There are many barriers that limit people from advancing spiritually. Most of these barriers are strongholds that have formed in the minds of people. These strongholds may be generational or they may be formed by indoctrination, environment, or experience.
Some people put up their own barriers by continually giving in to certain lusts such as the lust of the flesh (the attempt to satisfy the five senses in an addictive or obsessive way) Others cannot resist Satan when they are tempted to give in to the lust of the eyes (greedy longings in the mind and vain imaginations such as pornography).
The main barrier that keeps people from receiving My gift of salvation is pride. The lust of the pride of life is trusting in yourself and your own resources more than you trust in God. Everyone born on Earth has these three lusts until they die. These lusts are a part of the soul (mind, will, and emotions).
Only I can help you to resist Satan when you are tempted to give in to these lusts. I am both the barrier and bondage breaker. Give the battle to Me.
