2019 The Year of ….Possessing Your Breakthrough
Throughout this year remember…
“It’s all about the Spiritual
“On earth as it is in heaven”
We first breakthrough in the spiritual realm
Then we see it in the physical realm
Prov 23:7 For as a man THINKS in his heart, so is he.
You will see breakthrough in 2019 to the degree you live in a
Breakthrough Mindset
if you want to want to see Breakthrough you have to know God’s
- Will
- Plan
- Ways
Knowing God Is essential to “Breakthrough”
In 2019
we looked at
Believing God for Breakthrough
Jesus said
Mark 9:23 “If you can believe”. “Everything is possible for him.
Matt 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.“
Heb 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope (believe) for and certain for what we do not see.
- Belief/hope work from the head (thinking)
- Faith works from the heart (Spirit)
The Key to the receiving Breakthrough
Believing
Mark 9:23 “If you can believe, everything is possible for you”.
Knowing God will give us and increases our
Ability to believe
Mark 9:24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
Phil 2:13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to believe Him.
Paul is saying
I pray that you would come to understand the incredible power that is available for those who (to) believe. It is the same release of His mighty power that raised Christy from the dead
Power to believe
Power <-> Ability
We looked at
Power to Believe

From Believing to Receiving Your Breakthrough
God’s Power & ability to STAND

Posturing For Breakthrough
How to posture yourself until you receive
What is the position we are to take spiritually and mentally in order to ensure we receive what the Lord has promised
I call this “spiritual posturing”
Phil 1:3-6
1 John 5:14-15
MDV
Every time I remember you, I thank God in my prayers. My prayers for you are filled with joy because of your involvement in the gospel from the very beginning . Posture yourself in this mindset and be confident of this very thing, that God has started His work in you and will see that it is completed when Jesus returns.
This is the posture we are to take: if we ask anything according to God’s will, he hears us and if we know that he hears we have what we asked for.
1 Cor 16:13 Be on your guard; posture yourself firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
Eph 6:10-11 Finally, posture yourself in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes
Col 1:23 So continue in your faith, posturing yourself established and firm, not moving from the hope held out in the gospel.
This is a very important time
it’s called the:
“in between time”
“In between” the promise and the Breakthrough
It looks like this
Promise -> Breakthrough
It’s important how we posture ourselves during this time
(It’s where many miss their Breakthrough)
POSTURE
- attitude
- stance
- mindset
- a determination
- a focus
Posturing correctly is very important to defeating the enemy’s attempt to rob from us the Lord’s promise of Breakthrough.
1 Peter 5:8 Be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
1 Peter 5:9 Resist him, stand fast in the faith
Last time we looked at
