Roadblock

In life there are different types of roadblocks. Don't you hate it when you're talking to someone and you try to remember the name of someone you've known all you life and for some reason you get a mental roadblock? (I tend to live in a state of mental block...ha.ha.) Or even the physical kind where you hit the highway and find out your usual route is blocked and you're required to take a detour. How would you feel if you knew there was someone always planning to block your path, success, blessing, and progress?

Guess what, there is someone who is planning against you. There is someone who is constantly attempting to establish spiritual roadblocks in your life. Satan is constantly trying to close the road to your blessing, your spiritual growth, and God's purpose for your life. I have to remind myself regularly that Satan is continuously working against me. He's a liar, a thief, and an all around jerk! But he is not in control of my ultimate outcome. No matter how many roadblocks he may set up, God can and will tear them down when I ask him too (notice the emphasis is on "asking him"). Ask God to destroy the roadblocks in your life. Take your needs to him. Be persistent! Act on God's Word and expect his promises to come true.

• Matthew 18:18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. ¹⁹"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. (NIV)
• Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (NIV)

Ask God, according to his will, and he will blast you through the roadblocks in your life! Have a great week!
