Fully Committed to Breakout

Only a content heart can fully commit.  The discontented heart will always look back and unfortunately, somtimes turn back because it is lukewarm, doubtful, uncertain, insecure, and unstable in his ways.  God needs to knwo that He can trust us with the possessions that He was prepared to give to us.  He must be sure that we will use the possessions in accordance with His plan and purpose.  He needs to know that we are fully committed to His kingdom way and not easily seduced by riches and wealth to meet selfish desires.  God needs to know that we will not conform to the ways of the world, but instead be fully committed to that which is good, acceptable, and pleasing to Him.

New Beginning

A new beginning awaits us if we let the old/outer man die and allow the new/inner man to rise because it is the inner man that delights in God.  Most of us fear death of any kind, literally or figuratively, because we have doubt that there will be life after death.  Job lifts up a rhetorical question that reflects his uncertainty about resurrection and restoration.  However, Job follows this statement of uncertainty with a declaration of faith and hope.  Despite what it looked like, Job resolves to wait in faith for as long as was determined by God until his hope was satisfied.  Job expected change; the old to pass and the new to spring forth and was willing to patiently endure to see it.

We have a promise and the blessed assurance that the old will pass and all things will be renewed, if we are in covenant relationships with Christ.

Breakout and Break Away from the Material

The word of God speaks and demonstrates that the mind controlled by the flesh has a different perspective than one that is controlled by the Spirit.  The mind controlled by the flesh measures abundance by material gain and possession, while the mind controlled by the Spirit assesses the account in heaven.  The mind controlled by the natural desires is distracted and often consumed by material possessions and operates according to the principle of buying and selling, unable to grasp the kingdom principle of sowing and reaping.  When we stop seeking contentment in material things and commit to that which is for God, of Christ, and by the Spirit we will receive the fruit of His work that includes contentment.

Breakout With Contentment

Contentment is a spiritual virtue that cannot be found externally but must be produced internally (i.e., the work of the Spirit).  Since, the human nature (flesh) is never satisfied it therefore lacks the capacity to express contentment.  Our inability to express contentment is a reflection of our walking after the flesh and not after the Spirit.

Breaking It Out with a New Identity

Every believer must realize that there is an identity that has been given to you that can only be unveiled, from beyond the veil.  You must strive to enter into that place in God to discover who you were predestined to be.  Are you willing to wrestle your way through the wilderness experiences of life, when all hell has broken loose and everything is out of place, like Jacob's joint was out of place... to get the release of your true identity in God?


It requires a willingness to submit to the death, burial and resurrection process of spiritual growth.

Excerpt from "The Tomb Glory Experience" by Dr. Janice Crenshaw

Quick Transfer Anointing

Don't bow down to the glory of the enemy int he midst of your wilderness experience, trying to get a quick transfer into the blessed land.  In other words, don't abort your destiny trying to avoid death, burial and resurrection process... meaning you will do anything to keep from being persecuted or being displayed on the cross, even if it means persecuting others, lying and cheating to secure personal success.

To get to the next level in God, you are going to be killed.  You're simply not going to die to natural causes... you will be set up and killed, and most times by the religious crowd.  Jesus was set up to die by the religious crowd.  He knew he had to go to Jerusalem to be killed by the scribes and the Chief priests.  You will never get to the place of a new identity in Christ, being resurrected in a place of true destiny and purpose, unless you will your flesh to be set up for death.

Breakthrough Praise

PRAISE SECURES VICTORY.


Instead of focussing all the time on that situation, on that mountain, START TO PRAISE HIM! God inhabits praise!

READ: Psalm 149:6-9. Here we see the PRAISE, coupled with the declaration of God’s Word, binds the enemy in chains.

The devil’s most common methods of attack are to bring discouragement, negativity, hopelessness, despair into our lives - to paralyse us from within - to get our eyes off God. If that’s what he’s about in your life, then the best way to deal with him is to START PRAISING THE LORD. Get your eyes back on the greatness of God and declare His praises. Sing and shout of His love, and His faithfulness, and His goodness, and His mighty power. And you watch the enemy flee. His power of discouragement - HIS LIES - will be broken! Hallelujah!

Praise secures victory!

Blessings vs. Breakthroughs

Remember, breakthroughs are not usually obvious and when the breakthrough becomes obvious, it has usually been in process quite awhile. Our discovery of a breakthrough is often revealed only when it’s time to celebrate.

So don’t mistake blessing as breakthrough. Also remember the battle line in natural warfare & how it is broken through.

The obstacles to breakthrough: Self, others (false battlefields) and the enemy.  The REAL battlefield is one of intercession, fasting & humility.

Warfare may not be our choice, but we are in a battle whether we want to be or not. We need to stop fighting battles designed by our flesh or the enemy and align ourselves with God on His battlefield and prepare for divine breakthrough!

Pressing Toward the Mark to Breakthrough

Once men become comfortable what they have, they no longer are dreamers. They are no longer visionary. They are no longer progressing but rather declining. If you are not moving forward, you are moving backward.
