Recognizing and Overcoming Spiritual Barrenness

Spiritual barrenness is not limited to not producing fruit in one's life. Instead, who or what you've connected yourself to is causing you NOT TO PRODUCE FRUIT!

~Satan has ordained certain people, places, and things to hinder you~ 1 Thessalonians 2:18.

The scripture mentioned above reveals that Satan is a spirit. Therefore, any attempts made by Satan to hinder the Apostle Paul and his crew must have been carried out through people, places, or things. This is why it is crucial to understand that some folks or things we're connected to, mainly if the union is not producing fruit, are more than likely agents of Satan installed in our lives to hinder us.

Please note that the Lord wants you to know that your prayers may continue to go unanswered, and you may continue to face hardships if you persist in holding on to something He has already asked you to let go of. Yes! Although the fear of being alone may be challenging, the reality is that the person or thing you're holding on to is the source of your barrenness.

"Everything in God's creation is interconnected and designed to work together; nothing was meant to function independently." So, who or what you're connected to as a union determines whether you will win or lose, succeed or fail, go backward or spring forward. The reality is, "Your connections will always determine your direction."

For every difficult situation, God has appointed someone to bring deliverance. However, God's provision can and will only be initiated when we obey his command to release what sustains and maintains our barrenness. Scripture says, "No good or beneficial thing shall be withheld, hindered or delayed from those that walk uprightly or according to the instructions of God" Psalms 84:11b. The scriptures further advises, "If we delight ourselves (having an appreciation for His word) He will grant us the desires of our heart" Psalms 37:4. There is so much hope for your situation if you would only obey God's result proven instructions for life.

If you're feeling unproductive and unfulfilled, you may want to consider asking God to assist you with renewing your mind. Again, according to the "RULE BOOK" (The Bible), renewing our minds is the only way we can prove what is the reasonable and acceptable will of God for our lives (Romans 12:2). In addition, ask God to aid you with the spirit of "Might" Isaiah 11:2. The word used in this verse is derived from the Hebrew word gibber, which means "champion," "strong," "mighty," or "he who excels." In Lamen's terms, it means having the ability to "GET UP AND GO FORWARD."

The Spirit of Might will help you let go of anything God has instructed you to release. It also gives you the strength to resist the temptation to return to those things. Keep praying with conviction and ask God to send you the person or thing to help you remain free from such unproductive behaviors. Remember that God has already blessed you with all the spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. He chose you in Him even before the foundation of the world, as mentioned in Ephesians 1:3-4.
