I remember seeing person after person getting their breakthrough. Truly I don’t know if I did this knowingly or unknowingly but I know I asked the question at least once.

“When is mine coming?”

                    “When am I going to get breakthrough?”

Breakthrough wouldn’t be half as significant if you could make it happen yourself. But since it HAS to come from God….

         ….. it can be a tad bit frustrating (by a tad I mean a ton!!)

  I remember being desperate for something to break open for us. I was tithing, giving offerings, sowing seeds all the things I know to do. It still seemed like t-i-m-e was moving s-o-o-o-o  s-l-o-o-o-w and no matter what I did I could not make it happen.

I found out quickly, you just can’t make a breakthrough happen before it’s time.

        ….Why?

He gives you the power to do the same things that Jesus did as you preach the good news to the poor.

And just as it's important to protect your freedom on earth, you have to stay vigilant against the things in the spirit that would try to take your freedom away from you.

Luke 4:18-19

 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight...
