Praying daily and asking for a breakthrough is something
every Christian has done. Many times when we’re in the midst of a crisis is
when we cry out to God asking for that breakthrough. We all want a great life
free of crisis and bad things. We want great families, career, and health. We
expect God to take care of that and we'll never have any issues. But we all know
life does not work like that. The bible in fact tells us that we WILL encounter
problems. So there will be a time when you need a breakthrough. A lot of times when
we’re praying for it – we don’t stop to listen for the answer. Or worse we hear
the answer, but don’t listen to our part of it. Yes- OUR PART. If you’ve prayed
for something and gotten your answer, there is probably something that God has
asked you to do. Are you willing to hear Him AND obey Him? We all WANT the breakthrough;
we just don’t necessarily want to put the work in to make it happen.
I have a friend who prayed for a breakthrough in her
business. God responded, and He revealed the plan, and in it she had a part.
But she didn’t get that part right away. She didn’t realize how crucial her part was
in bringing it to pass. Once she obeyed God her breakthrough happened almost
overnight. I for one can completely relate to this scenario. In my case, I
actually thought I was doing what I was told, but during a sermon it was
brought to my attention that I wasn’t. So I prayed about it again, and I
listened. Once I did, everything started falling into place.
If you’re waiting for a breakthrough today and you’re
wondering why it hasn’t happened. I’m going to challenge you to ask the Holy
Spirit to speak to your heart about what you should be doing. You might already
know, and it may be something you don’t want to do, but remember this. God
knows what’s best for you; He wouldn’t ask you if it wasn’t necessary to reach
your destiny. Take the step and just do it!
“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey
it. ~ Luke 11:28
