What To Do When Manifesting Doesn’t Work
There is always that part of manifestation where you feel like you’re stuck. Maybe you’re a bit frustrated because you believe you have done everything you can yet life doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
Don’t worry, this is a common feeling and it doesn’t mean to give up. The first thing about manifestation is faith. That’s all manifestation is. There will be a point in your journey where you feel like everything is crumbling around you and none of the manifestation techniques are working.
Here are some tips on how to keep yourself together and continue to be positive because it DOES Happen.

Realign Yourself
So, it has been a while since you’ve seen anything positive about what you are believing for. Maybe right after you started journaling and doing affirmations you saw shifts in your life toward your goals, then things seemed to stop out of nowhere. It’s okay. This is just a time to realign yourself with your desire. Since things seem like they aren’t moving, you may have been saying some negative things about your manifestation. Like, “Why is this taking so long?” “This is never going to happen” or “It can happen for others but not for me.”
As someone who moved from the United States to France all from an idea, believe me when I tell you that it DOES happen. The key is that you have to keep speaking positively about your desire.
Realign yourself and treat it as if this is the first day you are manifesting this desire. Today is a new day and you are just now manifesting this for the first time. Remember how excited you were when you first wrote it out? Remember the first time writing your affirmations?
Tell yourself that this desire is happening and cancel any negative word curses you may have spoken over your belief. Always remember that the Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue and if you have spoken negatively, you have been speaking death into your dream (Proverbs 18:21). There’s no reason to panic, simply renounce any word curses that you have spoken or anyone else has spoken over your belief in Jesus name, then be mindful to speak life.
Have You Just Been Speaking and Not Acting?
When an opportunity presents itself do you say yes? Are you researching or studying what your desire is or who you want to become? You can’t just speak on it because the truth is that it rarely happens from your couch.
Dreams require action and you have to do something that shows God that you are serious about what you are manifesting.
The biggest manifestation action was when I got ready to move to France. I bought a plane ticket to motivate me to go and it was a big risk, but it motivated me to work hard. Everything then fell into place for me to go. I had obstacles and challenges that made me question this dream, but it did happen with continuous faith.
Taking initiative in your manifestation doesn’t have to be a dramatic change but even if you align yourself little by little, then you are still attracting your manifestation closer. Also, be sure to take note of all the things that have already happened to bring you closer to your desire. If you feel stuck, chances are you have at least moved closer to your manifestation in some way, shape, or form. Remember to act when the opportunity arrives. If it presents itself, it's time to move.
Fast
Fasting isn’t talked about in mainstream manifestation practice. It is important that when you feel stuck in whatever you are believing for, to fast. When you are fasting, it allows you to be more open to hear from God and let Him speak without many distractions. There are many types of fasts that you can do like a water fast or a Daniels fast which is with only raw fruits and vegetables and water. These fasts kill a lot of the desires so that you are open to hearing from God. When you are spending this time in His word ask him as he directs in Matthew 7:7-12, and He will answer you. Sometimes you don’t know if this desire requires you to make a move that you might not have noticed. Fasting can even open up opportunities for you that you didn’t realize were there. After going on a 25 day fast, I learned so much about myself and became more motivated to not only strengthen my relationship with God but see all the blessings that God was doing in my life. There are many testimonies in the Bible where God gives quick answers to those who seek Him and it even says that some things may not come out except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:20-21) Think of it this way, how bad do you want your desire? Every pursuit of desire has a sacrifice for it whether you choose to believe it or not. If you feel like manifesting isn’t working then try prayer and fasting with God.

Identify the Blockage
Feeling stuck in manifestation is normal however, sometimes you can block your own way. Obstacles may interfere with your manifestation journey, but this is a test to see how much you really want something. If you find yourself in this zone, take the time to identify any blockages that could be in the way of attracting your desires.
Look at your life and actions and see if you are operating in fear, doubt, anger, and/or sadness. Doing this may require meditation and silence. As you observe your actions from the past week, do you notice if we are sabotaging your desire? Have you thought about giving up because it is taking too long? Do you feel sad that your manifestation feels like it is never going to come?
Manifesting requires you to look past your current reality and accept your desire as the truth. Once you identify what may be blocking you from accepting your dreams as a reality you can acknowledge and make peace with this feeling, then release it.
Take Away Trail
Manifestation is always working, but you must focus on manifesting the right things and not get caught up in negative thinking. With positive thoughts and high vibrations, you can have what you believe. If you are at this point of your manifestation journey, it is a blessing! Remember that something is always happening, big or small, that will move you closer to your desire. Stay focused and tune into yourself because you’ve got this!
