OVERCOMING SATANIC HINDRANCES
OLUBI JOHNSON
Psalm 18:29,33-34 NKJV
For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
The scripture reveals that Satan hindered Paul from going to the Thessalonians.
1 Thessalonians 2:18 NKJV
Therefore we wanted to come to you-even I, Paul, time and again-but Satan hindered us.
This tells us that even if something is the will of God, Satan opposes it and in some cases can hinder it, if we do not pray effectively enough.
We see this truth also in
Daniel 10:12-13(NIV):
Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia.
This is why we are to pray with tongues and travail with all kinds of prayer, to effectively wrestle and overcome wicked spirits in heavenly places who are seeking to hinder the will of God for our lives (Eph. 6:12-19).
Observe that to pray effectively in the Spirit, you need to put on the whole armour of God: which is the armour of love, for God is love (1Jn. 4:16).
When you do this as a daily habit, your prayers in the Spirit will be fervent, effectual and will avail much (Jas. 5:16) causing you to be able to overcome all satanic hindrances and opposition, so fulfilling the scriptures :1Jn. 4:1-4.
1 John 2:14 NKJV
I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.
So as a daily habit, put on the whole of armour of love by the blood (Heb. 13:20-21, the Word (1 Jn 2:5) and the Spirit (Jude 1:20-21), then pray regularly, effectually and fervently in tongues and with groanings with all kinds of prayer, to overcome all satanic hindrances that come against you!
