Have you ever found yourself distracted and disorganized? Or do you feel like a failure going around the same mountain year offer year?
Hindering spirits that distract you can delay and disappointment. These demons are assigned to hold you in bondage to steal your destiny.
Revelation 12 talks about the dragon (Satan) falling to the earth with little time and great fury. He came to gather as many souls for his kingdom as possible. But he ran into a roadblock; the blood of Jesus. In Revelation 12:11 they overcame Satan by the “blood of the Lamb“ and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives unto death.
Satan cannot take our souls because of the blood of Jesus so he aims at hindering us. That’s the vulnerable area where Satan uses distraction to take us off course to delay us and then bring in hope deferred and disappointment.
If Satan can delay you long enough you may begin to hear mocking spirits whispering:
- “You’re a failure.”
- “You will never amount to anything.”
- “Nothinh is ever perfect enough for you.”
These words can distort your self-image and cause you to agree and repeat them over and over in your head until you start believing them:
- “I am unworthy.”
- “I not able to…”
- “You’re so stupid, no one will ever love you.”
Negative word curses that you agree with allow hindering spirit to set up shop derail you.
My mother used to say all these things to me so much I began believing them. It allowed satan to come in and literally destroy my life for years.
There are 3 steps to begin conquering hindering spirits
1. Break the word curses that are believing. Pray: Father God, I cancel every word curse of (list them) that I have spoken over myself or that others have spoken over me. In the name of Jesus Amen.
2. Replace the wrong self-image with Gods image of you.I used to have a defeated self-image. I was afraid to go after dreams. Thankfully God got a hold of me and the ungodly self-image didn’t line up with me anymore. I recognized that what I allowed to hinder me was my agreement with that fearful cowering child. I had to change the picture I saw of myself and let the word of God paint me a new image.
We cannot become who God says we are unless we can see ourselves as He sees us. We will become what we imagine whether that image is positive or negative. If we think we are failures, we will be. We have to deal with our thoughts and imaginations and get them in-line with God’s image of us. We can’t let what others define or identify or our future.
3. Spend time in God’s Word daily. The only way to know who you are in God is to read His word. The book or Ephesians and Colossians are good places to start. Ask God to reveal His truth to you through the power of the Holy Spirit before you begin reading.
These are real steps to starting your journey in conquering the hindering spirits.
Don’t spend anymore time dancing around the same mountain. Make a plan to do something different.
