Today I want to look at:
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’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
Let’s look at
How-to posture for Breakthrough to defeat the enemy In the in-between times
Important
- STAND
- OPERATING
- PROCEDURE
Posturing to Defeat the enemy in the in-between times
- Don’t allow negative thoughts to control you
“This is never going to happen”
“God forgot”
God only works on a “positive”
Negative thoughts lead to:
negative words, which lead to negative actions
Don’t allow yourself to become discouraged
Discouragement robs us of
physical, emotional and spiritual strength
Brings on depression
Steals faith
- Don’t allow yourself to become frustrated with God’s timing
Frustration pours over into every area of life.
Places stress on relationships
Takes away joy
Makes each day harder
- Don’t miss the daily lessons each day
The enemy wants us caught up in existence
The Lord has set divine opportunities to walk right into the increase
- Don’t become isolated from other people
The enemy wants us to pull away from people.
We are to encourage one another
Removal from fellowship/church
There is power in agreement
- Don’t disconnect from God
Enemy’s ultimate objective is to be angry at God
His presence is a place of protection
With the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty
- Don’t Give up your Ground
Give in
Settle for less
Stand
Believe
Declare
