Your Break Through Is Coming!

It has been said that the last half hour before your break through is the hardest.

Pressure moments and the temptation to run or quit is the strongest. Praise seems to fade to a whimper while grumbling and complaining seems to bubble up. You do everything to bite your tongue. Just before the Lord comes through it seems nothing is going well rather things have gotten worse or just completely flat lined - no signs of any life or positive change - just a chilly silence greets you from heaven.

Then God does what He always does when things are dead. He calls out our name. Out of the darkness of death, Lazarus heard Jesus call his name. Everyone outside the tomb wasn't listening to Jesus when he assured them he would raise Lazarus from the dead. Steeped in unbelief, they already wrote the end of the story. Lazarus is dead. So much so that after three days he stunk, so Martha points out (John 11:39).

Unbelief will always rely on facts to support the impossible. But faith before facts opens wide the possibility that God can do anything with nothing!

And that is the point.

God will roll death over every fleshly ambition, dream, passion etc so that we are brought to a place where we realize unless God breathes life in this relationship or provides a break in this or that circumstance, it's beyond any hope. We are brought to a place where our strength fails so we no longer resist Him. Only agree with Him.

Your break through is coming when you say simply, "Yes, God, I believe." Hold on beloved. The best is yet to come when we press into Him as the woman with the issue of blood. Her strength was failing but all it took was the brush of her fingertips on the hem of His garment for her to be healed.

His promises are your lifeline. Hold on to them until the dawn gives way to joy.
