Word for Today: March 28

Hindrances to Faith

          Remember that Satan comes “immediately” to take away the Word-Seed before it has time to take root. 

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.  Mark 4:15   

          It is easier for Satan to steal a seed or dig up a seed than it is for him to pull up a tree.  Satan is a thief and a robber.   Here are some real hindrances to great faith:

• Seeing no evidence.
• Having no feeling.
• Considering facts and turning to human rea­soning.
• Failures we have experienced in the past.
• Dead religion, cold churches, denomina­tional doc­trine,
• unbelieving preachers and teachers.
• Our fear of man, relatives, influential friends, and what people may say.
• Refusing the Gifts of the Spirit
• Ignorance.
• Unrenewed mind.
• Negative mouth.
• Doubt and wavering.
• Love of the world. 
• Impatience

          Strife, bitterness, unforgiveness, sarcasm, gossip, jealousy, envy, unkindness, anger, griping, self-pity, pride, hypocrisy, uncaring, no compassion, no love, greed, stinginess, egotism, no disci­pline, sense-ruled, appetite-ruled,  sight-ruled;   any of  the above will prevent our faith from developing.  They are hindrances to faith and they can only be dealt with and overcome by our deter­mination and prayerful effort. 

          The Revelation of Faith and the continual opera­tion of this revelation in the life of the Believer is essential if one is to Reign in Life.
