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.

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
