Blessing Blocker 1: Disobedience
In Deuteronomy 28:1-14 God promises us that “If we obey the voice of the Lord” then ALL these blessings will come upon us and overtake us. (Go read it for yourselves, the blessings promised to us are huge!)
Blessing Blocker 2: Covering Your Sins
Proverbs 28:13 says, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”
Blessing Blocker 3: Your Words
In Deuteronomy 30:19 God did something amazing for us: ” I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life….”
Blessing Blocker 4: Offense
Matthew 11:22-25 tells us that if we don’t forgive others, then our faith is hindered. And that we must forgive others so that our Father will forgive our sins too.
Blessing Blocker 5: Being Stingy
But I just think God’s financial wisdom is fascinating. It’s literally the exact opposite of what the world teaches.
Proverbs 11:24-25 shows us the key to becoming wealthy:
“Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper…”
Unlock Your Blessing
⁃ Unblock your blessings begins with you.
Say, “God I ask you to show me if there is anything in my life that is blocking my blessing. I want to own up to it, I take full responsibility. Show me the areas I need to improve in so we can weed them out.”
1. Then be silent.
2. Listen to what He tells you.
3. Then do it.
4. Repent.
5. Fix it.
6. And move forward.
And one last tip:
7. After you’ve weeded out your blessing blockers, the next step is to expect blessings to flow in your life!
⁃ Look for them, expect them, keep an open eye for them.
⁃ You walk in the blessing now, it’s who you are, you are a Blessed One.
⁃ Get used to it.
