The Orphan Spirit: Inner Healing From Deep Wounds of RejectionSample

Day 2: Healing from the Orphaned Spirit (Embracing the Father)

Over the next days we will be discussing the process of healing from the Orphan Spirit. Today we will discuss Embracing the Father.

Where did Orphan Spirit start:

Scripture shows us that Lucifer was a special angel (Isaiah 14) in charge of worship in heaven. Pride then developed in Lucifer’s heart and he wanted to take God’s position. So, Lucifer is banished from heaven. Lucifer (who is now called Satan) leaves God’s presence. Lucifer rejected God. He rejected love. He rejected Father. SO, Lucifer becomes the first orphan (an orphaned spirit).

As Adam and Eve were tempted, they began to have their own orphan experience. No longer were they living fully in the loving fathering presence of God as sons and daughters. From here, the orphan spirit had entered the world.

The Answer for the Orphan Spirit:

The orphan spirit embodies the mindset of a son or daughter separated from his or her loving Father. Out of this sense of abandonment, lies, sin, and selfish acts flourish to medicate the loss of identity, provision, and protection.

But Jesus promises: I will not leave you orphans, I will come for you (John 14:18).

When Jesus said these words, it was also Father God speaking. He was saying. I will not leave you in this world like orphans. I will come to you. The only way to stop being "like" an orphan is to embrace the Father's love.

We must be introduced to a true Father - to a perfect, loving heavenly Father, and be transformed into a son or daughter by the Father by living in His blessing. God wants every vestige of the orphan spirit out of our lives so we can be whole. This is His desire for every person.

Scripture: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” – 1 John 3:1

Reflection: Today, reflect on the truth that you are God’s child. Take time to sit with this reality and imagine the deep, abiding love of a perfect Father who delights in you. Embrace that you are not an orphan; you are chosen and cherished.

Prayer: Father, help me to understand and accept that I am loved by You. Heal my heart from any feelings of abandonment, and help me to fully embrace You as my Father.
