Master of Breakthroughs

Jesus is the Master of Breakthroughs! Read 2 Samuel 5:20 for yourself:

"And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. And he said, "The LORD has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim."
2 Samuel 5:20 ESV

This is when David went out to war against one of Israel's worst oppressors, the Philistines. David prayed to God for directions, and God told him to go out against them. So he did, and this verse shows the result. Total victory. The name of the place means literally, "Master of Breakthroughs".

Perhaps, like me, you would like total victory over your challenges and problems. Well Jesus is the LORD and He wants you to press into your calling and destiny in Him. Water, by its very nature, breaks a barrier or container if there is enough pressure and force and the container is too weak. Well, like water, we need to press. Don't run away. Don't give up. Don't hide from your fellow brothers and sisters in the church! Press! If you don't know what you are pushing for, read your Bible:

Hosea 6:3 "Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."

Phillipians 3:14 "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

God is calling us to make a breakthrough! God is the Master of it. But you are the water. God used David, and God will use you. That's the pattern... and that's why you must participate in God's breakthrough. You can't do it alone, but God won't do it alone. In most cases He chooses to use His people, the Church. If you believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour, then that's you! So then, how do we know this is true?
Jesus promised us:

John 7:38 "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"

So I think it's time for you and I to press in, and press on! Remember four P's if you want a breakthrough with JESUS the LORD.

1) Pray to Jesus for the wise response
2) You need Jesus' Power
3) You need to Participate in that power!
4) You need to participate with the People in your church. The more water droplets, the more the flood of victory and healing and refreshment!

Let the breakthroughs begin!
