Two weeks ago, the fear of rejection was broken off of me in my revival group at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. For almost my whole life, I have struggled with rejection and feeling accepted. It has stolen so much from me in my life—so much time, so many relationships and hurt me in so many ways.
So two weeks ago, there was a day when I was experiencing rejection really heavy in my heart and in my life.
I was crying and crying and I happened to have revival group that afternoon. I go to my revival group, and I was crying, and the whole time my peers were like “Julianna it’s OK to be a mess, just let it out.” It was so hard for me to hear those things because I wanted to be put together and I wanted to have it all together. For my revival group and my leaders in my life to see me crying was really hard for me. One of my third year mentors started talking to me and saying how it was a really special day in revival group—that we were breaking through the fear of rejection. So I’m sitting and listening to them talk in RG about lies and truths we believe about ourselves. There was a point when they were encouraging us to just follow the Holy Spirit in the moment. Whatever He wants you to do, just do it. I stood up and my revival group pastor came over to give me a hug, and just started speaking truth over me. I just start crying even more. Long story short, a bunch of people prayed over me and I broke through the fear of rejection as my revival group had me stand on a chair in the middle of the room and audibly declare truth. It was so powerful!
The next day I woke up and felt 20 pounds lighter and felt so free like I’ve never experienced in my life before. I go to school and my revival group tells me that I’m glowing and I’m just so happy, and I felt the peace, joy and the freedom of the Lord like I never have before!
