Obstacles To Your Prayers Are Being Removed!
You have been to the Lord in prayer some time now. Your prayer may be very similar to this one:
“I am struggling to find employment. I lost my job months ago and I’ve submitted countless applications and have been to several interviews. But no luck.”
God is opening doors and preparing the way for you. He’s going to reveal things to you. His blessings on your life are going to spring forth as you have never seen before.
1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”
Luke 11:9-10 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
We cannot begin to comprehend or conceive what God has prepared for us. When we ask for a blessing, there is no need to tell God how to fulfil your blessings. Allow him to work, in mysterious ways in your life.
Have you ever said these words? “Sometimes I just look up, smile, and say, I know that was you, God! Thanks!”
In some instances God may use you to remove someone else’s obstacle or to be their channel of blessing. When this happens, you will be frustrated and even angry and disappointed that they do not return to give you thanks. But only 1 in 10 would remember to give thanks.
When Jesus healed the 10 lepers in Luke 17:11-19, only one of them returned, praising God for his healing, and he was not even a Jew!
Luke 17:15-18 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
In the same way, do you remember to give God thanks and to give him the glory when you receive blessings? Or are you like the 9 lepers who just went their way?
