Dear reader, after our earthly lives, God is inviting us to dwell with Him in Heaven. However, there are some obstacles to Heaven we have to overcome before dwelling eternally with our Father. In this post I mention the most common obstacles that may hinder our crossing to Heaven.
Basis of this message
This post is based on what God said in
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:1-4)
Below I give the most common obstacles to Heaven:
1. Sexual sins, especially lust.
2. Unforgiving hearts.

9. Drunkenness.
10. Envy.
11. Jealousy.
12. Not honoring Sundays.
13. Evil imaginations.
14. Practicing witchcraft, Sorcery, and the Occult.

Dear reader, pray the prayer below to overcome any obstacle hindering your crossing to Heaven:
“My Father in Heaven, I’m tired of the sin struggle in my life. I feel distant from You. My choices have not led me into the right places. I’ve listened to the whispers of my enemy instead of Your words in Scripture, and the result has been disastrous.
I once walked with my Savior Jesus Christ. You created me in Your own image, Lord. You know my thoughts before I speak them. Renew my heart starting today.
So today I’m confessing my desperate need for You. You have promised that if we will confess our sin, You will forgive us and make us clean again. Lord, I truly need Your forgiveness. Repentance is on my heart and lips. Lord Jesus, cleanse me with the Blood you poured on the Cross. Holy Spirit come and dwell within me for ever.
Lord, root out the darkness and light up my life with Your holy presence. With Your restoration, Lord, perhaps I can help others find their way back to You again. I will not give my enemy the victory. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen“.
