Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer

January 14, 2009 (Day Eleven)

Today is the day that you have overcome! Overcome is defined as: to get the better of in a struggle or conflict. 1 John 5:5 defines it this way, “Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God…” You are now more than midway through our Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer commitment. You are prevailing in the battle for your mind, body, and spirit! Lift up your head, you are an overcomer!

When Moses sent the twelve spies to see if they could prevail in the promised land, Numbers 13:30 gives this report, “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” When everyone else saw themselves as grasshoppers, Joshua and Caleb said, “We are well able to overcome it.” You are well able to overcome the barriers that are present in your life. Breakthrough starts with a decision to focus on God’s promise instead of the seemingly insurmountable odds of logic. Logic will lie to you when confronted with the supernatural.

Everything that Satan throws at you is an accusation of the untrue. What he tells you is always a lie. John 8:44 makes it as plan as possible, “(The Devil) …does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Don’t believe Satan’s lies, you are more than a conqueror through Christ!

Revelation 12:11 gives us a three part formula for defeating Satan, “ And they overcame him by (1) the blood of the Lamb and by (2) the word of their testimony, and they (3) did not love their lives to the death. Jesus gave His life’s blood to create an overcoming breakthrough to the barrier of Satan’s deception. God also gave you a voice to raise and declare your breakthrough by faith. And, you just can’t defeat a person who has nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Ephesians 2:4-7 is your testimony today, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…”

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,
