You might have been spending nights crying out to the Father and it seems as though your tears have been a waste of time..Feeling as though God desires to speak to everyone but you..that others appear to know what God desires for them yet you have no clue…..And you set there day in and day out wondering why you can’t hear from the Lord yourself..You feel as though there is some spiritual force that is blocking you from your blessing,
There may well be and in all truth it might be so close to you that you have been blinded by it.
Look around and see everything that you believe you can not do without.
Friends, family, possessions, material things, job, pets, ambitions, dreams….
These are the very things that may be blocking you from hearing the Lord’s voice clearly…they may even be blocking you from stepping into your true destiny.
It’s is not the person or things that are evil…..it is our own hearts when we place anything or anyone above Jesus…….The Lord God said that we shall have no idols, we shall bow down to no other image. (Ex 20:3-6)
When Jesus told the young rich ruler to go an sell all he had and follow Him it was not because the Lord hates money….it is because He detests anything that we would put above Him in our lives…Jesus saw that this young man found his value in what he possessed. (Mark 10:17-27)
What a lesson for us today!
Why do we allow worldly things to control our perspective of how we are valued?
If we would but for a moment look to the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross we would see we are valued in the Fathers eyes above anything else in this world!
We will never be able to experience the benefits of God’s Kingdom if we choose to keep one foot in the World!!!!
We must be radical in our hunger for His voice, for His wisdom, for the things of the Kingdom. So radical that we are willing to surrender all that we may but serve our King Jesus, that there is no other higher purpose in our life than that which the Lord God bids us to do, bowing before His Throne alone
What idol(s) are blocking your blessing today?
Pray and ask Holy Spirit help point out and grant you the empowering Grace to pull down any idol, any high thing in your life exalted above the Name of Jesus.
For we do serve an Awesome God!

AMEN!!!
Matthew 10:36-38
(NIV1984)
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[a]
37 “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Big problems with knowing GOD’s Will for HIS people, which is HIS WORD and THE LORD HIMSELF!, and more than that its lack of Faith…. Believing/trusting/having faith that goes behond the mind/soul and is in the heart/flesh and become so automatic that it pulls Heavenly TRUTH that is Eternal into temporal circumstances that are just temporal ! GLORY TO GOD for the gift of Faith, if u lack it just ask FATHER! AMEN
