Topic: *Obstacles to return to God*
*Bible Verse* : Jeremiah 3:22 _"Return, you backsliding children, And I will heal your backslidings.”_
*Message* : We all have sinned & went far away from God (Psalms 14:3 & Romans 3:23). There are some obstacles for us now to turn back to God. Firstly, the obstacles brought by devil in form of sins, lies, hard heartedness etc (Hosea 5:4,5, John 8:42-47). Without true heart of repentance, faith & love we cannot return to God (Hosea 5:6,15, Isaiah 29:13, Hebrews 11:6). So bind first the devil & his works in Jesus name (Mark 3:27). Secondly, people in authority & false teachers are used by devil to turn us towards fake god's (Hosea 5:10, Deuteronomy 13: 1-4). Pray for our spiritual eyes to be opened so that we turn to the true God (Ephesians 1:18). Finally, we are just one true prayer away for turning back to God. Also when we pray for others God can use us to bring them back (Mark 2:3-5 & 1John 1:8-9). God bless you.
*Prayer* : Dear Lord help us to return back to you. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
