TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
…the Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters…"
2 Samuel 5:20
God wants to give you a breakthrough—a sudden burst of His favor; an explosion of His goodness. He wants to release His power in such a way that it overwhelms you and drives out your enemies! My son spoke to me this morning of feats of strength that he witnessed at a school assembly yesterday from a group Intense Ministries. When I was young I too remember being inspired by the original "Power Team" and its leader and evangelist John Jacobs. What is standing in your way today? As I try to explain to my son the power, all power comes from God. He gives us strength and perseverance to overcome all obstacles.
Maybe you've been praying about a relationship for years, and suddenly, things get into place. That's a breakthrough. Or you were trying to get a certain job. They said there were no openings; but suddenly, they call you back and you get the job. That's another breakthrough. Perhaps you've struggled with an addiction for a long time, but then something happens and it's not a struggle anymore. You see...those are all breakthroughs.
Selah people' and friends no matter what you've been facing, no matter how impossible things look, know this: the God of the breakthrough wants to visit your house. Get ready! Look for His favor and goodness. Remember, God rewards the people who seek after Him. So keep expecting, keep believing because the God of the breakthrough is ready to overwhelm you with His goodness today!
