What is Breakthrough and Why You Need One 4/15/2015 2:37:58 AM
What does it mean to get a breakthrough? Does God want you to get a breakthrough? Breakthrough is the moment when you cross over from being confused to having clarity, from being stagnant to being accelerated, from being hopeless to being hopeful. You know you have had a breakthrough when the wall has come down and when victory has come! Some of the kinds of breakthroughs you can achieve are:
• Spiritual: The heavens have opened! The supernatural has become natural. The love of God has become overwhelming!
• Mental: Sound mind, peace…clarity has come!
• Emotional: Depression has lifted, and joy has come!
• Physical: Health has improved; healing has come!
• Financial: Income has increased; debts are paid!
• Career: You have favor at work—promotion!
• Business: Sales are increasing, and business is booming!
• Education: You have degrees and certifications!
• Marriage/Relationship: Passion and romance have reignited! Laughter and joy have come back to the relationship!
• Ministry: The harvest has come. Souls are being saved, people are healed, and lives changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Breakthrough is when that which you have been praying for has finally come. The struggle is over, the burden has lifted—victory has come!
Why breakthrough comes
Most of the time when God does something, it is in response to something that we did. For example, the Bible instructs us to not only to believe but to act upon that which we believe. The second chapter of the book of James goes into detail about this; James 2:17 says that faith without works is dead. It’s not enough to just believe. The Bible tells us to do many things, such as ask, knock, seek, repent, forgive, sow, plan, work, prepare, and much more.
Take the story of Jairus’ daughter for example.
In Mark 5 we read about a man named Jairus who approaches Jesus to tell Him that his daughter “lies at the point of death.” Jesus travels to his home, finds the girl dead, and raises her back to life. This may have never happened had Jairus not traveled to Jesus and asked Jesus to come and heal his daughter.
“…He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6
Do something different
Normally, breakthrough comes because something was changed. When you do something different, you can expect different results. Most of the time when a breakthrough happens, it is because the person made a change. He activated his faith. She went on a fast. He took a business risk. They went to marriage counseling. He changed his diet and started exercising. Through repentance and forgiveness, she reconciled a broken relationship, which brought healing to her heart. He identified lies that Satan was telling him and replaced them with truth. She started tithing.
However…
Sometimes breakthrough comes even though we haven’t done anything. Sometimes God—just by His grace—gives it to us even though we did nothing and even when we didn’t ask for it. We all have experienced the grace of God when receiving something that we did nothing for, not even asking. Having said that, we should always do everything that we know we can do, never expecting God to bless our laziness or procrastination.
Why you need a breakthrough
By the simple fact that you are reading this book, chances are there is some area of your life where you are stuck. You are likely reading this book because the title of the book somehow appealed to you. The idea of getting a breakthrough grabbed your attention. My guess is that you are in need of a breakthrough.
The reality is that you won’t have to spend much time finding someone who is either considering divorce, bankruptcy, closing their business, leaving their ministry, or even contemplating suicide. Times have been tough, especially since the recession of 2008. I have met so many people who are not able to find work, are not able to get over certain mental or emotional issues, or are not able to lose weight.
I could go on, but you get the point: the world has problems, and chances are you have some yourself.
With this being said, this is not enough of a reason why you need a breakthrough. You need a breakthrough because you have a destiny, a purpose. God has a wonderful plan for your life, and if there is anything that is standing in your way from fulfilling that plan, then, friend, you need a breakthrough.
You need a breakthrough because without the breakthrough, God’s will for your life may never be fulfilled. There are people whose lives will be touched by your testimony; they are waiting to hear about your breakthrough. They need to hear your testimony because when they do, it will bring about the very breakthrough they need in their own lives! God is the God of breakthrough, and He wants you to get your breakthrough!
If there is an area of your life where you are stuck and you desperately need to see a shift for the better, then you need a breakthrough! Again, I say, God is the God of breakthrough
