Being born of the Spirit ??? Why is it so hard for so many - meet people all the time who say they would love to have the faith to believe...but just can't "SEE" it.
They appear totally genuine or is the "blockage" more sinister
God's revealing damascus moments appear quite rare...why would this be so.....when some get "visions" or a burning bush type experience and others apparantly grope in the dark.
odd or (revelation anyone)
The "blockage" you refer to is a result of what happened to mankind because of Adam's "fall".
Before Adam fell he lived by knowledge received directly from God.
After the fall he and therefore we, lost that "connection" and were put into a "natural" situation where we were dependent on the five physical senses to receive knowledge by.
After we are born again that connection to God was made again.
However, to break the intense habit of living by how it looks, how it feels, what we hear(what others tell us), is a monumental task.
The reason being that it requires the acknowledgment that what we learned just growing up is not God's way.
Then we have to retrain ourselves to do life as God intended us to in the first place, which is by faith.
More to it but that is a brief summary.
