- Any obstacle that you face is a test for you to pass. Obstacles are the mountains of doubt we must climb. They are the doors that are locked shut, that we must BE the key to open them. Our obstacles are the impossibilities that our normal man faces that can only be overcome by God's Super being added to our natural. The only time an obstacle will block us is if God allows something to be put in our way to redirect us. We can know with confidence that because God is for us, whether an obstacle is removed or not, God will work ALL OBSTACLE THINGS for our good! All obstacles may not be removed, but all obstacles can be overcome!
