I had surrendered all and yet did not understand why I was still not getting victory until I understood I was dealing with iniquity. Iniquity is not dealing with accidental sin we commit, but it is the sinful patterns that you do without you being aware of it. Rejection and fear kept me captive until I saw these were iniquities that I needed to break free from. One prayer prayed was ‘Let my life to speak more than my words.’ Rejection caused: Resistance to intimacy -- Resistance to God’s calling. But was shown that God does not looking for our ability, but our availability -- Self hated because of a lie -- Rejected people often reject people -- Fear of authority and fear of being rejected if things were not done perfectly or never performed well enough -- Often never shared with leaders until felt secure enough and covered up selfishness with a false humility --To correct people in silent rebellion rather than in love.

 

 

Exodus 34:6-7 The iniquity not the sin goes to the 3rd  and 4th generation. Sin –Miss the mark. Romans 3:23 -- Transgression - Willfully chose to overstep the mark. Trespassing like going into a private park when I know I should not be going in. - Iniquity–Bent–Crooked– Twisted–Wrung out of course Isaiah 53:5-6 bruised for our iniquities. Iniquity bruises or defiles an area of our character. Iniquity makes us turn to our own way and do your own thing. V. 6 Rejection was the bruise that gave Bradley a crooked arrow. Hebrews 12:1- Besetting or ensnaring sin in your life. You deal slightly differently with an iniquity - Sin causes you to miss the mark – Transgression causes you to trip and fall – Iniquity gives you a crooked arrow to start with. Understanding iniquity helps us to deal with the root rather than the fruit. Understanding iniquity helps us to be specific in our prayer and intercession. Often specific iniquities can hold us back from our destinies so we need to ask the Lord to show us what those are in our lives.
