Removing The Roadblocks
Why are people sometimes not healed, when they are prayed for?
When I was growing up I went on a camping and fishing trip at Lake Weddington with Dad and Uncle Terry. Instead of going on the usual paved road that lead to the swimming area and boat docks at the front of the park we went on a single lane dirt logging road through the woods at the back of the park. When we were deep into the woods we reach a turn around and just beyond the turn around the only route to our destination was blocked by a fallen tree.
My heart sunk when it looked like our camping and fishing trip was over before it had begun. This trip was special because it was just for our family. It looked like to me that we were going to have to go back to the same places that everyone else was at and do what they were doing.
Dad and Uncle Terry had a determined look on their faces. They told us to stay in the truck while they took care of the roadblock. They went to the back of the truck and in a few moments Uncle Terry was at the fallen tree with his chainsaw. Suddenly we heard the sound of power. Uncle Terry cut that tree up and Dad moved the debris off the road. In no time, the roadblock had been removed. Once the road block was removed we continued on to our destination.
We did not catch any record fish that day but we did have a great time enjoying each other the way that only a family can. All that was needed was for us to experience every good thing that my father had planned for us was for the roadblock to be removed.
It is like that for everyone. The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) desires a future of health for you. He is the one that heals those that are obey Him because they are His Children (Exodus 15:26). He is the one that sent His Word to heal people (Psalm 107:20). He wants to give good things like healing to His Children (Matthew 7:11). He gives every good thing that people need including healing (James 1:17).
The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) took a terrible beating so that you could be healed (Isaiah 53:5). He came to heal people of every sickness that the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) has afflicted them with (Acts 10:38). He bought healing for you with his stripes in the same way that he bought eternal life for you with his death (1 Peter 2:24).
You might be wondering since that is the case why people are not always healed when they pray. You might be wondering why people that you have seen prayed for in your congregation have remained sick. You might have even sought healing from the Father of Truth yourself and remained sick. If healing is the destination of the road that has been laid out in the Book of Truth (The Bible) then why are you still sick?
In many cases, all that is between you and your destination of being healed are the roadblocks that the Father of Lies has put in your way (1 Thessalonians 2:18). You can remove every roadblock with the help of the Father of Truth (Matthew 19:26). All you need was to experience every good thing that the He has planned for you is for the roadblocks to be removed.
What are these some of the most common roadblocks and how can they be removed?
The first roadblock that must be removed is ignorance. Disease can destroy you if you do not know that the Father of Truth has provided healing (Hosea 4:6). You will not ask Him to heal you because you cannot believe His Word until you have heard that He is able to heal you (Romans 10:14).
This roadblock can be removed by studying His Word (2 Timothy 2:15). This roadblock can be removed by listening to those that speak His Word (Hebrews 13:7).
The next roadblock that must removed is a lack of faith. Without confidence that He rewards those that diligently seek Him you will not diligently seek Him for healing (Hebrews 11:6). Although hope is very important it is not the same thing as faith (1 Corinthians 13:13). Faith is not hopefully waiting but confidence in His Word that leads to action (1 Thessalonians 1:3).
This roadblock can removed by hearing His word (Romans 10:17). The Man of Truth will help you gain enough faith if you have enough faith and humility to ask him to help you have more faith (Mark 9:23-25). Your faith can be increased like a small seed that grows into a great tree (Luke 17:5-6). You can remove this roadblock by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:20-21). You can strengthen your faith by releasing the sound of power when you cooperate with the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) and pray in a language the you cannot pray in on your own (Jude 1:20).
By far the biggest roadblock to healing is religious tradition. This giant sequoia tree blocking the road to healing is very difficult for most people to remove but it can be removed. The traditions of men will make His Word ineffective to bring the faith necessary for people to confidently act on His Word so that they can be healed (Mark 7:13). Every tradition that contradicts His Word is a lie and all lies comes from the Father of Lies (John 8:43-44). These traditions are not from the Father of Truth (Galatians 1:9-10).
Religious traditions that contradict His word will make people unable to hear His Word and be healed (Isaiah 6:10). Those that cling to these traditions will not be able to understand what the Man of Truth is saying so that they can be healed (Matthew 13:13-15). These traditions create a stubborn refusal to have confidence that the Man of Truth brings healing which prevents him from bringing healing (Matthew 13:57-58). When religious tradition keeps those that were raised in it from being healed then others that have not been raised in those traditions will be healed instead (Acts 28:26-28).
The first step to removing this roadblock is to realize that anyone who disagrees with the Father of Truth is a liar (Romans 3:4). These religious traditions are a stronghold that must be removed before you can act in faith on what the Father of Truth has said (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).
Then you must lose your religion to finish removing this roadblock. If you try to cling to religious traditions that contradict His Word while acting in faith on His Word then you will be as unstable as a wave on a windy sea (James 1:6). Trying to reconcile a lie with the truth will make you unstable in everything you do (James 1:8). Do not think for even a moment that you will ever get the healing that has been provided thru faith in His Word while clinging to a religious tradition that contradicts His Word (James 1:7). That is like trying to drive your truck over a giant sequoia log that is twenty feet (six meters) in diameter.
Know for certain that you will face opposition from men if you decide to remove this roadblock (John 15:20). Those that will oppose you will not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34). Remember that the Father of Lies is behind this opposition (Ephesians 6:12). No one can stop you from removing this roadblock when the Father of Truth is helping you (Romans 8:31).
Remember that it was the religious professionals who opposed the Man of Truth when He sought to bring healing to the place where people gathered to worship the Father of Truth because it was contrary to their religious tradition (Matthew 12:9-12). Those who left the religious professionals to follow the Man of Truth were the ones that obtained the healing that his Father had provided (Matthew 12:13-15). The religious professionals were very angry when people were healed in the house where they worshiped the Father of Truth (Matthew 21:13-15).
Make no mistake, you will be separated from those that choose to cling to their religious tradition if you abandon their religious tradition to follow the Man of Truth to the healing provided by His Father (John 16:1-3). You cannot cling to traditions that come from men and the truth that comes from the Father of Truth (Mark 8:33). If you are not willing to be separated from those that cling to religious tradition then you simply love them more than you love the Father of Truth (John 12:42-43). You must withdraw yourself from those who refuse to abandon everything that contradicts His Word (1 Timothy 6:4-6) You must you love Him enough to leave your dead religion behind if you want to gain the healing that He has provided (2 Corinthians 6:17-18).
One roadblock that religious tradition creates are questions about whether or not the Father of Truth still heals His Children.
What answer does the the Book of Truth give? The Book of Truth says that the Father of Truth never changes (James 1:16-18). It says that the Man of Truth is the same today as he was when he walked the Earth (Hebrews 13:8). It says that His Word will never change (1 Peter 1:23-25).
People are still healed through the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) when they have faith in the Man of Truth (Acts 14:8-10).
In order to remove this roadblock you must turn away from those religious professionals that seem to be worshipers of the Father of Truth but deny that His power is still working to heal people (2 Timothy 3:5).
Another roadblock that religious tradition creates is the idea that the Father of Truth is not always willing to heal His Children.
This roadblock is removed by coming into the House of Truth (John 8:31-32).
The Father of Truth said that He will heal those the come to Him (Isaiah 57:17-19) His will on Earth is the same as His will is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10). He sent His son to do His will on Earth (John 6:38).
The Man of Truth said that he was willing to heal whenever anyone came to him to be healed (Mark 1:40-42). The Children of Truth were commissioned to carry on the work of bringing that same healing because it is still just as much the will of their Father for people to be healed as it is for them to be saved from Hell (Mark 16:15-19). The same Spirit of Truth works through them to bring people the healing that the Father of Truth has provided (1 Corinthians 12:9).
Another roadblock is social expectations. This roadblock can cause your opportunity to be healed to pass you by. This roadblock is basically the fear of man and it is a snare to keep you from obtaining what the Father of Truth has provided (Proverbs 29:25).
This roadblock is removed when you are ignore all social expectations and press on to be healed because you are more concerned with getting what the Father of Truth has provided than you are with pleasing people.
The woman with issue blood crawled through the crowd to touch the corners at the bottom of his garment (Matthew 9:20). She made everyone that she touched unclean in order to touch the garment of the Man of Truth (Leviticus 15:25-27). The Word of Truth said that there was healing in the corners (wings) of his garment where the blue threads that represented the Man of Truth were located (Malachi 4:2). She reminded herself of the promise to be healed instead being concerned about what others thought (Matthew 9:21). She was healed because her faith was stronger than her fear of breaking social expectations (Matthew 9:22). If she had held on to her dignity to meet social expectations then her opportunity to be healed would have passed her by.
Blind Bartimaeus cried out for the Man of Truth to heal him (Mark 10:46-47). He ignored the crowd that told him to be quiet and just got louder (Mark 10:48). When the Man of Truth called for him to come he threw his cloak that identified him as blind man contrary to all social expectations (Mark 10:49-50). He was healed because his faith was stronger than any concerns about breaking social expectations (Mark 10:51-52). If he had stayed quiet to meet social expectations then his opportunity to be healed would have passed him by.
The Samaritan leper shouted his praises in the street for being healed by the Man of Truth while the nine Jewish lepers that had been healed quietly went to perform their religious duties (Luke 17:12-16). This Gentile that had not been raised in the religion of the Jews did not let the social demands of Jewish society for him to be quiet in public prevent him from giving glory to the Father of Truth for healing him (Luke 17:17-18). All of his missing body parts were replaced because his faith was stronger than any concerns about breaking social expectations ((Luke 17:19). If he had paid attention to social expectations then he would have passed by his opportunity to be made whole.
Another roadblock is sin. King Hezekiah was healed because the Father of Truth heard his plea because there was no sin in the way (2 Kings 20:3-5). As long as you persist in sin the Father of Truth will not hear your pleas to be healed (Isaiah 59:2).
This roadblock is removed by repenting of your sin. Like King David you have to first confessed that you sinned before you can repent (2 Samuel 12:13). However confession is the beginning of repentance - not the entire process. David was still sick as a result of his actions (Psalm 38:3-7). He did not repent from his heart until he regretted his actions solely because he had sinned against the Father of Truth (Psalm 51:4). When he repented from the heart then he was healed (Psalm 30:1-3).
It is no different with any of the Children of Truth. The Father of Truth will hear the pleas of the Children of Truth, forgive their sins and heal them when they humbly admit that they have sinned, plead with him, seek to come into His presence and stop performing their acts of disobedience (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Another roadblock is not seeking healing after you repent because you feel unworthy of being healed. This is especially true when sickness comes upon someone as a result of their sins. This accusation is from the Father of Lies (Revelation 12:9-10).
This roadblock is removed by realizing that there is no condemnation for those that have repented (Romans 8:1). If you have repented then your conscience is clear (Hebrews 10:21-23). Your sins have been washed away by the blood of the Man of Truth (1 John 1:7). You overcome the accusations of the Father of Lies by testifying that your sins were paid for with the blood of the Man of Truth (Revelation 12:11).
The Father of Truth sent His Word to heal those that had foolishly brought sickness on themselves by disobeying Him (Psalm 107:17-20). He that strikes people with sickness for their disobedience heals them when they repent (Isaiah 19:22). He longs you to heal you after you repent (Hosea 6:1). After His chastisement has brought about repentance then lift up your hands to receive the healing that He wants to give (Hebrews 12:11-13)! The Man of Truth purchased healing as surely as he purchased salvation from Hell for those that repent (1 Peter 2:24-25). He desires above all things that you be in health as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2).
One last roadblock can be your relationships with other people because it can keep your soul from prospering.
Mistreating other people can prevent the Father of Truth from hearing your pleas (Zechariah 7:9-13). Mistreatment of other people puts you in a bad position with their Maker (Matthew 5:22). You will not be forgiven of your sins and healed if you do not forgive others of their sins (Matthew 6:15). You cannot experience the love of the Father of Truth when you have no compassion for those in need (1 John 3:17).
You can learn habits that bring sickness upon you from others when you surround yourself with those that do not know Him (Psalm 106:35-36). Hanging around those oppose Him can lead you into doing the same (Psalm 1:1). Being in close association with the wrong people will you into sin and prevent you from being healed (1 Corinthians 15:33).
This beginning of removing this roadblock is recognizing that your treatment of other people is just as important as your treatment of the Father of Truth (Matthew 22:37-39). The rest of removing this roadblock is taking the appropriate action.
If things are not right between you and someone else then you must try to reconcile with them before seeking healing from the Father of Truth (Matthew 5:23-24).
If you see another of the Children of Truth sin and do not rebuke them then you hate them (Leviticus 19:17). You cannot have His love in your heart and hate anyone (1 John 4:20). If you love others then you must confront them when you see them sin, even to the point of confronting them in front of the entire congregation if necessary, if you want to be healed (Matthew 18:15-17).
You cannot hold a grudge or seek to avenge yourself if you love others as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). If you want to be healed then you must forgive others so the Father of Truth will hear your pleas for healing (Mark 11:25).
You will not be shown the mercy of being healed if you do not show mercy to others (James 2:13). Your faith to be healed will be totally useless unless you show compassion on those in need by doing what you can to meet their needs (James 2:14-17).
If you have sinned against another then you must confess your sin to them and seek their forgiveness so that you can be healed when you both plead with the Father of Truth for you to be healed (James 5:16).
You must be separate from those that reject the Father of Truth and cleave to those that love Him if you want to be healed (Nehemiah 10:28-29). You must delight in His Word instead of those that mock it (Psalm 1:1-2). If you want an unwavering faith then assemble together with other Children of Truth who can build you up in your faith in His Word (Hebrews 10:23-25).
In short the best way to remove this roadblock is to have a pure religion that consists of taking care of other people in their distress and keeping separate from those that would pull you out of the House of Truth (James 1:27).
So faith that the Father of Truth can heal you and is willing to heal you is far from being all there is to reaching the healing that He has prepared for you. You will be healed if you are persistent in seeking after it enough to remove the roadblocks (Luke 11:5-10).
Healing can come other ways as well but you have no control over those things. People can persist in their faith to bring healing to their friends that are lacking in faith (Luke 5:18-20). The Father of Truth can heal anyone He wants to bring people into the House of Truth (Luke 5:21-25). The Man of Truth can heal anyone that he wants even if they have no faith (Luke 22:50-52).
Healing awaits for those that are willing to remove the roadblocks and come into the House of Truth. Salvation is greater than healing for your body will die while your spirit will live forever. You need to come into the House of Truth where you can be saved from sickness and Hell. You come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth your king because your believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Come into the House of Truth.

He that strikes people with sickness for their disobedience heals them when they repent (Isaiah 19:22). He longs you to heal you after you repent (Hosea 6:1). After His chastisement has brought about repentance then lift up your hands to receive the healing that He wants to give (Hebrews 12:11-13)! The Man of Truth purchased healing as surely as he purchased salvation from Hell for those that repent (1 Peter 2:24-25). He desires above all things that you be in health as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2).
One last roadblock can be your relationships with other people because it can keep your soul from prospering.
Mistreating other people can prevent the Father of Truth from hearing your pleas (Zechariah 7:9-13). Mistreatment of other people puts you in a bad position with their Maker (Matthew 5:22). You will not be forgiven of your sins and healed if you do not forgive others of their sins (Matthew 6:15). You cannot experience the love of the Father of Truth when you have no compassion for those in need (1 John 3:17).
You can learn habits that bring sickness upon you from others when you surround yourself with those that do not know Him (Psalm 106:35-36). Hanging around those oppose Him can lead you into doing the same (Psalm 1:1). Being in close association with the wrong people will you into sin and prevent you from being healed (1 Corinthians 15:33).
This beginning of removing this roadblock is recognizing that your treatment of other people is just as important as your treatment of the Father of Truth (Matthew 22:37-39). The rest of removing this roadblock is taking the appropriate action.
If things are not right between you and someone else then you must try to reconcile with them before seeking healing from the Father of Truth (Matthew 5:23-24).
If you see another of the Children of Truth sin and do not rebuke them then you hate them (Leviticus 19:17). You cannot have His love in your heart and hate anyone (1 John 4:20). If you love others then you must confront them when you see them sin, even to the point of confronting them in front of the entire congregation if necessary, if you want to be healed (Matthew 18:15-17).
You cannot hold a grudge or seek to avenge yourself if you love others as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). If you want to be healed then you must forgive others so the Father of Truth will hear your pleas for healing (Mark 11:25).
You will not be shown the mercy of being healed if you do not show mercy to others (James 2:13). Your faith to be healed will be totally useless unless you show compassion on those in need by doing what you can to meet their needs (James 2:14-17).
If you have sinned against another then you must confess your sin to them and seek their forgiveness so that you can be healed when you both plead with the Father of Truth for you to be healed (James 5:16).
You must be separate from those that reject the Father of Truth and cleave to those that love Him if you want to be healed (Nehemiah 10:28-29). You must delight in His Word instead of those that mock it (Psalm 1:1-2). If you want an unwavering faith then assemble together with other Children of Truth who can build you up in your faith in His Word (Hebrews 10:23-25).
In short the best way to remove this roadblock is to have a pure religion that consists of taking care of other people in their distress and keeping separate from those that would pull you out of the House of Truth (James 1:27).
So faith that the Father of Truth can heal you and is willing to heal you is far from being all there is to reaching the healing that He has prepared for you. You will be healed if you are persistent in seeking after it enough to remove the roadblocks (Luke 11:5-10).
Healing can come other ways as well but you have no control over those things. People can persist in their faith to bring healing to their friends that are lacking in faith (Luke 5:18-20). The Father of Truth can heal anyone He wants to bring people into the House of Truth (Luke 5:21-25). The Man of Truth can heal anyone that he wants even if they have no faith (Luke 22:50-52).
Healing awaits for those that are willing to remove the roadblocks and come into the House of Truth. Salvation is greater than healing for your body will die while your spirit will live forever. You need to come into the House of Truth where you can be saved from sickness and Hell. You come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth your king because your believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Come into the House of Truth.
