I wrote this phrase down a few months ago, “God is the God of our breaking through, not our peeking through!”
We shouldn’t be peeking around the corner to see how things are going; we should be looking expectantly for our breakthrough, “by faith”.
Our breakthroughs come as we are following God and His leading. God will lead us to the breakthrough and His best is found on the other side of it.
We must get real with any obstacles to realize our breakthrough. We must settle our fears before we start the following process, as we will need faith in God’s Word to pursue God’s leading. Amen!
Breakthrough by definition is to have an offensive assault, moving beyond obstacles, and along the way make an important discovery.
The opposite effect is obtained by peeking through, which by definition brings up a very interesting word: Furtive—attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or unbelief. Wow, this would be no boldness to go to the Father to intervene on our behalf because of our lack of faith.
So the timid or sheepish would be peeking through instead of breaking through, while the persuaded one would confidently breakthrough.
Remember the old “breakout game”, and how easy it was to score once you broke through the initial wall, it multiplied immensely not just a little, right?
The God of our breakthrough has this same superseding effect when we get past the natural obstacles and trust God to see the other side of our breakthrough.
On the other side is always a “wow” moment. I use the word “wow” a lot so I thought I would take the time to define it—a) expressing astonishment or admiration. b) strong pleasure and enthusiastic approval. Yep, this is exactly how I feel about God and His provisions. Amen!
I am always expecting to see what I am looking for with my faith.
We must see the other side of our breakthrough as we pursue it, this truly pleases God. Faith pleases God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Amen!
In writing this blog I just noticed that we are the ones that are to do the approaching. If we are waiting for God to break us through, we could be waiting a while! It’s time for us to take that step of approaching.
A breakthrough must be pursued to have our desired outcome.
The opposite of approaching God and receiving the breakthrough would be halted by fear. Could it be we are not trusting God enough to bring us through or are we in unbelief because of our guilt and disobedience?
We must first deal with and be honest about the fear and unbelief. God knows our hearts, so to get past the peeking through we must allow God place in our hearts and by faith receive the power of God to breakout and breakthrough. Amen!
We know when our breakthrough is happening because it makes some noise! We hear things in the spirit that are breaking the fear and unbelief off and empowering us to take the other side and stay there!
When we are fighting the good fight of faith we at times will need military tactics, we need to lay and guard some perimeters, perimeters that we won’t cross and the enemy can’t. Amen!
The “armor of God” is not just for our defense. We must have the belt of truth buckled around our waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, the Gospel of peace fitted to our feet, and the shield of faith as our great wall of protection. And finally, after we have placed the helmet of salvation on and are all dressed up we need to start wielding the sword of the spirit, which is the “Word of God”. Amen!
We use this to cast down imaginations and pull down strongholds that are preventing our breakthrough.
You see a true breakthrough will always include a victory in the battlefield of your mind!
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” Wow!
As we take those unbelieving thoughts captive and allow the Word of God to change the way we think, we become transformed and reformed by the renewing of our minds.
We then understand God’s will and we realize that He always wants us living on the other side of our breakthrough, our faith increases in Him and we understand where and how we fit!
When you can’t see through the peek hole, BREAKTHROUGH!
Our perfected life is always lived by following the God of our breakthrough. Amen!
Never peek through when the power is always present to breakthrough.
