Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Pursuing Breakthrough

Posted 12-30-2023 at 08:42 PM by Albert Finch


1 Chronicles 14:11 -- "So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore, they called the name of that place Baal Perazim [meaning Master of Breakthrough]."

Breakthrough is the result that occurs after you have come to understand and implement your Christ identity (by affirming and meditating on the scriptures that show you who you are in Christ through the finished work of the cross)You are NOW able to take over new territory, having a more effective boldness and warfare against the enemy, and giving you greater access and entry into the next level of your Christ calling.

APPREHEND THE LOVE OF JESUS FLOWING INTO YOUR HEART

Breakthrough means you have and believe that the love of Jesus is flowing into your heart continually (through walking in the Spirit and living in expectation of that love dominating you) as your life is affecting and encouraging others to pick up their cross and abandon worldly desires and agendas.

MOVING FORWARD

Breakthrough means that the prison doors are now opened—no longer standing in the way of you getting to the next level of your destiny. Breakthrough means NO MORE BRICK WALL. NO MORE DAM STOPPING THE FLOW. However, breakthrough shouldn't stop there. It is when we achieve breakthrough, and the boundaries to victory have been removed, that we then need to breakout—start pursuing and defeating.

THE ABILITY TO BREAKOUT INTO NEW VICTORIES

Micah 2:13 (NKJV), "The one who breaks open [breaks through] will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it [new found freedom—take new territory and accomplish great victories]; [because] their king will pass before them, with the Lord at their head"

Breakthrough opens the way and breakout pursues the victory!

The Gospel of Mark says it this way: Mark 16:20 -- "And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word through the accompanying signs. Amen."

Breakout requires our going all out.

Now we need to start pursuing all that is involved in carrying out God's purpose for our life and bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom

What we are looking for in breakthrough is BREAKOUT -- the finale of breakthrough.
