He Is Lord Of The Breakthroughs

Hebrews 11:6 “But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that
cometh to God must Believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them
That diligently seek him”.


Have you been praying about a situation in your life and found yourself waiting for a breakthrough?
Are you wondering why the answer hasn’t come yet? Do you feel as though victory is passing you by?

Sometimes when we pray long and hard about a situation in our life
without receiving any answers, we just learn to live with it.
We go on about our business, wondering if or when God will send the answer.
But God does hear those prayers,
and He’s working out the answers even though we may not know all the details.
Our situation can change suddenly—quickly without warning!

But one thing is certain: Before God moves suddenly, we will wait.
Waiting for answers is a fact of life—nobody gets out of it.
So the question is not if we’ll wait, but rather how we’ll wait. And I believe how will determine how long.

There are two ways to wait: One is to wait passively, and the other is to wait expectantly.
A passive person hopes something good will happen and is willing to sit around waiting to see if it does.
After a short time, he gives up, saying, “That’s it!
I’ve waited and waited and nothing’s happened.”
The passive person has a lot of wishbone but not much backbone!

The expectant person, on the other hand, is hopeful, believing the answer is just around the corner,
due to arrive any minute. His belief is not a passive thing.
His heart is full of hope, expecting his problem to be solved at any moment.
He wakes up every morning expecting to find his answer
. He may wait and wait, but suddenly what he’s been waiting for happens.


We know the word wait means “to expect” or “to look for.”
But remember, it also means “to serve”—just like a waiter waits on your table at a restaurant.
Our act of waiting isn’t supposed to be spent sitting around passively hoping that something will happen sometime soon.


Sometimes we find ourselves in such horrible messes that it’s hard to imagine waiting one more second.
But we need to keep waiting on God and trusting Him with a sweet and simple faith.
Then, in a way we never could’ve figured out—God moves suddenly!


When people patiently and expectantly wait on God in the midst of horrible circumstances,
suddenly God breaks through.
So don’t give up!
Don’t stop believing!
Stay full of hope and expectation.
God’s power is limitless,
and He’ll break through for you.


May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
