Praying for a #Breakthrough, #TheSISTAHSMinistry @MinisterCeleste

Praying brings you to that solitary place with God to help cope with stress, pressure, and anxiety.  If your life is falling apart, your need is similar to the woman with the issue of blood.  She wanted to touch the hem of Christ's garment.  She realized the hem was where all loose ends were put back together.  This is what praying will do!






There are times when the enemy invades our lives.  He will come into your mind, your marriage/relationship, your ministry and your business.  He comes in like a flood and desires to devour you and anything that has been born of God in your life and promised to you.  The Holy Spirit STANDS BY AS YOUR ALLY!  The Spirit will lift up a standard against the enemy and will provide you with a place of defense, a shelter, a refuge!

Prayer allows you to come apart before you come apart...!

Power Boost to #Breakthrough, #TheSISTAHSMinistry @MinisterCeleste

Breakthrough is a positive boost. You could be doing well and you start doing better.  It is a forward development, an important discovery. You could have been on one spot for years and you do not know what is going wrong. All of a sudden, God opens your eyes to see what it is.

Breakthrough is breaking through a barrier, which the Psalmist calls “Jumping over a wall.” It is when you penetrate your enemy’s defense. They have been trying to overcome you but all of a sudden, you move in. It is an anointed increase which will make people wonder what is happening to you.  It is being lifted above all the enemies round about you. It is promotion enrichment, betterment. It is a positive headway.

PRAYER:   My Father, I come before You today, I know that You care for me and you will not allow me to be messed up by the enemy. It is written that You have given me power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over every power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me. Right now, every serpent and scorpion assigned against me is dead and I shall have a breakthrough experience in every area of my life.  In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

#Breakthrough Anointing: Breaking Through to Bad Temperatures, @TheSISTAHSMinistry, @MinistrCeleste

If God’s thinking and your thinking do not line up, whose thinking needs to change? One reason we read the Bible is so God can reveal to us how He wants us to think. It’s not easy or immediate, but immersing ourselves in God’s word will move us from our natural way of thinking to God’s thinking. Reading the word becomes learning the word which leads to living God’s word, and that is when we can see real changes in our thought temperature.

Sometimes we need to change our surroundings in order to change our thinking. We hope that when God wants to talk to us, He will employ more subtle tactics. Sometimes, all He wants is for us is to take a break from our preoccupation with the world. No e-mails. No phone ringing. No TV. No Facebook™. You must be intentional about separating yourself from distractions. Ask God to help you believe in His promises to you. Ask Him to adjust your thought temperature to be more like His.

#BreakthroughAnointing: Breaking Though Unbelief, @TheSISTAHSMinistry, @MinisterCeleste

All too often I think we succumb to discouragement when we feel our prayers ascend no further than the ceiling. The mountain didn’t move so we’re tempted to settle into a faith that grows mediocre and stagnant. This incident in Mark 9 presses us to think otherwise.

The key lies in not viewing our faith, especially when it falters, as a finished product. Jesus answered that father’s plea to help him overcome his unbelief and his son was restored. The disciples also allowed their faith to be altered, remodeled. History records they continued on with a faith that changed the world.

Jesus said, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” (Mark 9:23)

Lord, I ask that you would keep working in my life, to change, modify, alter, and reconstruct my beliefs into a living and vibrant faith. Amen

#Breakthrough Anointing: Instructions for Breakthrough, @TheSISTAHSMinistry, @MinisterCeleste

The word of God is an instruction book for life, and you can find instruction there on pretty much anything if you take the time to look. Not only do we need to find out what the word says on a given subject, but we need to get our minds so soaked in it that we literally have a change of thinking that becomes our “new normal.” This leads to new behaviors, which leads to answered prayer as we sow good seed and prove true the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for you souls. For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30, NKJV)

Lord, I thank-you that your word is a light to my path and that it will continue to renew my mind as I meditate on it. I ask that you would align me under your perfect will and understanding of my life. I trust you and commit my own understanding into your loving care. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen

#Breakthrough Anointing: Breaking Through the Waiting, @TheSISTAHSMinistry, @MinisterCeleste

What does it really take to see our prayers answered? Without a doubt we have all seen those times when (to our surprise!) God just moves quickly and miraculously, and we know He has heard our request. However, there are other times when it just seems like nothing is happening and we just keep bumping into the same old problem.

I have found that this concept of “renewing our minds” is a major key to seeing answers to many of these issues. Often the main reason we are having a problem is because we are out of alignment with God’s way of doing something, and we are simply reaping what we are sowing.

This could relate to anything from marriage issues, to farming, to running a country! Maybe you don’t really need a miracle; maybe you just need to see from a different perspective. In other words, we could be angry and asking God why He doesn’t do something, and He could be asking us the same question.

The Walls of #Breakthrough

In this journey called life, we will hit walls that are designed by God to strengthen us.

At these God-designed walls, we will either have a breakthrough or stay stuck.  Staying stuck at the wall is called arrested development.  Are you ready for a breakthrough?

Here are 3 character traits that will help you experience a breakthrough:

Will (heart) is the ability to fight through adversity.

Wisdom is the ability to live life as you learn from others experiences.

Skill is the ability discipline yourself and master your craft.

Here’s the key, the God who designed the walls is the same God who will empower you to breakthrough the walls.

It's time to BREAK IT OUT...!

Taking Your #Breakthrough Experience into 2013

Push past the distractions, find a quiet afternoon, get still, and focus on some personal 'housecleaning' so that you are ready for 2013's adventures. 

1) Make a list of the negatives of 2012. What mistakes did you make? What did you learn from them? What can you do to avoid them in the future? Which projects or relationships in your life need a different perspective or approach? Is there anyone you need to forgive (possibly yourself)? Is there anything you need to release and not carry with you into the new year?

2) Make a list of the positives of 2012. What goals were you able to accomplish? What did you learn along the way? What worked well for you? In what areas did you experience breakthrough (emotional, educational, physical, business or work, financial, mental, spiritual)? Did you receive answers to prayer?  What are you grateful for?

3) Change. What would you like to accomplish in 2013? List the areas of your life that you would like to change, and list some steps--even tiny advances you can take under each one--to make them happen. What areas of your character need overhaul, tweaking, strengthening, or polishing?

4) Listen to your dreams. Ask the Lord to release more dreams to you about your purpose and destiny. And, ask for the dream interpretations as well. Write them down and pay attention. If you kept a dream journal, go back to analyze 2012's dreams. You may begin to realize that you are being called to pull off feats way beyond your own abilities. Exploits that will require supernatural involvement to make them happen. Dream Big!

What is one simple step you can do TODAY to launch with power into 2013?  Your season of unanswered prayer is here, it's time to BREAK IT OUT!

Keys to Your Breakthrough: Worship

He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” (Mark 2:12)  

Worship is the key note of Destiny!  Worship creates the atmosphere for hearing God's voice.  Worship opens the eyes and the ears of the heart to hear God's voice.

Keys to Your Breakthrough: Refuse to Be Denied

Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. (Mark 2:4)

Rather than to be inconvenienced by a situation and be complacent with the circumstances, move in faith and receive your miracle.  Get up!  Look up! and Rise up!

Keys to Your Breakthrough: Be in the Right Company

Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. (Mark 2:3)

His friends were NOT skeptics... they had faith!  Don't allow people to impose human limitations.  Surround yourself with people of faith, and an even greater faith than you possess!

Keys to Your Breakthrough: Overcome Your Paralysis

Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. (Mark 2:3)

The crippled man did not have a "defeated mentality."  Don't be paralyzed by a condemning past, chronic fears or habitual sins.  Pick yourself up and make your way to the Lord of the BREAKTHROUGH!

Keys to Your Breakthrough: Make Room For Jesus

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. (Mark 2:1-2)

When His presence is here, there's no need for advertisement.  The house will be full!

Walking in the Right Direction of Breakthrough Anointing

When you walk in the anointing God directs you.  That's why David later could write in Psalms 37:23, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord..."  David did not go to God with plans, he went to God FOR plans.  David Remembered his source. He called upon God with very specific questions. "Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?"  It is interesting to see what David did in the face of opposition - he went to the source of the anointing!  So it is with us!  If we want to experience Breakthrough Anointing, we must go to the source of our anointing for direction in how to break through.

The Cost of Breakthrough Anointing

God has great things in store for His anointed!  The anointing of God upon your life will bring opposition your way! Some think of the anointing in terms of being seen and the spotlight, but the anointing of God upon your life is a magnetic field for the enemy to come at you.  Yet,t he same anointing upon your life is what will cause you to rise above the advances of the enemy and be victorious!  The Anointing may bring great opposition but it will also bring about great exploits for God if you will walk in it.

Striving For Continued Victory

Just because victory may have been present yesterday, that does not mean it is assured today. Too often we want the anointing but no battle; or we want the battle without the anointing.  But we must understand that both of them must come together and work together.  The enemies of the Kingdom and of your soul are not fazed by previous victories. They will continue to be persevering even in the face of continued defeats.  When one becomes comfortable what they have, they no longer are dreamers, they are no longer visionary, and they are no longer progressing. If you are not moving forward, you are moving backward.  Keep striving for victories... DAILY!

Being a Soldier of Breakthrough

My duty and your duty is like that of a soldier. We do not attempt to meet temptation, to fight the enemy, in our own strength. The watchfulness that we should have about our soul, warily watches the advance of the enemy and then telling God of it in prayer and being prepared in the strength of God.  

Great warriors can be defined as: 

Walking the paths of righteousness.
The strength of their prayers.
Commitment to serving others.
Stumbling blocks becoming stepping stones.
Gaining power from seeming set-backs.
Seeking God rather than position.

Sacrificing For Breakthrough

One must always remember that true and real anointing never comes without some form of sacrifice. It is a biblical pattern that we find beginning with Abel’s sacrifice and ending with the one in Revelation where the cries of the saints come from under the altar.   It is important to realize that we have to plod the weary path of preparation for God to use us in His Kingdom. Time spent waiting for advancement or for deliverance often seems like lost time. Men forget that preparation is demanded for all promotions. 

Thoughts to Let Go... #Breakthrough! #TheSISTAHSMinistry

People who have negative thought patterns are always miserable.  It is synonymous to carrying around 200 pounds of cement each and every day.  Unload the junk...!  |  "Rest in the Lord..." Psalms 37:7

#Break Through the Grudge! #TheSISTAHSMinistry

Do you have a grudge?  Some people hold a grudge against another individual like you hold a glass of water in the desert.  They act like it is a glass of rare wine and hate to waste it.  It just gets "bitter" with time.  As they get older, the grudge gets deeper.  Matthew 6:14 says, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
