WAR AGAINST MIRACLE STOPPERS 1

Title: WAR AGAINST MIRACLE STOPPERS. PART 1

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Daniel 10:12-13 (NKJV) 
*"Then he said to me, 'Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.'"*

Supporting Texts:
- Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

- 1 Thessalonians 2:18 (NKJV) 
"Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us."

INTRODUCTION:
Miracles are divine interventions in the lives of believers, often leading to supernatural breakthroughs. However, some forces work against the manifestation of these miracles. In Daniel’s experience, we see that his answer was delayed by spiritual forces. As believers, we must wage war against these "miracle stoppers"—forces that hinder the release of God’s blessings and breakthroughs.

1.   IDENTIFYING MIRACLE STOPPERS

a) Satanic Forces
Daniel 10 reveals how demonic principalities, like the prince of Persia, can delay or hinder answers to prayers.

b) Doubt and Unbelief:
In Matthew 13:58, Jesus could not do many miracles in His hometown because of their unbelief. Doubt is a significant miracle-stopper.

d)  Disobedience and Sin
In Joshua 7, the sin of Achan stopped the entire nation of Israel from experiencing victory until it was dealt with.

e) Fear and Anxiety
Fear paralyzes faith, and where there is no faith, miracles are hindered (Mark 5:36).

2.  THE ROLE OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN SECURING MIRACLES

a)  Engage in Prayer and Fasting
Engage in fervent prayer and fasting, as Daniel did, to break through spiritual resistance (Daniel 10:2-3, 12-13).

b) Use the name of Jesus
Use the authority in the name of Jesus to bind and cast out demonic hindrances (Mark 16:17).

c) Put On The Whole Armour Of God
Arm yourself with the whole armour of God to stand against spiritual wickedness (Ephesians 6:13-18).

3.   MAINTAINING FAITH AND PATIENCE IN THE PROCESS 

   - Hebrews 10:36 reminds us that after doing the will of God, we need patience to receive the promise.

   - Like Abraham, we must not waver in faith but be fully convinced that God can perform what He promised (Romans 4:20-21).

4.  STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME MIRACLE STOPPERS 
a) Pray with persistence, as Jesus taught in Luke 18:1-8 (the parable of the persistent widow).

b)  Speak the Word of God with boldness and authority (Isaiah 55:11).

c)   Surround yourself with the right spiritual environment: Praise, worship, and thanksgiving are powerful weapons (2 Chronicles 20:21-22).

CONCLUSION:
Miracle stoppers are real, but we have been given authority through Christ to wage war against them. Like Daniel, though there may be delays, our prayers are heard, and God will send divine help to break through any resistance. Victory is assured when we persist in faith, prayer, and spiritual warfare.
