Clear the Air: How to Break Spiritual Blockages and Take Off in Faith

 

Clear the Air: How to Break Spiritual Blockages and Take Off in Faith

"In the past, you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the offspring of disobedience." Ephesians 2:2 (KSB)

   Before an airplane can take off, it must first be cleared for takeoff. Systems must be checked, the runway prepared, and communication channels open. In much the same way, many of us are trying to soar in life spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and financially but we haven’t cleared the air. The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:2 reminds us of our past, how we once lived under the influence of the prince of the power of the air. This isn’t just poetic imagery. Paul is teaching us that there are spiritual forces influencing the atmosphere, forces that must be cleared so our words, actions, and prayers can be effective. You may be saying the right things, sending messages, doing your best but they’re not being received or understood. Why? Because the air is not clear. Just like static interferes with radio reception, spiritual interference can block your message, your health, your relationships, and even your finances.

   You must clear the air. Clear it so your business can take off. Clear it so your ministry can grow. Clear it so your relationships can heal. The reason why things feel stuck, strained, or stagnant could be because there is spiritual clutter in the airwaves. We are responsible for our spiritual atmosphere our energy, our environment, our aura. It is crucial that what we are doing in this space is not hindered but fulfilled. That’s why praise and worship are so powerful, they cleanse the air and make room for the Word to be received with clarity and impact. This applies in your workplace, your ministry, your family, and your community. If you’re a teacher, a business owner, or a leader clear the air so your team can function in unity. If there’s tension between you and another, don’t just power through it pause and clear the air.

   How do you clear it? Through prayer. Talk to God before you talk to them. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5–6). Set intentions. Visualize peace and progress. Declare affirmations that align with God’s Word. And yes, sometimes the air is cleared through forgiveness. Jesus taught us to leave our gift at the altar and reconcile with our brother or sister first (Matthew 5:23–24). Don’t let unresolved tension sabotage your next level. Clear the air so nothing stands between you and the move of God. Praise and worship, positive declarations, intentional living, and spiritual maturity all help you create a climate where the Word can flourish. Don’t stay grounded when God has destined you to soar. Clear the air and get ready for takeoff.

📖 Reflection: Is there anything or anyone clouding the spiritual atmosphere of your life? What do you need to release or forgive today?

💡 Action Step: Spend 10 minutes in prayer and worship today specifically asking God to help you clear the air internally and relationally.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
