you are honest and willing the Holy Spirit will help you
- Do you not base your obedience to God in your marriage on your mate's obedience to God. If you base your obedience to God in your marriage regarding how you treat your mate on your mate changing, your obedience becomes manipulative. ( Jezebel Spirit)
- Daily speak confessions regarding who your in Christ over your life
- Shower your mate with love, with positive words, etc

2013 Prophetic Word
Prophetic Word: Sustained corporate prayer and morning prayer devotions are keys for breakthrough in this season and onward as we enter 2013. As the momentum of corporate prayer grow in local churches, local churches of various denomination that are devoted to Jesus Christ will come together for seasons of corporate prayer. Ongoing corporate prayer is the gate to revival and increased levels of th
e manifestation of the glory of God. The aroma of holiness and the lifestyle of sanctification shall prevail by the working of the grace of God from within in our hearts. it will be said, the grace of God works powerfully within my people. Corporate prayer will be used in 2013 to stop the course of pending weather disasters, earthquakes, war and terrorist attacks. Covenant breaking in Atl and others areas of the US among churches and leaders has resulted in massive financial insufficiency, family division and the lack of anointing to produce miracles. As the blood of Jesus is applied and repentance occurs among severed joints of relationships within churches, among churches and among apostolic and prophetic gifts, open heavens shall manifest in the middle of schools, companies, colleges and universities. Corporate prayer will be used by the Lord to heal the breeches created by covenant breaking and the spirit of death shall be restrained from its increased activity. Let corporate prayer begin in every local church. Let all believers arise in the early hours to pray and seek the face of the Father. Seek the Lord with all of your heart and He will be found of you. The harvest angels are present working among the harvesters to bring in the harvest. I was not planning to write this, but it began to flow, so forgive me for grammar errors. Every church will be known as the house of prayer, the gate of heaven where the angels of God ascend and descending releasing mighty miracles in the house of God. Atlanta get ready for a big embrace from the Holy Spirit. He is looking upon Atlanta and is about to bring forth men and women of God who have been pruned for the last seven to 12 years. Fruitfulness shall prevail for another 20 years. Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice for the seasons are changing and in 2013 revival shall break forth in key locations, even in November and December of this year.

Help me understand?
Jesus said, As the Father sent me into the World so do I sent you into the world.(John 17:18) Jesus said He came to seek and save the lost. (Luke 19:10) Why isn't the " Church (Body of Christ) in Metro Atlanta Georgia, not focus on equipping every believer to win the lost? What's more important in the church than winning souls? The fuel of apostolic ministry is raising up leaders from the harvest
. If no souls are won, there's no one to equip.The building blocks for reformation are new creation believers. The proliferation of the Church into the seven mountains and possessing the seven mountains, not only involves placing competent believers on these mountains, but also planting believers on these mountains who win others on these mountains to Christ. Why do we as believers resistant doing the very thing Jesus told us to do. ( John 17:18; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28: 18-22; Luke 19: 19; Luke 15) As a man of God, I tell you main headliner in the coming move of God is evangelism. Christ Jesus weeps over the lost in Atlanta, Georgia, and the world. The proof of desire is pursuit. If we are not pursing the lost, then our desire for the lost is merely a whim or wish. Atlanta needs a Holy Spirit invasion of signs and wonders to extract the lost from the religious structures that do not believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and literally risen from the dead bodily. I believe the Holy Spirit wants to authenticate the veracity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ through signs, wonders and miracles. Its time for the gospel of the kingdom of God to go VIRAL. Why do we resist dong the work of evangelism? if heaven rejoices over one soul being saved, why doesn't evangelism in the Atlanta have the same level of priority and value? What is more important than souls? If God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son? ( John 3:16) If The Father would send His Son to save us through His death and resurrection, are we willing to be sent by the Lord to win our neighbors, love ones, co- employees,etc to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I know people who have left the church because they did not love what Christ loved enough to give a portion of their time to win the Lost. Many of us are going to stand before the judgement seat of God and He will play the scenes where you and I resisted the Great Commission, where you and I may have criticized leaders who were devoted to winning souls and making disciples...... Why the do we neglect sharing with others this great salvation? What gaps in my understanding or lack of revelation in the word of God am I missing,that justifies believers not winning souls and making disciples? Somebody help Me

Agreement in Marriage- The key to everything you want in life
When husbands and wives come into true agreement regarding their finances, children, goals, major purchases, how to handle present problem and decision in accordance to the Word of God, your prayers in these areas will be answered in a way that will blow your mind. Where there is strife and self ambition there is every evil work James 3:16. If hell consistently breaking out in your household, check out the agreement between yourselves as husband and wives and check out if the decisions are biblically based. There is no agreement without respect to divine order in your marriage. Remember the best decisions are when we both agree; however, when a decision has to be made and we are not seeing eye to eye, the wife should follow her husband along as he is not asking her to commit a crime, sin or do something that is morally wrong. Personally speaking, I prefer agreement between Jane and I, but when I have to make the decision, I normally have prayed about it, gotten counsel from reliable sources and researched it adequately. As a husband i want the best for my family, its not about me, its about us. On the flip side there are husbands who never consult their wives or act like their wives are incompetent. I remember the day the Lord told me that I was only living by 50% of my wisdom and that I was being robbed , not recognizing that Jane possessed the other 50 % of my wisdom to make an adequate decision. Over the years, my wife has proven to be my greatest asset. Moreover a stupid wife ( proverbs 12:1) is a wife who motivates or manipulate her husband into making a decision against the direction that He has received from God, THAT SHE KNOWS IS RIGHT AND FROM GOD. SOME WOMEN INSIST ON BEING IN CONTROL BECAUSE SHE GOVERNED BY FEAR. SHE CONTROL SO THAT SHE CAN DETERMINE THE OUTCOME. A WISE WOMAN USES HER GIFT OF INFLUENCE TO MOTIVATE HER HUSBAND TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND TO FOLLOW GOD. THE REASON WHY I AM SO VEHEMENT ABOUT THIS STATEMENT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN WIVES MOTIVATE THEIR HUSBANDS TO LEAVE A CHURCH WHERE THEIR HUSBANDS WERE GROWING IN CHRIST BECAUSE OF HER OFFENSES WITH A PERSON(S) AT THE CHURCH, THEN THE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY BEGIN TO PLUNGE INTO HELL BECAUSE SHE PRESAUDED HIM TO MOVE AGANIST WHAT HE KNEW WAS THE WILL OF GOD. LADIES MEN NEED GOOD GODLY ACCOUNTABILITY, IF HE HAS IT DON'T MESS IT UP. NOW BROTHERS IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING BAD DECISIONS, THEN YOU HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY WITH YOUR WIFE. TO GET IT BACK: REPENT TO GOD AND YOUR WIFE, GET BACK INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD, ASK HER ADVICE, GET GOOD GODLY ADVICE AND JOIN A CONNECTION GROUP WHERE BROTHERS ARE WAKING WITH GOD. ACCORDING TO PSALMS 133 AGREEMENT IS THE GODS PLACE OF POWER.

Journey of a Dream
Journey of a Dream.God planted me , sent me and equipped me for transformational revival. Years ago the Lord planted a dream in my heart for transformational revival. I know we need reformation, but that cannot happen until the church is revived. Around 1975, Gorman Memorial in Orlando, starting praying and fasting intensely. A visiting evangelist came to Orlando for one reason, but God used him as a catalyst to spark revival. I saw Gorman triple or quadruple it size in to 2months. Although there were problems, God did visited the church. It was during this time that God placed a hunger in me for signs and wonders, church planting and revival. The Lord began to give me dreams about past men of God and their mantle falling upon young people. I began to have dreams about the Apostle Paul. Many of these I never spoke about. During the time of the revival at Gorman God used me at Florida Manor Nursing Home kitchen to lead many to Christ through signs and wonders. I was only 18 or 19. The movement grow so large we filled the employees cafeteria. I was asked to take it someone else. We started meeting in homes, So many attended the bible study, the thought never entered my mind to start a church. Thank God I didn't. When I arrived back to Morehouse college for my sophomore year I had a mighty visionary encounter with God which involved the Lord dethroning the prince over that area. When i stepped out of my room after that experience. People immediately received the baptism of the Holy Spirit when they prayed to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. We met in Dansfort chapel every Friday night for all night prayer. We saw over 600 students impacted directed by this movement. Some major pastors in this city today was set afire during that visitation of the Holy Spirit. Many of these students are professionals on the 7M, some are pastoring churches or leading apostolic networks. At the pinnacle of this revival, I gave what was not mine to give- the leadership of this movement to others who were much older than me. The biggest mistake of my life. I left Atlanta discouraged with my mind made up to never return. God spoke to me audibly to return after being gone for about six months. There were so many confirmations about me returning, even miraculous provision and on demand reinstatement and registration back to Morehouse College. I had not filed for financial aid, but they gave it on the spot. I sit back wondering now, why was there so many maneuvers by God to get me back to Atlanta. With the leadership of Bishop Johnson we reinstated the campus outreach. It flourished, but not with revival proportions, but the fruit was great from the campuses. I spoke about the journey of dream in the inception of this note, I realize more than anything, that there has been a dream in my heart for Atlanta and the Southeastern US to experience transformational revival. This dream is greater than the manifestation of prophetic ministry, signs and wonders, etc. Now More than thirty years later, I am left with questions, why hasn't happen yet? Will it occur? Will it occur in my life time? Will our children be the instruments God use to bring this forth? Where has the fiery passion that was so much a part of my personality gone? I realized this week that I have not been myself for awhile, but I will not give into claws and tentacles discouragement. Just recently I shared with Bishop Johnson while I was praying about Atlanta, the Lord gave my a picture of a supersize dynamo sitting over Atlanta. I was wanted turbines of power to run , but they would not run. I was so undone because this powerful dynamo was sitting over Atlanta, but it would not run. Then the Lord began to tell me the reason why there has not been a move of God in Atlanta in the proportions that He wants to released1) Many leaders are being graciously transitioned off the scene because they were so caught in building their own kingdom or making a name for themselves with not concern for His purpose. 2) There were leaders are being prepared to be launched from Adullums cave- no names 3) There were many wounded leaders whose hearts need to be healed- it was his grace and mercy to not bring them forth until their hearts were healed. A wounded heart draws the attack of the enemy. 4) Many leaders not majoring on what He is majoring on. He wants us to get on His page 5) Many are holding on to wineskins that can not hold the new wine that He wants to pour out upon Atlanta and other areas. The old wineskins are set to war against the new wineskins. 6) We have not stood for the injustices in our city regarding youth, family and marriage. 7) Covenent breaking 8) THE CHURCH IN ATLANTA WILL NOT PRAY NIGHT AND DAY LUKE 18. WE HAVE PRAYED FOR THINGS NOT ON HIS AGENDA. THE KEYS TO TURNING THE DYNAMOS OF POWER AND HIS GLORY OVER ATLANTA. THE CHURCH MUST MOBOLIZE ITSELF WITH RIGHT MOTIVES TO PRAY AND INTERCEDE: HOLINESS AND SANCTIFICATION, COMPASSION FOR THE LOST, SOUL WINNING, REMOVAL OF LETHARGY, RELEASE OF THE BAPTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT FIRE, MANIFESTATION OF SIGNS AND WONDERS. NEW LEVEL OF GLORY MANIFESTATIONS IN OUR LOCAL CHURCHES. We must hate religion the way Jesus hated it ( Matthew 23) The Lord spoke to me that they enemy is attempting to set of His government in Atlanta through three religions and 3 organizations. The mission of the church of Atlanta , if we will accept it, is to become conduits of the mighty power of the Holy Spirit with signs and wonders. Many who are going after false Christ, false religions and evil organizations will come to Christ once signs and wonders are released in our homes, jobs, eateries, etc. The message of repentance, the Cross of Jesus Christ and the power of the blood of Jesus will be key messages. Colleges and universities are going to fill the stadiums and streets because of revival. Now after saying this, I have come to a place in my life where I truly want what God wants in his timing. But i thirst and hunger for transformational revival. We must have it. I would be content just to pray for it. The prayer movement missed it because we worshipped prayer and were not devoted to His purpose and plan for the land. As Alistair Petrie said, we must face our Ninevah. Many leaders are have been like Jonah going in the opposite direction of God's purpose and plan. The raging storm of warfare will cease, when we begin to worship God with thanksgiving and submit to His plans and will. I did not attend to say all of this. Heaven has assembled itself over the southeastern portion of the US to bring one of the greatest revival the world has ever seen, the Lord is waiting our cooperation. Will it be through us or our children? I was born for this.
