The chief hindrances that block God’s power from working for us
Hello Friends!
Isn’t it wonderful to know that God loves you and will stand with you in all life situations? God loves for us has been proofed and demonstrated in Christ. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us and because of His sacrifices for our sins; we now have access to everything we need for life and godliness.
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
However, we need to remove all hindrances from our lives that block the free flow of His grace and power in our lives.Today I want to talk about one of the chief hindrances that block God’s power from working for us and I will be addressing the issue of sin.Jesus sometimes connects sickness with sins. This is not always the true for every sickness or situation (John 9:1-3), but very often our problems are connected to some unconfessed sins in our lives.“And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee” (Matthew 9:1-8).
As you can see from here, the first thing Jesus will say to this sick man is, “thy sins be forgiven thee”. Obviously Jesus tied the sickness of this man with sins he has committed. Another case where Jesus connected sin with sickness or problems is in the following scripture:“And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee”(John 5:13-14).
Jesus told this man that has just been healed, if you don’t stop sinning, worse things can happen to you. Here again Jesus connected sickness and trouble with sins.This is the reason we are told to confess our sins one to another so that we can be healed.“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed” (James 5: 16).

- Are you facing some challenging situations in your life at the moment?
„He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Proverb 28: 13).
