Have you ever felt like you have so much potential, but something is holding you back?

Perhaps it's a lack of resources, discrimination, or fear. 

What is it that is preventing you from getting the job you want, improving your marriage, starting a business, achieving leadership, sportsmanship you've always wanted, childbirth in a fertile womb, and finding happiness when you have everything you need? Whatever it is, it is srifling your potential. Today, we're going to talk about how to break free from anything that's holding you back and live the abundant life that God has for you.

What could Stifled Potential Look Like?

Stifled potential can look like many things: 

• It can look like a person who has a talent for singing but never pursues it because they're afraid of what others might think. 
• It can look like a person who has a dream of starting their own business but never does because they don't have the resources. 
• It can look like a person who is discriminated against because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation and is never given the same opportunities as others.

Have you been dealing with any of these issues and doing nothing about it? Or you have done things that are so far from God's ways that nothing has ever worked, leaving you wondering what went wrong. You break free from whatever is holding you back today. Hallelujah!

In John 10:10, Christ Jesus tells you that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The thief represents anything that's holding you back from living the abundant life that God has for you. That thief stifling you could be fear, doubt, lack of resources, or discrimination. But Christ Jesus came to give you life and to give it to you abundantly. He wants you to live a life that overflows with blessings and opportunities. Hallelujah!

So how do you break free from anything that's holding you back? 

The first step is to identify what it is. Is it fear? Is it a lack of resources? Is it discrimination? Once we've identified it, we need to take action. We need to face our fears, find resources, and fight against discrimination. We also need to trust in God and His plan for our lives. He has a purpose and a plan for each of us, and He will help us overcome anything that's holding us back.

Lets get these five steps of how you can break free, elaborated:

Step 1: Identify the Obstacle

The first step in breaking free from whatever is holding you back is to identify the obstacle. This could be fear, a lack of resources, or discrimination. It's important to take the time to really think about what is holding you back and to be honest with yourself about it. Once you've identified the obstacle, you can start to take action to overcome it. As you work woth God to deal with the obstacle, there shall come fears. You shall need to face your fears.

Step 2: Face Your Fears

If fear is what's holding you back, it's important to face it head-on. This may be scary, but it's the only way to overcome it. Start by identifying what it is that you're afraid of. Is it failure? Rejection? Once you know what you're afraid of, you can start to take steps to overcome it. This may involve taking small steps at first, such as talking to someone about your fear or practicing a new skill. Over time, you can work up to bigger challenges and eventually overcome your fear. While God works with you to face your fears, be aware that you need to find resources. Find those resources. 

Step 3: Find Resources

If a lack of resources is holding you back, it's important to find ways to get the resources you need. This could mean seeking out financial assistance, finding a mentor or coach, or taking classes to learn new skills. It's important to be proactive and take action to get the resources you need. Don't be afraid to ask for help or to seek out new opportunities. Once God has enabled you find the resources,  now need to fight the actual obstacle that was holding you back. Lets take discrimination forinstance. Take action and Fight against discrimination.

Step 4: Take Action and Fight Against Discrimination

If discrimination is what's holding you back, it's important to take action to fight against it. This may involve speaking out against discrimination, seeking legal assistance, or joining a group that advocates for your rights. It's important to know your rights and to stand up for yourself and others who may be facing discrimination. Pray against it all. As you take action with prayer against it all, Trust in God's Plan. 

Step 5: Trust in God's Plan

Finally, it's important to trust in God's plan for your life. God has a purpose and a plan for each of us, and He will help you overcome anything that's holding you back. This doesn't mean that everything will be easy or that there won't be challenges along the way. But it does mean that you can have faith that God is with you and that God will guide you on your journey. Hallelujah!

In conclusion, breaking free from whatever is holding you back requires a systematic and well-coordinated approach. It starts with identifying the obstacle, facing your fears, finding resources, taking action and fighting against discrimination if its the one holding you back from achieving your potential, and trusting in God's plan. By taking these steps, you can overcome anything that's holding you back and achieve your goals. Doing so in faith as you pray and act shall save you from a stifled potential. To live to the fullest of your potential is living your abundant life desire by God.

God wants you to live an abundant life, but sometimes things can hold you back and in so doing stifle your potential. God needs you to personally acknowkedge and identify what's holding you back, and then with prayer and faith take action to break free from it all. You also need to fully trust in God and His plan for your life. By doing as God desires of you, God will surely help you overcome anything that's holding you back and enable you to live the abundant life that God has planned for you. Let us pray. 

Let us pray:

Dear God in Heaven, I thank you for your love and your plan for my life. I ask that you help me identify anything that's holding me back and give me the strength and courage to break free from it. I trust in you and your plan for my life. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed. Amen.
