“If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” — Matthew 15:14
Many believers pray, fast, and pursue deliverance faithfully, yet breakthrough seems delayed. Often, the reason is not lack of faith or effort—it is spiritual blind spots: areas of life, thought, or behavior that remain unseen, unchecked, or unaddressed, giving the enemy continued access to delay or resist God’s work.
What Are Spiritual Blind Spots?
Spiritual blind spots are hidden areas in our hearts or lives that limit spiritual perception. They are not always obvious but can create gaps in authority, alignment, and effectiveness in prayer or deliverance.
Blind spots may include:
- Unforgiveness or bitterness
- Hidden fear or anxiety
- Subtle compromise or secret sin
- Unaddressed generational patterns
- Trauma-based agreements
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts.” — Psalm 139:23
How Blind Spots Delay Deliverance
Blind spots delay deliverance because the enemy exploits them as legal footholds. Even when outward obedience is strong, unseen areas give opposition access to:
- Reinforce cycles of sin or temptation
- Activate ungodly altars or spiritual roots
- Create legal resistance in the heavenly courts
Deliverance often requires visibility before victory. What is unseen continues to speak against freedom.
Common Types of Spiritual Blind Spots
1. Unforgiveness
Refusing to forgive others opens doors to bitterness, resentment, and delayed release.
2. Hidden Sin
Actions, thoughts, or habits kept secret from accountability remain active legal ground.
3. Generational Patterns
Repeating ancestral behavior without renouncing it allows inherited strongholds to persist.
4. Trauma Agreements
Silent vows formed in response to past pain continue to dictate choices and block progress.
5. Fear and Distrust
Subtle fear or lack of trust can create hesitation, preventing enforcement of spiritual authority.
How to Identify Spiritual Blind Spots
- Regular self-examination and prayer for insight
- Seeking godly counsel and accountability
- Listening for patterns of delay, repeated temptation, or near-breakthrough failure
- Paying attention to recurring areas of frustration or blockage
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17
Steps to Remove Blind Spots
Step 1: Invite Revelation
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal hidden areas.
Step 2: Repent
Confess and turn from hidden sin or compromise.
Step 3: Renounce
Break agreements with past patterns, trauma, or generational iniquity.
Step 4: Replace
Establish righteousness, faith, obedience, and alignment in the exposed areas.
Maintaining Sight After Deliverance
- Daily prayer and scripture study
- Regular accountability and confession
- Vigilance over words, thoughts, and actions
- Continuing worship and obedience
Blind spots can reappear if vigilance lapses. Freedom requires ongoing spiritual awareness.
