Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer

January 13, 2009 (Day Ten)

Are you tired of waiting on the breakthrough you need from God today? Does it seem like it’s taking too long for the barriers to come down? Genesis, the first book of the Bible, gives us the story of Noah in chapters 6-9. Measure the injustice of your delay against his mission.

At six hundred years old Noah found grace in the eyes of God. He was instructed to build something he had never heard of (a boat) to save himself and his family from something he had never seen (rain). All he had to do was work on the project for one hundred and twenty years in an environment so wicked, that God had already decided to destroy every living thing on the earth because of it! When it was complete (Noah was now 720 years old) he took his family inside with the animals and sat seven days while nothing happened. Then it started raining for forty days and nights. To top it all off he got to stay in the boat, with the animals for another one hundred and fifty days just floating around. (The Ark had no rudder for directional movement)

The twenty-one day Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer is designed to help you put the things of your life into perspective. Romans 8:25 encourages us, “But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” Your breakthrough is coming. Wait for it with hope and eagerness.

Think about this today, if you fall in love with the process of faith then you can enjoy the journey without being angry for the path it takes. 1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love, “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” You have that love in your heart by the grace and mercy of God. Let it flow out of you today with laser focus. John 6:27 helps us bring that focus into perspective, “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life…”

You will be tempted to give up. Don’t give in. James 1:12 offer us this blessing, “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

Send me your testimony of deliverance and breakthrough. Email it to me at pastor@clfn.org. I can’t wait to hear what God has done for you. I am standing with you in faith today for every breakthrough you desire in God!

Numbers 6:24-26 “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”

Blessings & Peace,
