ELIMINATING HINDERING SPIRITS

Topic: Eliminating Hindering spirits

Text: "Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I
Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us" (1
Thessalonians 2:18).

Paul experienced a lot of trouble against His
ministry. Not only was he vehemently
persecuted, but it seems that everywhere he
went the devil was busy stirring up little
problems and aggravating issues to try and
prevent the success of his ministry. In First
Thessalonians 2:18, when Paul said he was
hindered, Strong’s Concordance describes
the word as an obstacle that blocks what is
needed. Paul said it kept happening over and
over again. It isn’t until First Thessalonians
3:10-11 that we see God remove these
hindrances so Paul could get where he intended
to go. What finally made the difference? First,
verse 10 says his group began to pray intensely,
probably because he was tired of the
harassment and began to pray some “enough is
enough” kind of prayers! Suddenly in verse 11,
we see God Himself stepping in with an anointing
specifically to remove these hindrances. The
divine power of Heaven radically stepped in and
brought all the chaos to rest!
If you have felt hindered today by constant little
troubles and harassments trying to prevent you
from succeeding, God is ready to bring these
little fires from the enemy to an end. Begin with
determined prayer, but then call upon the Lord
for it to stop. If those harassing spirits had to
get out of the way for Paul, they shall surely
move for you too!

PRAYER
Lord, I believe today that You are stepping in the
middle of my situation to remove hindering
spirits. I declare that every harassment and
aggravating form of trouble must stop and that I
am going to succeed! In Jesus’ Name, amen!
