Your Breakthrough Cannot Be Stopped

When the breakthrough seems far away, it is easy to break down and wallow in self-pity and other convenient things.

I vividly remember, many years back when my father took me and my brother to a stone quarry in Mangalore which was quite close to our house. While we were there, I saw that the process of breaking open a boulder by hand can take a very long time. Imagine trying to split a rock in half using a hammer.

The boulder is hit again and again and again but nothing happens. You don’t see any progress with our natural eyes, but the person keeps hitting it with the hammer and then finally it breaks.

Even though it looks like nothing is happening on the outside, each blow by the hammer is accomplishing something. The rock is getting weaker on the inside. This tells us that if we are to see breakthroughs we need to be persistent in doing what we know will lead us to the breakthrough. “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial..” (James 1:12)

Another truth is that breakthroughs seldom come without a battle. God is first revealed in the Bible as the Lord of Breakthroughs in a military context. The Bible describes God as “the Lord of Breakthroughs” or “the Lord who bursts through” (1 Chronicles 14:10-11 NLT).

It was the time when the Philistines waged their attack in the Valley of Rephaim, which means “the Valley of Giants” or “the Valley of Trouble.” (1 Chronicles 14:14-17 NLT).

David sought the LORD earnestly, received direction, and carried out those instructions. As you seek the Lord of Breakthroughs and obey His instructions, your “Valley of Trouble” can become the very place where you have a fresh encounter with the One “who always leads us in triumph” (2 Corinthians 2:14). He will not only give you new strategies, but He will also give you renewed strength to carry out those strategies (Isaiah 40:31).

I am praying that the LORD breaks through to give you the miracle you so much desire. You will testify soon.
