Rejection of God's anointed ministry is spiritual suicide. Jesus declared, "He that heareth you heareth me, and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me" (10:16). The NLT is clear: "Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me." John 13:20 adds further clarity. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I SEND receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
