Sometimes we have tall walls before us … and hard heavens above us…
How many can use a breakthrough?
ECC. 3:1
For everything there is a time and a season – a time for every purpose under heaven – We’re entering a season of breakthrough
We are entering a season where God is showing himself strong….
No matter what you are going thru…. keep going!
JER 32:17 Jeremiah get a revelation and says, “Ah Lord God! Behold thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm and there is nothing too hard for thee.”
PSA 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of then all
You need to be motivated to get a break through
I read a story about an old hunting dog , always bragging of his ability as a runner. One day, he chased a rabbit and failed to catch it.
The other dogs ridiculed him on account of his previous boasting.
His reply was, “You must remember that the rabbit was running for his life, while I was only running for my dinner.” The incentive is all important.
POSITION YOURSELF FOR A BREAKTHROUGH
1st Position – Hunger
Divine hunger – will drive people to rise out of apathy and call for God to move.
Divine hunger – in MARK chapter 5, caused the woman with an issue of blood to press through the crowd and touch the hem of Jesus garment and got healed.
Divine Hunger – caused blind Bartamaus to cry out when He heard Jesus was passing by “Son of David, have mercy on me” and Jesus stopped and healed him.
There is a major difference between being empty and being hungry.
My car can run out of gas along the highway, it’s empty but it is not hungry! In fact that car will sit along the highway until the fenders fall off, It’s empty, but not hungry.
John Knox a preacher during the reformation prayed “God, Give me Scotland lest I die” God brought revival to Scotland.
John G. Lake said “I will guarantee you that after the crucifixion of Jesus there were 120 mighty hungry folks at Jerusalem.” If they had not been so exceedingly hungry they would not have gotten so gloriously filled. It was because they were hungry that they got filled.
He also said, “I am convinced that when Jesus Christ was born into the world He was born in answer to a tremendous heart-cry on the part of the world.
Hunger will cause you to go deep – We need to go deep
No depth…
MARK 4:5,6 sower sowed some seed stony ground and because it was not deep, the sun scorched it and it withered away.
Ps 107:24 They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. The wonders of God are seen in deep places
LK 6:48 When the wise man built his house “he dug deep”
Dig up fallow ground, Dig up flesh
I woke up one morning and had a hunger to reach people that were hungry for more, wondering how to achieve success in life. It takes hunger to have a breakthrough. God spoke to me to show people that they can have a Godlife Online, and succeed in every area of life.
2nd Position – Change your words
“Does not matter what your going through – Your going thru”
How Can I –Talk Sickness when?

He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

No matter what you are going thru-
Read Acts 16 – Paul and Silas had a midnight experience – They were just doing the will of God… They delivered a possessed girl…. next thing you know they are in prison…. It says At midnight, they prayed and sang praises to God,
Midnight is the dividing line
At midnight
Midnight is the Line that divides your yesterday and your today … your past and your future …
it divides light and darkness … failure from success … defeat from victory ….
It divides old from the new…
Your yesterday is gone
This is a new day
It is a new hour -it is a time of breakthrough
The devil is a liar
Breakthrough from the East/West/North/South
Old is gone
Isa 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
The message of God is always new

MATT 16:13-18 Jesus talking to the disciples says “Whom do men say that I am ….. Peter speaks up and says “thou art the Christ!”
