Pastor Luke Martin shared the following message on 2 January 2011:
If you take on disappointments, it can become a blockage. It's the same when you repeatedly sin and it becomes a habit. Similarly, we find blockages in the form of financial hardship or unforgiveness.
We wrongly assume those blockages are a part of our lives, that it is our lot. All we need do is speak to those blockages and they must go. Our authority does not require labour and burden to banish them.
Now is the season to tell those blockages they must go. In Mark 11:23, we read how we must merely speak to a mountain to see its removal granted.
To walk in God's favour means believing such blockages and mountains can be told to go away.
Clearing the blockages
• Speak to it. Talk to the mountain about God, saying what authority you have in Jesus' name. Tell it to be gone.
• Pray for it. Pray AND speak to the blockage. (See Mark 11:24.)
• Expect it. Be ready. James 2:12 tells us to act as if we expect freedom. Remove smaller things so that God can work out your victory.
• Act on it. Think of Peter being called out of the boat. The miracle wasn't inside the boat, but only once Peter's foot hit the water. Peter allowed himself to be encouraged and then he acted.
• Share it. There is strength in unity.
God wants you to experience and act on breakthrough.
What can you do to exercise your faith and step out into God's victory and release.
