God is still breaking through.
In this Spirit-charged message from Spiritual Emphasis 2025, Pastor Ron Brown delivers a prophetic call to stop depending on your own strength and step into divine breakthrough — not someday, but today.
“You didn’t come to Teen Challenge to get programmed. You came to meet a Savior.”
Breakthrough isn’t emotional hype. It’s a suddenly from God — where His dunamis power explodes the barriers holding you back. Whether it’s addiction, fear, confusion, or self-will, Pastor Ron reminds us: “You must be positioned for breakthrough. And your position is seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
So how do we experience it? Ron walks us through David’s story in 2 Samuel 5 — a king who inquired of the Lord, waited for an answer, and obeyed when God said move. “Breakthrough comes when we pray, wait, listen, and obey,” he declares. It’s not your strength. “We are empty vessels, and God wants to pour His strength into our lives.”
“The Holy Spirit is creative. Don’t fight today’s battle with yesterday’s method.”
Too often we miss God’s voice because we’ve already decided what we want Him to say. But breakthrough doesn’t follow your five-year plan — it follows surrender. “Give it all up for Jesus,” Ron challenges. Your back-pocket plans won’t hold up against spiritual warfare.
This message is a battle cry for our generation. “You are His voice to a generation lost in darkness.” You were never ‘not good enough.’ “You’re useful to the King.” But to walk in that purpose, you have to stop doing things your way.
“Breakthrough starts with Jesus. It’s delivered by Jesus. And it makes us useful for noble purposes.”
Let go. Wait on the Lord. And let Him break through in the way only He can.
