THE SUEZ BLOCKADE! SATAN YOU ARE A LIAR!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 8: 1-10
The world woke up in late March 2021, to hear that the popular and very important SUEZ CANAL through which about 10%-20% of the world’s goods are transported, was blocked by a 400 meter-long SHIP (and as high as the EIFFEL TOWER in Paris).

The SUEZ CANAL was completed in 1869, as the fastest and shortest route between the East and West. The importance of the canal stems first and foremost from its location; it is the only place that directly connects the waters of Europe with the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the countries of the Asia-Pacific.
Without the Suez, shipments traveling between those parts of the world would have to traverse the entire continent of Africa, adding hefty costs and substantially extending their journey times. A solution to that problem appeared elusive for centuries, until the precious 120-mile SUEZ waterway (canal) was constructed to run through Egypt
and into the Red Sea.
It was built over the course of a decade in the mid-19th century — a feat only possible because the Mediterranean and
Red Sea were found to be roughly
level in altitude. Don’t forget that
more than 80% of global trade by
volume is moved by sea, and any
disruption could add billions of
dollars to supply chain costs.

Crude oil prices jumped up, tankers and
container ships were backed up and suppliers of everything from oil,
food, to televisions, etc, were contemplating sending their cargo around the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa), potentially adding a week to shipping times, as well as significant extra costs (delay of goods and services)! Wow!

Thank God that blockade ended within 10 days and the huge ship named “EVER GIVEN” floated again after much
international effort, but the Holy Ghost is reminding you that just as this ship mistakenly (caused by human error) blocked the route of survival for billions of souls in the world, Satan can also set up mechanisms that can also BLOCK A FLOW OF YOUR GOODNESS AND MERCY (GOD-SENT BLESSINGS) to your address (your life)!
Satan is a bad SALOR and he is a BLOCKER! He blocked the heavenly connection
between DANIEL and HEAVEN for 21 days! He is a DELAY MANUFACTURER! He is a specialist in SLOWING YOU DOWN! But Isaiah 8: 1 says: “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Take for yourself a large tablet and write on it in ordinary letters: Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey.”

2 Kings 9:20 says: “The watchman reported, ‘He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.” This is talking about THE SPEED OF JEHU (DIVINE
SPEED)! Satan is in trouble! Oh! See again Isaiah 8: 3 – “And I went
unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son.
Then said Jehovah unto me, ‘Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.”
Maher-shalal-hash-baz means SPEED! That shall be your story!
