Frustrated?

Have you ever been frustrated? Usually people will think this is an emotion. But, really it is a

problematic situation. The mistake comes when the emotion of anger is utilized to force a solution to the problem. Sometime people will walk away fuming when confronted by the unresolved issue. They may even call some inanimate object names or use profanity. May I suggest that you ask yourself, “What is hindering me?”

You may find that you have another problem greater than the initial problem. In 1Thessalonians 2:18 the apostle Paul wrote, “Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.” Thus, Paul, realized he was hindered by the devil. So then for he, and his apostolic team, to complete the journey, they would have to deal with the devil. The devil’s roadblocks do not need to be accepted as final. We must learn to use our authority. We have the Word of God, the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and angels on our side to resolve any snag or trap the demonic realm may throw at us.

Do not allow yourself to lose your peace over a frustrated effort. Call on Jesus for help. Confess the Word of God. Utilize God’s messenger to you, whether angelic or human, to solve the problem.
