The Dark Agents of Delay And Anti-progress

As with everything else in life, Satan will always provide an imitation of God's original plan for us to mislead us away from God's best choices for our lives.

This is no new revelation. In fact, if we go back to the Old Testament in Exodus 7, the scripture provides us with the knowledge that Pharaoh's magicians, wise men, and enchanters were able to duplicate some of the miracles that Moses and his brother Aaron performed. Then we also see that in the New Testament, in Revelations 16:13-14, evil spirits will be working miracles.

Based on our teachings of the spiritual law according to Ecclesiastes 9:11, which has clearly revealed the law of promotion and advancement, one must ask what would be Satan's counterattack to this law? If time and opportunity are the agents of progress and promotion, then delay and distraction will be the opposing forces.

God's ultimate goal is to help humanity advance. However, this progress can only be achieved through man's adherence to the laws, principles, and protocols outlined in scripture. Satan's main objective is to hinder man's advancement by luring him into connecting with people, things, or environments that serve no purpose other than to distract and delay man from fulfilling his divine assignments and seizing opportunities for growth and promotion.

So, let's say God had it designed for you to meet Mr. or Ms. Right next week on Tuesday at 10 a.m. to start the beginning of a relationship that will lead to marriage and, eventually, ministry together. Satan will always send in a carbon copy of God's plan to distract you from that divine appointment with the overall intent of delaying your advancement. Again, this is nothing new when it comes to satanic strategies in distracting and delaying man's advancement. As you would recall, God promised Abraham a child with his wife, Sarah. Because Sarah could not wait on God's divine appointment with time and opportunity to bring forth Issac, Sarah was distracted and delayed by the enemy when she insisted that her husband Abraham sleep with their maid Hagar to "assist God" with his will for their life in bringing forth the promised child. Well, we all know what happened as a result of that.

Since you're gaining a better understanding of how things work, you may have noticed that the agents of distraction and delay are immediately assigned to counteract your divine appointment with time and opportunity. Have you noticed that everything in your life seems to be on hold since you connected with a particular church? Your gifts and talents are not utilized, and your prayers are unanswered. Based on the laws of promotion and demotion, do you still believe that God led you to that church, or could it be that the agents of distraction and delay led you there, thereby hindering your progress?

Another example is that you know well that ever since you began a relationship with that person, everything in your life seems to be drying up, and opportunity seems elusive. You've probably even made plans to marry this person, but time and time again, the spirit of the Lord has revealed to you that this person is the front man for Satan's agents of distraction and delay, keeping you away from God's best for you.

It's worth asking God for the courage to free yourself from the distractions and delays keeping you from where you want to be. You may have been married with kids or promoted by now. But it's as if this invisible force is connecting you with people, places, and things to prevent you from going forward.

Father, in the name of your son Jesus Christ! I break the curse of delay, setback, mis-opportunity, and misplaced appointed times in the life of the person reading this article. I command the enemy to restore this person according to your word in Proverbs 6:31, which declares that the thief must restore seven-fold what he's stolen initially from this person.

Dear Father, I humbly pray for this person according to your word in Joel 2:25. I ask for your restoration, that you would restore to them all the years that the enemy has covertly and overtly stolen from them. I pray that you will advance them to where they should have been at this stage of their life in the mighty name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen!
