Breakthroughs

 by Pastor Johnny Byrd, Legacy Church, Bartlett, TN (November 12, 2023)

There are three things to consider to reach your BREAKTHROUGH...

1. ACCEPT the way God intends to do it and not the way you want it to be done.

2. OBEY even if God doesn't move; He knows the outcome even when you don't.

3. FORGIVENESS brings deliverance, freedom, and finally peace in your spirit.

The "hurt, etc." is not more powerful than the God who can heal you of it.

Jesus mends our broken pieces.

The lion (enemy) goes after the easy target that is isolated so attach (surround) yourself to a body of believers.

Illustration: Unforgiveness is like a rubber band. The Holy Spirit works on you and draws you closer and closer to that point of forgiveness. You're getting stronger and stronger as you stretch, stretch, stretch that rubber band...you're almost to that wall of breakthrough...you can almost reach out and push it open...and that rubber band will snap you back into that dark abyss of unforgiveness.

The Breakthrough comes when you Break the rubber band that the enemy is holding onto you like a yo-yo. How much longer will you let the enemy play with your strings like a marionette?

We never know what we say or do that the Holy Spirit will use for somebody else's breakthrough. Hallelujah!
