Breakthrough

“For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,”

??II Corinthians? ?1:8-10? ?NKJV??????????????????????

Breakthrough doesn’t come easy, in order for you to see this breakthrough their will have to be sacrifices, pain and anguish will be a part of this make up and nothing you can do but look up will be the answer.

” Cowards never start. The weak never finish. Winners never quit.”

There is a misunderstood concept of Christianity that I would like to address today concerning the promotion of salvation that many people are clueless about, and that beloved is that as Christians we are forever until Jesus returns fighting, we are forever battling and pushing away the enemy of our soul.

People are going to need to understand that the enemies strategy is to try his very best to get you to quit, get you to quit on God, to quit on the brethren, quit on the church that He has placed you in and to quit on your Pastor beloved to quit on the very ones that are looking at your life for hope.

Everyday you are going to have to make a conscience decision to serve God not only for your self but also for those around you. Fighting the unseen and believing God for breakthrough.

Matthew 11:12

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

A very understandable quotation by our Lord Jesus Christ as He is addressing the men of this age the men that we still read about today in this Holy Word and that is since the beginning of time war has been declared upon the people of God and even as far as up to God. The enemy wants you to quit and he desires for you to give up. The enemy will use the savage and the crafty to discourage you to obstruct your peace and will begin to orchestrate demonic attack’s to be targeted in your direction to befall you and to get you to surrender by all means, the devils plan is to get you to raise the white flag of submission to him.

When does he come against you, when does he decide to flood your life with tragedy or chaos and trials, when? When you decide to get real with God, when you decided in your heart to throw up your hands to God and give Him all, your sin, your fears, your concerns, your lies and your life, satan takes notice and begins to devise attacks to get you to quit. See beloved the enemy saw and heard that verbal promise you made to God and now has strategized a plan to get you to fall, to get you to give up and quit. Beloved as Christians we need to understand that the enemy had no problem with you in your sin, its when you get saved, repent of your sin and surrender to God that he begins his mass rampage against your life. When salvation is accepted by the sinner in sincere repentance, it is now that the battle begins people have a misconception that all the battles and fights are over but no it’s not finished but on the contrary it has just begun.

1st Point “After promotion comes persistence”

(From sin to salvation there’s a promotion)

2 Samuel 5:17-21

17 Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 19 So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" And the LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand." 20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. 21 And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.

A. “The battle just begun”

a. The enemy sees and hears the plan of God for your life

b. The enemy will search for you and what he will do is that He’ll try to corner your life
