It’s a sign the enemy’s been in your fields when you’re not seeing the fruit come forth in its due time.

Let me ask you . . .

Are you letting the enemy into your fields? Are you somehow participating in the destruction he’s come to deliver? If I can be direct — Do you think you could be playing a part in aborting your own breakthrough?

None of us wants to think that we would knowingly and/or willingly be cutting off our own fruit before it’s time, but when you allow yourself to get disappointed a few times, and then allow that disappointment to harden into deep despair or bitterness, you can find yourself in a cycle that automatically opens the gate. Now the foxes are in the field, ready to spoil your harvest!

But you weren’t made for constant defeat and a cycle of loss, my friend. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. You were made for breakthrough! It’s time to break the cycle and see the fruit, fully formed and harvested, delivered to your table. It’s time to celebrate as we bring in the sheaves with shouts of joy! (Psalm 126)

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we’re talking about how it actually happens that we find ourselves participating in blocking our own breakthrough. But don’t think the delays you’ve experienced will go wasted! I’ll be sharing three different upgrades God gives us as we learn how to stop partnering with the enemy in this blocking the blessing madness. You ready? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
