27 November 2023 - The Lord who bursts through

1 Chronicles 14:11(NLT) So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “God did it!” David exclaimed. “He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”).

Baal-perazim means the Lord of breakthroughs. The image is of flooding waters breaking through a dam, as David’s troops broke through the Philistine assault.

You can’t generate a breakthrough. A breakthrough is when God generates a wave and sends it in your direction, and you ride that wave onto dry ground and a higher level of living in your life.

God sends waves into our lives which creates our breakthrough; it will smash even the thickest and highest walls we face. No matter the strength of the wall, the wave God sends will break through it like water breaks through anything in its path. To you it may seem small at first, but it gains momentum, picks up speed and power, capable of creating the change we need. God wants to do this in your life.

Breakthrough isn’t just something God does, it is who He is!

Do you need a breakthrough? Then break out! Break out of the norm and do something different! If you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same thing. But I believe God wants to mark your life with incredible breakthrough.

Isaiah 54:1(NLT) “Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the LORD.

We serve a huge over the top abundant God who will breakthrough for us. Where there appears to be no natural way. He will provide the supernatural. When there appears to be no fruit on the vine, we ought to break into praise; “Sing O barren one”, in barrenness let us sow seeds. Take hold of the promises of God, when there seems to be no answers of our own, pray, wrestle, and hold on to God until the breakthrough comes. Patience must do its work; prayer will lift our faith. It may appear there is no life around the womb, yet in the depths of the womb life is stirring.

Are you willing to press in push up and push out? God is faithful and will breakthrough on your behalf. It was God who gave Sarah power to conceive.

Exodus 14:13(NKJV) “And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
