The Calm Before the Storm

Have you ever been on the edge of a breakthrough? Some breakthroughs happen after many consecutive seasons of storms and plight. However, some breakthroughs are the storms themselves. That is right. Going through the battle is the breakthrough. See, God wants to see how we perform during and after our testing. We can almost receive two types of breakthrough: 1. the breakthrough necessary to endure any of the circumstantial devices the devil uses against us, and 2. the breakthrough that comes with how we respond once the circumstance is past us.

For Job, the breakthrough happened during his storm. God already knew the purity in Job's heart and He foresaw how Job was going to receive the challenges that God allowed the devil to put him through. See, Job's faith was deepened during his season of testing. Even more so, how deeper was the faith of those who knew Job? Have you ever thought about that? Think about the lives that were changed as a result of what Job went through. Some times it is the indirect move of God, that extraneous break through that happens in surrounding communities when a man of God proves himself worthy--it is that move that I am after. I want a move of God that shakes my family, my community, my area, and my generation. So, it is this type of break through I pray for, run toward, and beseech the throne room of grace about...

Send a break through God. Rid us of youthful and fleshly desires; mature us in You; migrate us to Your throne room; mentor us in Your goodness; rid us of unhealthy habits; deepen our appreciation for steadfast goodness; catapult us into the fullness of the Gospel until it impacts every aspect of our lives.

 Take us to the next level.
