INTRODUCTION:
Every child of God is destined for greatness, but satanic obstacles often arise to hinder progress. These obstacles may manifest as delays, opposition, financial struggles, spiritual battles, or stagnation. However, through divine authority and spiritual warfare, every satanic hindrance can be destroyed, and the path to greatness can be made clear.
1. UNDERSTANDING SATANIC OBSTACLES
Obstacles are barriers placed by the enemy to stop divine destiny.
- a) Satan resists God’s plans for His children (Daniel 10:13)
The prince of Persia resisted Daniel’s answer to prayer. - b) Obstacles come in different forms (Nehemiah 4:7-8)
They may be human opposition, demonic attacks, or internal struggles. - c) Some obstacles are foundational (Psalm 11:3)
Evil foundations can hinder greatness. - d) Satanic obstacles cause delay and frustration (1 Thessalonians 2:18)
Paul was hindered by Satan from visiting the church. - e) Biblical Example: Pharaoh as an obstacle to Israel’s freedom (Exodus 5:1-2)
Pharaoh resisted their deliverance, but God brought judgment.
2. IDENTIFYING SATANIC OBSTACLES IN YOUR LIFE
Recognising obstacles is key to overcoming them.
- a) Constant failures at the edge of breakthrough (Psalm 35:4)
Near-success syndrome is a sign of a spiritual obstacle. - b) Repeated patterns of stagnation (Deuteronomy 1:6-7)
When life seems stuck in one place, it indicates opposition. - c) Unusual opposition and resistance (Acts 16:16-18)
Evil forces rise whenever progress is near. - d) Negative dreams and spiritual attacks (Matthew 13:25)
Dreams of backwardness or being caged signal obstacles. - e) Biblical Example: The wall of Jericho blocking Israel’s entry (Joshua 6:1-5)
Jericho’s walls stood in the way of Israel’s promised land.
3. CAUSES OF SATANIC OBSTACLES
Understanding the roots of obstacles helps in breaking them.
- a) Sin and disobedience (Isaiah 59:1-2)
Sin can block divine access to blessings. - b) Evil foundations and curses (Lamentations 5:7)
Family background can affect one’s destiny. - c) Demonic altars speaking against greatness (Numbers 23:1-8)
Evil sacrifices can hinder a person’s success. - d) Unbelief and fear (Matthew 14:30-31)
Doubt and fear can limit one’s ability to move forward. - e) Biblical Example: The Red Sea blocking Israel’s journey (Exodus 14:21-22)
The sea stood as an obstacle, but God parted it.
4. HOW TO DESTROY SATANIC OBSTACLES
Victory comes through divine strategies.
- a) Engage in aggressive prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21)
Some obstacles will only move by fasting and prayer. - b) Apply the Word of God as a weapon (Jeremiah 23:29)
God’s Word breaks every hindrance like fire and a hammer. - c) Use the authority of the Blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
The Blood of Jesus silences demonic resistance. - d) Speak in faith and command obstacles to move (Mark 11:23)
Faith-filled declarations remove hindrances. - e) Biblical Example: David destroying Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50)
David overcame the obstacle of Goliath by faith and action.
5. MAINTAINING YOUR VICTORY OVER SATANIC OBSTACLES
Victory must be sustained through spiritual discipline.
- a) Live a life of holiness (James 4:7)
Submission to God ensures victory over the enemy. - b) Remain in daily prayers and declarations (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Consistent prayers keep obstacles from returning. - c) Walk in faith and boldness (Hebrews 11:6)
Doubt attracts obstacles, while faith removes them. - d) Avoid negative company and wrong associations (1 Corinthians 15:33)
Wrong influences can reintroduce obstacles. - e) Biblical Example: Paul overcoming obstacles in ministry (Acts 16:25-26)
Through prayer and praise, Paul’s prison doors were opened.
CONCLUSION:
Satanic obstacles are real, but God’s power is greater. As we engage in prayer, fasting, and faith-filled actions, every hindrance will be removed, and we will walk into our destined greatness. No power of darkness can stop what God has ordained for us!
