Your breakthrough starts with you

“Breakthrough” is a word that is common to the Christian. We are always “looking” for our breakthrough. “Looking” for ways to get out breakthrough, but what exactly is a breakthrough?  Now most people would say getting through a storm is a breakthrough. A Breakthrough might be defined as a break from adversity, a lift of financial burden, a medical miracle. Sadly a breakthrough to some people has to be something tangible. A lot of things that are valuable in Christ are not tangible.  Peace, joy, love, mercy, grace are just a few very valuable things, that aren’t tangible.

According to the dictionary Breakthrough means: a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.

Today my Pastor preached on “How to get your breakthrough” So I suppose I am “piggy backing” off his sermon. (I posted/will be posting a video on my Youtube Channel sharing my take and my notes from the sermon) I want to focus more on “the breakthrough”

I think people confuse their “breakthrough” with their miracle, or their blessing. The breakthrough comes become the blessing and the miracle, but because we are looking for something that we can see with our eyes, we confuse them.

The breakthrough starts with you! Yes your breakthrough for whatever situation you are facing starts with you. The definition of Breakthrough says it’s a sudden dramatic important discovery or development. A sudden dramatic important discovery, sounds like hearing from God. Hearing God speak to you and giving you a thought, or a perspective that you didn’t have before, nor get without him.  We need to go to God in prayer, to hear what he has to say to us; to hear what has to say about our situation. God is always speaking, we just aren’t always listening.

Your breakthrough starts with you “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”-Matthew 6:33 Put aside all those get rich quick schemes; stop looking to your connections, stop looking to your education to give you your breakthrough. We need to go to God in prayer. We need to put our hope in God, and God alone. We have to trust the things God said in his word. We have to believe them to be true, even in our situations.

Once we hear from God, we have to allow him to change our perspective, renew our minds, and restore our hope. We have to let go of our old ways for doing things, and allow God to show us a new way. We have to let go of our old mindsets and allow God to renew our mind. We have to let go of out doubt, and hold on to our faith in the God that we serve. The God that we know is true and working things out for our favor.

So what are you saying Des?

I’m saying your breakthrough may not be $50,000 appearing suddenly in your bank account, but your breakthrough, may simply be in the restoration of your faith. Your breakthrough may not be in the healing of your sick aunt, but the belief that God will do it, if it’s according to his will, and if it’s not he knows what he’s doing. Your breakthrough may not be in getting married, but in your contentment with Christ. Your breakthrough is in your relationship with Christ, it’s in your prayers to God. Your breakthrough is in hearing what God has to say to you.

I pray that someone is encouraged by knowing that their breakthrough starts with them. We don’t have to wait to see things happen, but we can see why things are happening, by seeking God. Allowing him to speak to us and give us a different perspective of things. 

If you love someone tell them.

I love you.
