He frantically goes through his notes to find the right scripture that he is supposed to talk about in this huge deliverance conference. Minutes become hours, the audience is waiting, confusion and glares are exchanged throughout the hall . It has never happened before. And then the alarm rings..IT WAS A DREAM! Thank God!
Brother Geo Nazareth begins the Sunday Service message with a personal dream( mentioned above) that he had on February 11, 2025. In it, he was scheduled to preach at 10:30 AM, but inexplicably struggled to find the right scripture until hours later. This dream was trying to tell Brother Geo something. It was not merely indicating a personal inconvenience rather it symbolized a spiritual battle, a “demon of delay” working to obstruct divine assignments. He asserts that delays are not just coincidences or time management issues, they are often rooted in spiritual warfare.
He categorizes delays into seven types:
1.Divine Delay- These are orchestrated by God for a greater purpose. Like Jesus delaying His visit to Lazarus, some delays are meant to reveal God’s glory or to prepare us for greater responsibilities. The first sign to identify a divine delay is that strangely enough you will have an inward peace even when you are going through the process of waiting. Secondly, there will be always spiritual growth while you wait. We will learn the art of trusting God by developing patience, endurance and perseverance which are highly valuable in the spirit. Assurance from God either through the Word of God, Visions or Dreams or through Prophetic words that God is working in your situation and so do not lose hope.
2.Satanic or demonic delay-This kind of delay causes frustration within us, anger against God, it takes out the peace from our lives and we will be heavily burdened in our spirit and mind. We see examples of satanic delay in the book of Daniel Chapter 10-:12-13 where Angel Gabriel was blocked for 21 days by the Prince of Persia which caused the delay of 21 days for Daniel to get his answer for his prayers .We also see that in 1 Thessalonians chap 2:18, Apostle Paul mentions that Satan has blocked his travel plans to meet the Thessalonian church.
3.Human delay- This is caused by human choices, mistakes, wrong associations or disobedience. Jonah’s disobedience caused a delay in the Deliverance of the Ninevites. The unbelief and disobedience of Israelites costed them 40 years of journey instead of 40 days to the promised land.
4.Generational delay – Caused due to the ancestral evil covenants or curses which gets reflected in the form of delays in marriages, delays in child birth, going through repeated patterns of problems and issues that our ancestors including parents faced.
5.Self-inflicted delay- Occurs in life due to personal habits, lack of discipline, inconsistency, procrastination, unpreparedness, poor time management, laziness, lack of focus, fear of taking decision. For example the classic example of the wise and foolish virgins.
6.Divine testing delay-In this kind of delay, God allows a delay to test the faith, patience and character of a person. For example, Joseph was given the dream when he was young but the dream was fulfilled many years later after that he was tested through slavery and being a prisoner in Egypt.
7.External delay- Government policies, economic downturn, political issues, environmental factors are external factors that can halt our spiritual progress.
How to Identify the Type of Delay You’re Facing
To discern if you’re in a God-ordained delay, Brother Geo advises looking for spiritual growth, consistent inner peace, and ongoing affirmations from God through Scripture, dreams, or prophetic messages. If the delay is accompanied by confusion, spiritual dryness, or disconnection from God’s promises, it may be demonic. One major way the enemy works is by disrupting your spiritual communication—visions, dreams, and clarity. After the dream he had, Brother Geo experienced temporary spiritual blindness, reinforcing the idea that spiritual warfare is real, especially for those involved in ministry or leadership. He states that demons always operate in teams or partnerships. They will formulate a strategy or a solid plan before they begin the execution against your life for example a demon of delay will be working with demon of lust and both of them work together in partnership and they will be working against your life or a demon of delay will be working with a demon of fear there’s always a partnership or a collaboration between two different departments. He also warns about distractions that waste time, such as excessive watching of TV or social media, news, or sports. These seemingly harmless habits can consume large portions of time and sow into the flesh rather than the spirit, aligning with the principle in Galatians 6:7–9: “You reap what you sow.”
Strategies for Breaking Free from Delay
To break the chains of delay and move into divine acceleration, Brother Geo provides a structured approach:
- Sow in the Spirit, Not the Flesh: Invest time in prayer, Scripture, and spiritual disciplines. How you use your time determines your spiritual harvest.
- Be Divinely Placed: Like Brother Geo’s own testimony of ministry struggles in Singapore and fruitfulness after relocating to Australia, your location and alignment with God’s placement are crucial.
- Connect to Destiny Relationships: God often uses people—pastors, mentors, and prophetic voices—to unlock your potential. Rejecting spiritual authority can prolong your wilderness season. When we receive prophetic word, we need to act upon it however most of us are initially excited but loses steam. Your response to the prophetic word is important to reach your destiny. Sometimes our unbelief can literally crush and nullify the effect of the prophetic word. A prophetic word must be received in faith and you should always act on it if you don’t act on it, it will never fulfil.
- Do not create earthly soul ties or deep emotional attachment with anyone: Many of us are deeply attached to the people around us which is why it is difficult for many people to be a servant of God because a servant of God doesn’t move with emotions. He always moves with the instruction of the Holy Ghost.
- Embrace Sacrifice: Delays can be overcome through spiritual maturity, which requires obedience and sacrifice. A lifestyle of surrender positions you for God’s perfect timing. Sacrifices redeems the time that you can invest for God’s kingdom work.
- Pray and Engage in Spiritual Warfare: Specific prayers can dismantle the demonic structures causing delay. Brother Geo leads viewers in a powerful prayer to renounce delays and invite divine acceleration.
Practical Application and Invitation
To cement the teaching, Brother Geo offers a simple yet profound prayer for breaking delay. He encourages viewers to repeat after him, acknowledging Lord Jesus as the master of perfect timing and surrendering all forms of fear, distraction, and disobedience.
Final Thoughts: Acceleration Is Your Portion
In closing, Brother Geo reminds viewers that God is ready to reset their journey. Delay is not denial. Whether caused by divine timing, human error, or demonic interference, every form of stagnation can be broken through spiritual awareness, disciplined living, and targeted prayer.
The call is clear: don’t let another year go by stuck in the same place. The time for divine acceleration is now. God is pouring out anointing, healing, and breakthrough—but it requires your willingness to move, believe, and align with His will.
“You are not forgotten. Your time is not wasted. You are being prepared for something greater.
