I think it is fair to say that we have all experienced times when we know God has promised something, but you just can’t get seem to breakthrough to your “promised land.” It is times like this that we are prone to discouragement, doubt, and weariness, to name a few. Simply put, waiting for a breakthrough can be so frustrating! Often times, in the waiting, we find ourselves in a situation where we feel “trapped” and see no way out. We feel like no matter what direction we turn, we can’t see the answer or a way to move forward.
This podcast addresses those times when we begin to wane and feel stuck and victimized by our circumstances. Among the many definitions of the word breakthrough is, “an offensive military assault that penetrates and carries beyond the defensive line.” God encourages us in the Bible to remember that a breakthrough isn’t necessarily something that we wait for, but instead it is something we must activate by faith. This is what is means to be offensive…to take the authority that God gives to us through Jesus and “move mountains” through the act of celebrating what we know, instead of what we see. That means we praise Him for what we know as if it were already done…because remember, in the spirit, it IS established.
Praise is one of the offensive tools that God has given to us to activate breakthrough. You will hear more about this in the podcast through the story of King Jehosaphat. It pushes the enemy back and “makes room” for forward to movement. One thing I have determined in times when I feel stuck is that I MUST maintain in a posture of praise. Praise doesn’t just activate breakthrough, but rather IS a breakthrough. Praising God for what I know instead of what I see puts a demand on Kingdom establishments and “calls what is not as though it were.” (Romans 4:17)
I have learned, and am still learning that God has invited me to co-labor with Him in bringing forth what He has in mind for me. In moments when there seems to be no way, remember the rod of authority that has been handed to you to activate Kingdom establishments into your reality. You may think you are waiting on God, but He may be waiting on you!
