Six barriers to experiencing breakthrough
- Our TRADITIONS. -Mark 7:1-23
- Our UNWORTHINESS. -Mark 7:24-30
- Our DEAFNESS. -Mark 7:31-37
- Our LACK OF RESOURCES. -Mark 8:1-21
- Our BLINDNESS. -Mark 8:22-26
- Our SELF INTEREST. -Mark 8:27-38
Analysis
- Who experienced supernatural breakthroughs of God’s power? Who didn’t?
- What did each group do?
- What lessons did Jesus want His disciples (and us) to learn about Him, themselves, and “stepping out?”
Jesus teaches us that “looking up” is the secret to “stepping out.” -Mark 8:17–9:29
Analysis
- Fear keeps us from “STEPPING OUT” to unleash God’s power into impossible situations.
- “Stepping out” requires COURAGE; the power to act despite our fears.
- Courage demands FAITH that God will do what He has promised.
- Faith is the result of seeing Jesus UP CLOSE and for who He is.
- Prayer is God’s INVITATION to see Jesus “up close” and believe He will do the impossible for you.
- Fasting is choosing to remove whatever DISTRACTS us from seeing and experiencing Jesus for who He is.
Assignment:
- Set aside 5 minutes each day this week for adoration and praise with thanksgiving for who God is and what He has done for you.
