4 Common Blockages to Healing

#1 Lack of Faith

This is one of the most common of blockages that can prevent a healing. Jesus made it clear in many healings that faith is important for you to use in receiving your healing.

Matthew 9:29 (King James Version)

Then touched He their eyes, saying, “according to your faith be it unto you.”

Matthew 9:22 (King James Version)

“Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.”

Jesus also made it clear that, “…

If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23).

Mark 11:24 (King James Version)

“Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Lack of faith can block us from receiving (James 1:6-7).

#2 Unforgiveness in the Heart

If there’s somebody who you are holding grudges or bitterness against, then you need to release that hurt and bitterness from your heart. If somebody has wronged you, and you still think about their wrong whenever you think of them, then it’s time to give those feelings to the Lord, and leave them there.

Release the hurt from your heart that they have caused you because unforgiveness can come between you and God and prevent your own sins from being forgiven (Matthew 6:15), and can give the enemy legal ground to bring trouble upon you (Matthew 18:23-35), such as spirits of infirmity, sickness, diseases, etc.

#3 Wrong Battle Plan

Sometimes a healing is not what the person needs. There are many times when a person is being prayed over for a healing and yet the person doesn’t need a healing at all; they need deliverance.

A spirit of infirmity has attached itself to them and is causing some sort of health problem. In Matthew, roughly half of all the “healings” Jesus did were actually deliverances! Spirits were known to cause physical infirmities, blindness, deafness, etc.

#4 Not Knowing It’s God’s Will To Heal Us

Our Christian faith is based upon God’s Word, and therefore if we don’t know that it’s God’s will to heal us, then we will doubt when we ask for a healing, or beg for a healing, instead of confidently receiving it in the name of Jesus. How are you supposed to ask in faith and receive, if you aren’t really sure that God will heal you? What kind of faith is that? It’s not Biblical faith because Jesus said that faith cometh by hearing and hearing God’s Word!

Conclusion

These are some of the common things that can block a healing. This spiritual realm is not a one-shot deal in every situation. There can be many reasons why a person is where they are.

I know the deliverance ministry has brought healing to many people because so many sickness and diseases are not really physical problems at all, but spiritual ones manifesting in the physical realm. Some people hold bitterness in their heart and then when they seek a healing, they may not receive it because, in reality, that sickness or disease is there because of their bitterness. If they don’t deal with the root of the problem, it’s likely they aren’t going to receive a healing at all.

Then they rush out and tell all their friends that God doesn’t heal everybody, or that God wanted them to have their sickness. What a mess! All because they didn’t understand the reason behind their “blocked healing.” Don’t let this happen to you!

Divine Healing Is For Us Today!

The Scriptures are very clear that those who believe upon Jesus are automatically entitled to the promises of the new covenant. The Bible never says that this would end before the return of Christ, and therefore there is no Biblical reason to believe that healing is not for today.

Matthew 8:16-17 (King James Version)

When the evening was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all
that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, “Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.”

Jesus hasn’t changed either!

Hebrews 13:8 (King James Version)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
