Roadblocks



 ROADBLOCKS 

By George Thurlow

April 24, 1999


Why hinder ye the Spirit,

Why shut the Spirit out,

And block those heavenly blessings 

Through worry, fear and doubt?


Can not our God be trusted, 

Are not the Scriptures true, 

Will God not accomplish 

All He said He’d do?


Sometimes our words and actions 

Leave scarcely any trace 

And are surely not a witness 

To our Pentecostal faith.


Oh the miracles that would happen 

If we would just believe, 

But we focus on the negative 

Then the Holy Spirit grieve.


We applaud the devil

With our murmurs and complaints, 

 And allow him to gain victory

Over God’s own saints.


Get back in heavenly places

And leave the world behind. 

 Receive a new perspective 

Through the renewing of our minds.


For we are children of the King

All is possible with faith.

We’ve been given all the power

To run this earthly race.


Let’s stop hindering the Spirit

And let Him have His way.

Bring down those negative roadblocks 

That obstruct us when we pray.
