At the dawn of our break through, we find ourselves at a cross current. A cross current is "a stretch of turbulent water in a river or the sea caused by one current flowing into or across another current" (AudioEnglish.Net)
God is about to fulfill His promise to you! But at this very moment, there is another turbulent current stirred by the flesh and devil to hinder the flow of God's work.
Just as the light is about to rise, restoring hope, this rip tide of temptations wants to pull us under and away from experiencing a break through. For some of us, we need a "break out" from already being swept out to a sea of fear and confusion!
In this time, siren like voices of the past begin to stir and speak into our ears. Temptations we thought were finished, buried and completely eradicated from our lives suddenly beckon us to turn back, even threaten to crash us on a shore of broken rocks of despair!
"You are not going to make it!" Then louder the voices call, "You are disgusting, look at you, what a failure! Why don't you let go and give in to what you know is true about yourself." Emotions are provoked. A heat in your stomach warms you to the thought of releasing your grip on God's promise. Maybe it might be easier to stop fighting, holding on to a promise that anchors you through so many storms! Perhaps, it's true God has forgotten me?
Listen, beloved, hold on to this promise in Psalms 46:4, "There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day."
God's living river is a current so strong, it carries you along with gladness. Where? To the city of God, a holy place, where He dwells! Beloved, God is with us! He will not fail to help us at the break of day.
When you feel your strength fails or your heart is tired of fighting, call out to Him. His voice will override all doubts and fears. Even as I write this I sense in the Spirit there are many who are mere inches of a break through...the first rays of the morning sun is about to break through your darkness, sorrow and pain. Joy is coming in the morning!
