The Battle Before The Breakthrough

Some of us maybe feeling it financially.

Some of us maybe feeling it in ministry.

Some of us maybe feeling it physically.

But God is about to turn that situaion around and take us to the next level.

We may be facing some battles right now, but guess what?

God is about to use that same area where you have had the biggest battles to bring about one of your biggest breakthroughs.

Hallelujah!!!

Someone needs to get excited because - I have some good news for someone here this morning, the area that you are being testing in right now is about to become the area of your greatest anointing.

Somebody needs to get happy this morning. God is about to release a new level of anointing upon your life in the area where you have faced the most toughest testing.

You must contend with your giant and gain victory over it before the anointing is released to manifest in a greater measure of authority.

That battle that you have been facing was just a set up for your Breakthrough...

3. Last but not least let's take a look at Isaac.

In the book of Genesis Chapter 26:1 we see the land that was Isaac's inheritance was a barren land.

He entered into a land that had famine, but at the same time this land was promised to him as an inheritance.

Wouldn't that be something, you are all excited to inherit the land that has been promised to you, but when you get there it is barren.

So what happened is God told Isaac don't go anywhere, I want you to stay right here, because I am going to bless you in this land.

So in Chapter 26 and verse 6 of Genesis we see that Isaac stayed in the land that was named Gerar.

So what Isaac began to do is plant and sow, and as he planted and sowed he became very prosperous and fruitful.

Now what happned is as Isaac began to plant and be fruitful the phillistines didn't like that to much, so they began to come against him.

The philistines didn't like Isaac so they began to bury the wells that was dug by Isaacs Father Abraham.

So in order for Isaac to breakthrough to another level of fruitfulness and blessing, he had to contend with the philistines.

So he kept on digging wells.

The first one he dug was called Esek, which means contention.

The second he dug was called Sitnah, which means opposition or enmity.

The third well he dug was named Rehoboth meaning room.

So what I get from this is that as Isaac continued to dig in spite of contention and oppostion, God eventually blessed him with some room to be fruitful in the land.

Come on Somebody!!!

The key for Isaac's breakthrough was perserverance through opposition and contention.

As Isaac persevered through the opposition and struggles of the philistines, God eventually blessed him with room to be blessed.

What I get from this is as long as you and I refuse to give up, God will take us to the next level of our inheritance.

Let me say like I said earlier, I know some of us may find ourselves in a battle right now, but that battle is just a set up for an increase and a greater anointed.

Tell your neighbor make room, because I am about to get my blessing.
