There are doctrines today that allow Christians to sit back and do nothing. They defend this cool, casual leave-it-all-to-God attitude with Bible passages. Such an outlook is entirely foreign to the spirit of the New Testament. The ultimate purpose of ministry should not be to teach people how to get things from God. The aim of the Christian life is to give and to equip fellow Christians to advance the Kingdom of God, thereby bringing forth the Great Commission. GOD OF THE BREAKTHROUGH "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon him while He is near." - Isaiah 55:6 The first step to getting out of the box is to fellowship with the God of the breakthrough. The Holy Spirit will charge you with fresh vision and boldness. Choose today to align yourself with God. Choose today to "turn aside into the flame" of God's presence and receive fresh encouragement, fresh vision, fresh energy, and fresh oil. It's more important to operate at maximum efficiency in the Kingdom than ever before -- that is, getting up each day and asking Him to help you be aware of the Kingdom-current of activity going on around you -- and jumping into Gods PURPOSE for your life. Ask God for a revelation of your Christ calling. You carry the heart of a lion. You are made fearless in His image. You are created for an extraordinary life. Pray and soak in His plans for you. Open the door to your future. THE CRUCIAL DAYS AT HAND God is looking about the entire earth, searching for the upright in heart. To them, God will prove Himself strong and sure (2 Chronicles 16:9). The Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the time in which they lived, the season at hand, and were well aware of what the people of God should be accomplishing (1 Chronicles 12:32). WHAT IS THE TIME IN WHICH WE NOW LIVE? The Scripture declares that the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God (Habakkuk 2:14). The Kingdom of God is not advancing commensurately with the earths population growth. This is due to inadequate teaching and preaching that keeps believers stagnate in their spiritual life. This is the time to walk with true goals, aims and divine purposes, not drift about in an endless circle. Ephesians 5:14-17 -- "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead! And Christ will shine on you. So pay close attention to how you live. Don't live like ignorant men, but like wise men. Make good use of every occasion you get….try to find out what the Lord wants you to do." These are days of DESTINY, filled with wonder and excitement, as the works of God are being displayed (Psalm 90:16-17). The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the hearts of God's people with great expectation (Isaiah 64:1). Expect to bring forth great and mighty things accomplished for the advancing of the Kingdom of God (Jeremiah 33:3). CONCECRATED WITH UNSTOPPABLE AUTHORITY The Spirit of God is anointing and empowering dedicated, consecrated Believers with unstoppable authority (Luke 10:19). These are ordinary people who do extraordinary exploits for the glory of God (Daniel 11:32b). They have embraced the promise from Christ concerning their Christ identity and what they can accomplish by His Spirit (John 14:12). As followers of Christ, we are to be bold, brave, and extremely courageous. Scripture declares in the book of Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." WE ACCOMPLISH EXPLOITS THROUGH OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST This revelation is essential: we must embrace an understanding our identity in Christ and believe that we can accomplish exploits by His Spirit. This confidence can only come from factual, experiential union with Christ. By abiding in His manifested presence, we become bold and are able to stand firm; knowing our Christ identity.(Proverbs 28:1 and Colossians 2:9-10). God's Word declares that the fullness of the Godhead is in Christ and that we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:9-10) and, therefore have a passion to disciple, equip, and send out others to move forward the Great Commssion. Rejoice, for you can know for certain that the Kingdom is in you for such a day as this! Be confident: you are born for this day. Do not delay to move forward by faith, walking in victory and taking your place as an overcomer, embracing fully the DESTINY God has planned for you (see Ephesians 5:14-17 above). AFFIRMATION: I arise to the occasion and take my place as a victorious overcomer, standing strong and bold in God's CALLING on my life, declaring that the Kingdom of God is manifesting through my fruit bearing that remains as I disciple, equip, and send out others with an understanding of their Christ identity in obedience to Jesus (Matthew 28:19).

A challenge today is to ask yourself this: Do you just add to the noise within life's circumstances, or do you speak life to the dry bones, the dead dreams, the impossible situations? John 11:11 is for NOW: "…Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up." Determine to be one of those who believe. 2025 needs your faith for resurrection power. 2025 needs your faith for the prophetic, Lazarus-style solutions and miracles. This is a season where you will see what looked dead resurrect before your eyes. God has "manna" stored up to bless and provide for you as you do what He's called you to do this year. This "manna" is supernatural provision that will often come from unusual sources, unexpected places, and in creative ways. Be about the Father's business in your daily business, and a feast of blessing will await you as the Isaiah 22:22 doors open to you (doors ONLY God can open). Expect God's glory to intensify and open up supernatural atmospheres and gateways to glory realms of revelation—especially new realms of creativity and solutions never dreamed of before as your passion substantiates your dedication to bring forth the Great Commission. You're still standing, and this is victory! This is the season you've been prepared for and anointed for. Be blessed -- God loves you and His breath is reviving you.

"My Beloved spake, and said unto me, 'Rise up, My love, My fair one, and come away.'" Song of Solomon 2:10 The Lord has something far better to offer us if we will respond to His call to "rise up" with Him into a higher realm of spiritual reality. To this pressing call, He adds a word of encouragement: "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." - Song of Solomon 2:11-12 We are living in the time of the birthing of a new day. Herein is the cause of our wondering. What is happening as we feel the birth pains of this new day? All that Jesus did in a single body during His first coming, He will again do through a corporate Body. Presently, he is preparing us for the destinies that He has individually prepared for us. A NEW REALM OF SPRITUAL LIFE Winter speaks of a time of barrenness in our spiritual experience. It is a period of time during which the Lord is (seemingly) absent from us, and in which there is little or no moving or quickening of His presence within us, or in our ministry. The "winter being past" speaks of a present occasion for us to be birthed into a new realm of spiritual life and experience revelation of how to more effectively advance His Kingdom in the earth. The "flowers appearing" speaks of our spiritual growth with the resultant fruit-bearing that remains for the Kingdom. Our repentant response to the withdrawal of His presence from us has produced a spiritual breakthrough within us – the initiative for our life and ministry has passed to Him. We are abiding in Him and He in us. Our lives and ministry to equip others in their Christ Identity are producing results that were never before seen, as we are being lifted into the spirit realm. The "singing of birds" speaks of worship that flows up to the Lord from deep within us. The "voice of the turtle" speaks of our becoming "prophetic" and speaking forth His Word with substance and power releasing the manifest presence and glory of the Lord. INVITING THE LORD TO COME WITHIN This experience will not come through an intellectual comprehension or understanding of His Word alone. It requires the anointed impartation of His life to us, as we fellowship (sup) with Him. "I will come to him, and will sup with him and he with me." - Revelation 3:20 He is presently without, looking through the window of our spiritual experience, waiting for us. We must quickly respond to His call to "Rise up, My love, My fair one, and come away." It is essential that we invite the Lord to come within, and give Him full control over our lives as he reveals His purpose for our life. Nothing that we could obtain, while remaining in a lesser realm, could compare with this. "Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee My loves." - Song of Solomon 7:11-12 You see Him in all circumstances. You have begun to explore the immense freedom of God Himself. You go forth to win many others to Him and disciple them into their Christ Identity. You are full of Godly purposeful vision and activity as you move forward in your Christ calling. . Everything you do is toward Him. He is your beginning and your end.

The main idea for breakthrough comes from the breakthrough of water from 2 Samuel 5:20: "So David went to Baal Perazim (which means "possessor of the breaches"), and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." The word breakthrough comes from the Hebrew word "perets" which means "To break out." In the areas that we are believing God for breakthrough in, we should also believe Him to break out from the very center of the situation. Zephaniah 3:17 declares "the Lord thy God in the midst of you is mighty." In this verse the word midst means: the nearest part, that is, the center -- the word mighty means: a powerful, warrior champion. The Lord wants to come as a powerful, warrior champion to show Himself strong in the midst of all hindrances, obstacles and blockades that the enemy has erected to stop the flow of your bearing fruit that remains for God's Kingdom. Whether it's breakthrough in physical healing, financial provision, relationship issues, ministry or any number of areas, God's desire is to bring manifested breakthrough. ⦁ THE MANIFESTED POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit, the most powerful force in the universe, is very active on Planet Earth today with His objective to displace the kingodm of darkness with God's ever-advancing Kingdom. The declaration of Romans 8:11 is this: "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." We need to believe God and ask Him for the release of Holy Spirit power – the power of the resurrection in our lives so we can bring forth the Great Commission. Scripture also says that, as we come to understand our Christ identity, the anointing BREAKS the yoke. Many Believers these days are walking around with heavy yolks of everything from religious expectations to orphaned thinking and condemnation. God's desire is to manifest BREAKTHROUGH to obliterate yolks by the anointing (Isaiah 10:27). ⦁ JESUS CALMING THE SEA: There are times that the manifestation of breakthrough is going to come in the release of great peace into a situation. In Mark 4, Jesus stood in the midst of a storm that the disciples thought was life threatening. In the midst of that storm He declared, "Peace, be still" (verse 39). It's interesting that the response of the storm was not to just ease up a bit, but the Bible says, "the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." God wants to bring great calm into the many storms of life that we face. Even if the circumstances of that storm do not change immediately, we can still receive "a great calm" deep inside our hearts. ⦁ NEW BEGINNINGS Isaiah 43:19 - Nothing compares to what I'm going to do with you says the Lord! Behold, I am going to do a brand new thing with you personally. See, I've already begun to do it. Don't you see it? In the land of New Beginnings, we must remove the masks and veils that a life absorbed in self has formed in the past season so we can now discern our new vision concerning our Christ calling. Isaiah 41:15 ("Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff") has become a key word for us. There is a new understanding for us in the invisible world. This will allow us to display the wisdom of God to the powers and principalities that have blocked you in past seasons. Jesus says: 'You shall see the Heaven OPENED, and a way between Heaven and earth, between God and man, made clear. I am that way. I will open Heaven by My own blood.' "Then He added, 'In truth, in very truth I tell you all, you shall see heaven wide open…..'" - John 1:51 Your time in communion with the Lord will raise you to that "Come up here, let me show you something you didn't know before" place for substantial breakthrough. "I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying 'Come up here: I will show you what is to come in the future.'" - Revelation 4:1 PRAYER: Lord, I ask you now to pour out the Spirit of the Overcomer. I lift up my head and receive the King of Glory to breakthrough so that I can breakout. Lord, stir me out of the wilderness and grip me with a holy violence and jealousy to lay hold of my Christ calling and DESTINY in Christ. I am available to do great exploits in moving your Great Commission forward in Your Name! - Amen ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-43791 point

Isaiah 60:1–2: "Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh's glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of His glory appears over you!" (Isaiah 60:1–2 TPT) It's time for the Church to rise up and be radiant! Since we've crossed the threshold into the year of 2025, we have not merely stepped into a new era—a new season in the Spirit. The Lord is calling you to rise up and be radiant because His glory is rising upon His people. You were created to live each and every day with a vibrant awareness of God's divine presence and a passion to bring forth the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) -- Christ in you, the hope of glory! "Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!" (Colossians 1:27 TPT) Are you currently living a lifestyle that radiantly reflects the glory of God? Each one of us has a God-given calling to walk as an ambassador of Christ in our generation. As an integral part of the harvest, we must lead lives full of the Spirit, marked by both power and passion to disciple, equip, and send out others to bring forth the Great Commission. Lives of radical, Spirit-inspired holiness and purpose are necessary to change the way people think.

We have been created to carry the glory of God. Hebrews 2 says that through Christ's suffering, He brought many sons to glory. We are the house of God, and He wants to dwell in His house. It was always God's intention to dwell with mankind. It's time we get hungry for a revelation of His glory in our Christ calling. We are created in and for the realm of shekinah glory. We are postured to behold the glory of God, the image of the invisible God (see Colossians 1:15). The more we dwell in His glory, the greater the revelation of His nature in our lives. It's through restored intimacy that we discover our truest nature in Him. The Shekinah glory that we have access to through the Blood covenant of Jesus empowers us to live the life of an overcomer -- walking in and bearing fruit that remains by discipling, equipping, and sending out others to move His Kingdom forward -- in the abiding presence of Holy Spirit with the endorsement of Heaven following -- to establish the Great Commission thereby discplacing the kingdom of darlkess in the earth. As we move from glory to glory in our Christ calling, the reign and rule of Christ is evidenced.

Psalm 73:25 - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." Because God alone is God, and the only one who is truly adorable, He has the right to claim us wholly for Himself. Without an appropriate surrender our part, He cannot manifest His power. As fully as God gives Himself to us, so fully does He desire that we give ourselves to Him. Ask Him for an understanding of His purpose for your life -- entirely committed to God to advance His everlasting Kingdom in the earth and bring forth the Great Commission! How wonderful the grace that calls us to it! How blessed the separation from men, the self-pleasing agendas, and all that might draw us away from God. Totally dedicated to God and dead to the world and all that it offers! How sweet the discovery and of all that it means, and all that God gives us with it! Ecclesiastes 6:12 - "For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?" It is better to have never been born than to live and not fulfill the purpose for which you were given life. This truth is echoed in this scripture. In essence, when you become aware of the calling of God in Christ that resides within you, you are obligated to release that wealth to the world around you. What lies behind you is history and what lies before you is the future, but these are both tiny matters compared to what lies within you. Are you living a stillbirth life? Are you aborting your entire purpose for living? Move beyond the familiar patterns and experiences of your life to the dreams and plans, and imaginations that wait within you to fulfill eternity.

Genesis 18:1,2 - "One day Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day. 2 He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground." In Genesis 18 Abraham was sitting in front of his tent during the heat of the day. All of a sudden he looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. What Abraham did next catalyzed the destiny for himself and Sarah: He stood up and he ran to meet them. The arrival of these men wasn't convenient and it wasn't expected. At first, he didn't even realize that it was the Lord! Abraham INTERRUPTED what he was doing in order to host the men. His being willing to INTERRUPT his plans resulted in the fulfillment of God's promise for the son that they had been waiting on for more than 20 years (Genesis 18:10)! Those who are prepared to INTERRUPT and adjust their own plans and schedules as God intervenes will see new doors for personal breakthrough and Kingdom advancement open.

"You greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory…" (1 Peter 1:8). "I delight to do Your will, O my God" (Psalm 40:8). In our hearts there is exceeding glory. When you lose your heart and Another takes your heart, and you lose your desires and He takes the desires, then you live in that sunshine of bliss that no mortal can ever touch. Divine immortality swallows up all natural mortality. It is exquisite to walk in the Spirit -- rejoice inwardly, praise God reverently, and know that you are an increasing force of immortality advancing His Kingdom. 2 Timothy 1:11,12 - "And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things…" The reason Paul was never defeated by satan's attacks is that he had made a decision. He decided he would not stop or give up until he had apprehended that for which Christ Jesus had apprehended him (Philippians 3:12). Likewise the only way you'll be able to resist the devil's attacks and successfully achieve your calling in Christ is by determining never to stop until you have accomplished your divine assignment. Jesus taught that those who "endure to the end" are the ones who will receive the prize (Matthew 24:13). For power to be effective, it must work in a committed person. If you make the decision to stay in faith and "face-off" with the power of God at your side, you can do exactly what God called you to do.

Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life." When God breathes in us and upon us, we are receiving His inspiration. Our goal in worship is not just to sing a song to God but to get to such a place of intimate connection that inspiration takes place where we receive a deposit from Heaven. The result of being inspired by God brings us into alignment with His thoughts, His heart and brings a flow of true worship in our lives. He is looking for those who want to be "one" with Him in worship. God wants to enjoin Himself with us in such a way that Heaven on earth will be manifested. The voice of God being released through us in worship causes the angels of God to be activated, ushering a greater realm of His glory in our midst. Prophetic worship is not only something that flows from our intimacy with the Lord, but also aids our lives and Christ calling through activating angels of breakthrough – it will be revolutionary for us giving us victory from glory to glory. Where are you needing breakthrough? Spend time in that prophetic expression of worship both personally and holding all that concerns you before Him. 1 Corinthians 1:9, "God is faithful, and by Him you were called to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

Ephesians 1:19-20 - "My prayer for you is that every moment you will experience the measureless power of God made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of the immense power as it works through you. This is the explosive and mighty resurrection power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm." (The Passion Translation) Paul was saying here that God wants us to experience the measureless power of the Spirit working through us when we exercise our faith and use the authority that God has given us to disciple, equip, and send out Believers to bring forth the Great Commission. God designed for us to change the way people think and experience the limitless, measureless power that He has made available to us. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is in us to perform miracles. We have the authority to call forth physical miracles, spiritual breakthroughs, restoration of marriages, prodigals returning home, and mental and emotional healing. This explosive power is available to us when we exercise our faith and use the authority God has given us. John 11:44 - "The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'” Lazarus had to be untangled before he was free to see, walk with, and touch Jesus again. Get free from everything that hinders your ability to hear, see, touch or walk with God. It's time to come forth in resurrection power! When we do remember and call Him, and He comes and acts, He does all the work, free of charge! Our part is only to call -- the Great Physician makes house calls and charges nothing. And yet we continually fail to call Him. Is this reasonable? You are a part of a people God has produced to penetrate the veil of the ordinary. You are a golden, holy storehouse of God's potential. You have the life in you to liberate literally the entire world. "..forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:14 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-43790 points

"And also, I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) As your heart rises up in assured, simple, and steady faith, so too will you defeat the giants of your land and possess not only the gates, but the land and all it leads to for His glory. The enemy uses fear as a false or manufactured pressure to take ground from you. In a similar and even more powerful sense, your faith puts pressure on the enemy and causes him to fear the Kingdom you are bringing from Heaven to reality. If you are feeling pressure in your purpose with God, it is very likely because your forward steps of faith are putting unbelievable pressure on the enemy and it is only a matter of time before you not only break through that gate but through discipling, equipping, and sending out, open the door for many others to follow and build in that territory or sphere of influence. Your number one gift is an exponent in the lives He has given to you to disciple, and likewise their number one gift (their understanding of their Christ identity) will be exactly what you need to fulfill other pieces of your dream you've longed to see come about, the moving forth of the Great Commission.

And He said to them all, "If any man will [willingly choose to] come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Luke 9:23 Each of us who desires to personally know and serve the Lord must first make this life-changing decision to "take up our cross." When we willingly do this, our present relationship to the Lord, and also our eternal position in the ages to come, will be greatly affected. If we accept this challenge ("If anyone will come after Me"), the taking up of our cross is the ultimate sacrifice in our lives that has us abandoning other interests in favor of advancing His Kingdom , bearing fruit that remains through our Christ calling. Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee My loves. Song of Solomon 7:11-12 Once we have received this "gift" of eternal life through the Blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, we will begin to face choices that affect our rate of spiritual growth, as well as our position in the eternal ages before us. OUR CHRIST IDENTITY Once we have received this "gift" of eternal life through the Blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, it is imperative that we come to understand our Christ identity. In Colossians 2:9 we discover this central fact concerning Christ Jesus: "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Our outlook on life is changed as we comtemplate: "And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:10) "You are complete," which means we lack nothing at all, as we abide in Him. Abiding in the love of Christ and allowing His love to flow freely out of us enables us to function with the greatest degree of success, thus discovering our passion to disciple others into a higher understanding of Jesus and their Christ identity. Matthew 7:8 -- "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on on knocking, the door will be opened." AMP We are to ask, knock, and seek until we come to understand and begin carrying out God’s purpose for our life. We are called to succeed in advancing the Kingdom of God on earth, bearing fruit that remains that equips and sends out others to bring forth the Great Commission, -- to walk in overcoming victory: "…because as He is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17) Romans 6:11,13,14 - "Think of yourselves as dead to sin but alive to God in union with Christ Jesus. Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin, to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as men who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to Him to be used for righteous purposes….you do not live under law but under God's grace." EMPTYING OURSELVES The yielded life is essential for us to walk in the fullness of our Christ calling -- as we empty ourselves of the things we hold on to, allowing Him to have His perfect work within us. "To him who is overcoming, I will give him to eat from the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it]." - Revelation 2:17 Young's Literal Translation The promise of the Lord is "to him that overcomes." As we overcome our "self-life" through living in a Kingdom consciousness as opposed to a world consciousness, and willing obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit -- He will bring into our life experience the "good land," -- as we are prepared to bear fruit that remains for the harvest.

John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches……apart from Me you can do nothing." You were born to consult God to find out His PURPOSE for your life so that you can discover your vision for advancing His Kingdom. Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega." God is not only the Author of your vision, but also your continuing Support as you progress toward its fulfillment. When you have been pressed, criticized, and opposed, you can become weak in faith. You shrug these things off because you have built yourself up in understanding the scriptures that have to do with your Christ identity. You don't try to explain and give an answer for everything because you can't explain anything to critics. Their motives are already contaminated, and they'll use your words against you. Through building yourself up in the scriptures that have to do with your Christ identity, God encourages you to get back out in the fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 - "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."

Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." The Lord looks for something in us that will not settle for less than His best -- His blessing. Jacob had this desperation in his life. He would not let go until the Lord blessed him. We need to learn to wrestle with God, press-in to the reality of His Presence. We don't need to wait for something to happen. Instead, we need to stir that which God has already put inside of us. It is our hunger and thirst for Him that will BREAK US into a greater reality of His glory. 2 Timothy 1:6 - " For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." BREAKTHROUGH TO BLESSING Some have said that what is better than a miracle is breakthrough. Breakthrough leads us into God's CALLING (God's PURPOSE for our lives) - our DESTINY. "Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh…..if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." -- 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 The first step to getting out of the box is to fellowship with the God of the breakthrough. The Holy Spirit will charge you with fresh vision and fruit bearing boldness concerning your Christ calling PLACE OF SPILLOVER When we experience a revelation of our breakthrough, we move ourselves into a place of blessing and overflow, spilling over into the lives of others. We can be greater blessing to discipling others' lives when we live in Kingdom breakthrough. The beginning to living in breakthrough is found in our own times with God as we develop a consciousness for advancing His Kingdom as we bring the Great Commission forth. Here are a few of the weapons that we can use for breakthrough: WORSHIP, PRAISE, AND THANKSGIVING Psalm 100:4 - "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name." We are to be continually offering our praise to God. It is a huge key to breakthrough. The extra note is "with thanksgiving." Our heart attitude plays a major role in breakthrough. Thanksgiving is the good foundation to entering into the "spirit of worship." Otherwise we will just be spouting empty, worthless words. REVELATION Asking the Holy Spirit to pour out the spirit of revelation and wisdom will help us to break through. When we are receiving His words, they cannot be taken away. His words break up the ground of our hearts, making us ready for His will. This is our conversation with God. We speak to Him, but now He speaks to us. Remember that God always has something to say and show us, the question is ARE WE LISTENING? Dreams, visions, and the inner voice are all ways God speaks to us. THE WORD OF GOD By confessing out loud and meditating on the Christ identity scriptures and promises to the believer in God's word we receive the revelation of breakthrough. PRAYER - SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING When we pray with our spirit, it accelerates our strength within. We are building up our most holy faith. Our spirit needs attention, being strengthened by our active communion with God. Your time in communion with the Lord will raise you to that "Come up here, let me show you something you didn't know before" place for substantial breakthrough. "I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying 'Come up here: I will show you what is to come in the future.'" - Revelation 4:1 SOAKING We need to make a habit of getting quiet before God, stilling all the noise of voices and the soul. Our society is geared to be noisy with busyness as the gauge of whether you are accomplishing anything. We need to be committed to just "soak" in God's presence. To be ever present with Him is to be acutely aware in every moment that He is in us and we are in Him. Out of that present awareness, that place of oneness, we will begin to flow from His boundaries and borders, and not be confined any longer to our old mindsets. Expect exponential blessings in your breakthrough. Expect faith upon faith to rise up! Expect advancement from strength-to-strength! Expect to go from glory-to-glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom and His glory.
