As I have been prepping for an upcoming sermon, God has been burning something into my heart. The deal is...we are in a Breakthrough Series at CRCC. Wow! We have seen some breakthrough in the lives of people....from God opening wombs to providing jobs, healing sickness and moving people into the deeper waters of intimacy with Jesus.
Breakthrough is the accumulation of smaller victories. I realize that at times I am asking God for massive breakthrough in an area of my life, yet I do not know what it feels like to experience a small victory in the same area...so they do not register. It's sort of like the Pirate's Bucket at Six Flags.
Children wait anxiously under the enormous bucket while each drop of water contributes to the tilt of the bucket....until there is a down pour.
Collecting smaller victories is like filling up a large bucket of breakthrough that eventually gets to it's tipping point and manifests in your life.
i have been praying for a break through in my own life. The desire of my heart is too be a mother and a wife. The blessing has already been spoken over me from several different people. I have also been praying that one day I will be able to keep my head above the water with my bills. It gets paid when you have to pay rent twice a week by anyway. I look at it this way. God has provided me with a home, a car, a job that I love what more could anybody ask for. When we think of break through we all get a different idea of what it may be. But I believe that God will and can do the impossible. What man says can't be done, God says I can! Life is not hard, the circumstance we go through that just I know from personal expereince that have brought me that much closer to the glory of God! Praise God for his faithfulness!

thats good Rich. I have been sitting here complaining about the HUGE areas of need in my life, and all around me are victories in one form or another.
