Blocker #1: Not Believing that You’re Worthy in God’s Eyes

• There is where:

• You’re experiencing major self-doubt. 

• You really, really don’t feel “good enough” for God.

• You don’t believe that you can ever be worthy of God’s love.

• This sense of unworthiness can be caused by a variety of things such as:

• Not having a true biblical understanding of God’s character. 

• For example, you’re not aware that God doesn’t actually require you to earn His love.

• Having been told by people or religions that you’re not “good enough” to the point where you’ve accepted it as the truth.

• Feeling like a failure because you haven’t been able to live a life without sin, mistakes, or failures.

• Whatever the exact cause, this sense of unworthiness is a major blocker to you fully accepting - and feeling confident in - God’s love for you.

• How do you counteract that? By discovering your true value in His eyes. 

• See the two steps at the end of this post to learn how.
  
  
  

Blocker #2: Not Having Access to Genuine Biblical Resources

• This is where:

• You have a lack of information about God’s true character.

• And, as such, you don’t have a proper knowledge and understanding about who God truly is - which changes everything.

• Maybe you’ve been able to acquire bits and pieces along the way, but the full picture is still fuzzy.

• You haven’t been able to learn about God in a cohesive way that gives you real clarity and “a-ha” breakthrough moments.

• Usually, this lack of genuine biblical information is due to things such as:

• Living in a geographical region where finding a church and/or religion that teaches genuine biblical knowledge is difficult.

• You’re dealing with family pressures regarding religion, God, traditions, or associated information.

• You’re confused as to what is biblically accurate and/or are wary about what sources to trust. 

• Whatever your specific situation, not understanding God’s true, biblical character is obviously a major blocker to you fully accepting - and feeling confident in - God’s love for you.

• Counteracting the current situation requires zeroing on misinformation and filling in any biblical knowledge gaps.  

• See the two steps at the end of this post to learn how.

Blocker #3: Being in a Place of Hopelessness and Pain

• This is where:

• You have old wounds that are still affecting you 

• You’ve had very hurtful or traumatic experiences that are still with you 

• You find it really hard to have hope 

• You’re tendency with relationships - including with God -is to stay at a “safe distance”

• The wounds and experiences vary by person. However, they can include:

• Emotional or mental abuse, manipulation, or gas lighting

• Physical or sexual abuse

• Seasons of life that were extremely difficult or tragic

• And can involve one’s father, mother, partner, or another close friend or relative  

• Whatever the specific situation, there needs to be healing in order for you to be able to open up to who God is and His love for you.

• Now, please know that I don’t make such a statement lightly or flippantly. I actually have a highly abusive past, and I initially rejected God partly because I didn’t want to open up to Him. 

• But having made progress in this area (by God’s grace) over the years, I know how important breakthrough in this area can be. And everything starts with a single step. 

• What does that first step need to be? See the two steps at the end of this post to start moving forward.
  
  
  

Blocker #4: Your Relationship with God Is More Corporate Than Personal 

• This is where:

• Your current relationship with God is shaped more by the community, region, or environment that you’re in rather than your own journey with God. 

• In other words, instead of the development of your personal relationship with God being the primary focus, it’s more about being aligned with the environment around you.

• This can be caused by things such as:

• External pressures from church, family, or friends regarding understanding God in a certain way.

• This pressure can also include how you should (or should not) view, connect, or approach God.

• As well as resistance (by words or deeds) to you exploring information or other ways to see God and connect with Him

• As such, you’re in an environment that consistently clouds your view of God or pressures you to conform. 

• In this case, there needs to be a strengthening of your personal relationship with God.

• If you’ve been drawn to this post, then there’s a good chance that God’s already wooing your heart and calling you to Himself. 

• Having the right, biblically-based community is important for every Christian. But, we need to have a solid personal relationship with Him as well. And the more solid the relationship, the more we will be confident in His love for us.

• So, what can you do to move past this blocker?
