Don’t allow a spiritual traffic jam to re-route your blessing

Thursday's Awakening
Topic: Don’t allow a spiritual traffic jam to re-route your blessing
Genesis 32:24-26
This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket. Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!”
But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

How bad do we want God?
Are we willing to fight for our blessing?
Jacob wrestled with God all night long until he blessed him. God dislocated his hip and he continued to hold on to God. Jacob continued to withstand the pain until God blessed him.

Many of us are in need of a blessing but we only hold on long enough until our hip is dislocated and we let go. We often give up too easily. Sometime we have to go through some pain before we will gain.
Usually we talk ourselves out of a blessing. We begin to speak against our blessing before it is able to manifest.

Sometimes our blessings are on its way to us and it hits traffic. Spiritual traffic jams often delay our blessing but. Keep the faith and know the traffic will eventually clear. A spiritual traffic jam is when the angel of the Lord is delivering our blessing and spiritual wickedness sees we are about to receive a blessing and tries to intercept it. The more we hold on to our blessings our blessings will continue to stay the course.

If we begin to lose hope during our spiritual traffic jams and begin to speak against our blessing our delay turns into denial. The same way we believed our blessing and it was on its way, we can speak against our blessing and it will never make it to us, its intended destination.

If we put an address in our navigation and we decide we no longer want that address and we change it will no longer navigate to its previous destination. It is the same with our blessings. When we pray for something then speak against it our power works both ways. When we pray for it, believe it is coming. When we pray against it, believe it is not coming.

“I will never get that _____” Believe you will never get it. “God never blesses me” Our words have power. When we speak, it begins to activate and will manifest. God told Adam to name all the animals and whatever he named them they were. We have the same power. When we speak our words have power.

Continue to pray, continue to hold on. Your blessing is coming.

Don’t allow a spiritual traffic jam to re-route your blessing. Trust that the traffic jams will come but they will soon pass (Daniel 10:12-14). While your blessing is caught in a spiritual traffic jam, hold on to God’s unchanging hands.

Examples of Holding On

Dr. Seuss' first children's book, And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street, was rejected by twenty-seven publishers. The twenty-eighth publisher, Vanguard press, sold six million copies of the book.

You can have 27 spiritual traffic jams but the blessing is still on its way.

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." He was expelled and refused admittance to Zurich Polytechnic School. The University of Bern turned down his Ph.D. dissertation as being irrelevant and fanciful.

You have to know if God be for you who can be against you? It doesn’t matter what people say, it only matters what God says. Hold on until he blesses you.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.

You are never too old to hold on for your blessing.

Colonel Sanders had the construction of a new road put him out of business in 1967. He went to over 1,000 places trying to sell his chicken recipe before he found a buyer interested in his 11 herbs and spices. Seven years later, at the age of 75, Colonel Sanders sold his fried chicken company for a finger-lickin' $15 million!

Hold on to God no matter the trial or tribulation. When our hip is dislocated, know that he is the greatest healer and we must continue to hold on. God will never leave us or forsake us. Although it may look as if the blessing isn’t coming continue to pray and the blessing will chase us down wherever we are.

Do we want God bad enough to hold on when we are in distress, tired, and weary?

Do we want God bad enough when our joints are dislocated and we can barely get out of bed?

Do we want God bad enough to wrestle all night long until he blesses us?

Matthew 5:6
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Receive the blessings of the Lord. Don’t put a new destination in the navigation because of a spiritual traffic jam.

Trust God and know if you are willing to fight for him you will receive him.

God Bless you!
