Preparing for Breakthrough

“Breakthrough” is one of the most mis-used words in the “Christianese” lexicon.  CCLI Songselect has at least 648 songs with “breakthrough” in them.  Many churches and organisations have used “breakthrough” to hype up their ministry or capture attention.  I have heard more prophetic words than I can count predicting a “breakthrough” in the coming year (whatever year it happens to be).  Normally, when I hear the word “breakthrough”, I pay no attention to it and move on.  So, I had to chuckle at myself as I listened for a word or insight from God for the year ahead and heard the word “breakthrough” in what God was saying.  Not what I was expecting.

For Christians, “breakthrough” refers to a significant and sudden point of spiritual, emotional, or practical advancement or change that occurs through God’s intervention and our cooperation with God.  We experience God’s power and grace in a profound way.  We overcome major obstacles and hindrances that have delayed us or held us back.  As David declared in 2 Samuel 5.20, God is “the Lord of breaking through”.  Breakthrough is not something we work for or something we deserve.  It comes by God’s grace and power.  Breakthrough is not the “victory”, and it certainly doesn’t make things easier, but breakthrough can be an important part of overcoming.

Although breakthrough is a gift of God’s grace, we need to prepare ourselves for it.  If we are not ready to move forward with God, then we will lose all the benefits of our breakthrough, individually or corporately.  These messages will help people prepare for the breakthroughs God gives us, so that we can give glory to God and accomplish all God has for us as the breakthroughs come.
