Speaker 1: I greet you in the name of Jesus, and what a blessing to be into another week as we talk about empowered breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Today I want to quote this scripture in the Bible, in the book of John, chapter 14, verse 6, a very familiar scripture.
Speaker 1: And the Bible says that Jesus Christ said I am the way, the truth and the life.
Speaker 1: No man comes to the Father except through me.
Speaker 1: I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.
Speaker 1: No man comes to the Father except through me.
Speaker 1: You know, this scripture tells me about God, our breakthrough.
Speaker 1: God is our breakthrough and if we are going to have any door that we are going to go through that is going to give us breakthrough, god is our breakthrough.
Speaker 1: And because God is our breakthrough, there are three things that happen.
Speaker 1: Number one there is a release of confidence.
Speaker 1: Secondly, there is a resource of God's grace.
Speaker 1: And then there is a realignment of vision.
Speaker 1: Let me say that one more time there is a release of confidence.
Speaker 1: Secondly, a resource of grace.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, a realignment of vision.
Speaker 1: I picked this thought from the book of Philippians, and Philippians is a wonderful book.
Speaker 1: If you get time to study it this week, please go ahead.
Speaker 1: Starting with a release of confidence.
Speaker 1: You know, when you know that God is our breakthrough, there is a confidence that is released in us.
Speaker 1: Philippians 413 says this I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Speaker 1: If you are going to experience breakthroughs this week, you need to have confidence in God.
Speaker 1: The Bible says that those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion that can never be shaken as the mountains around Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: So the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: So when you know that God is your breakthrough, a release of confidence becomes a reality.
Speaker 1: And I want to assure you, philippians 413, you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you.
Speaker 1: That's the confidence that you have.
Speaker 1: But secondly, there's a resource of grace that has been given to you.
Speaker 1: Philippians 419 says this my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory.
Speaker 1: When you know that God is your breakthrough, you also know that he will supply all that you need to face the situations of your life.
Speaker 1: Have confidence, but also know there's a grace that provides all that you need for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, there's a realignment of vision.
Speaker 1: An interesting verse in Philippians 1, verse 6, says he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.
Speaker 1: You see, that's a vision of somebody who knows that God is their breakthrough.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry that what I start will get finished.
Speaker 1: God is assuring you that if you depend on him to be your breakthrough, if you know that he is the way, the truth and the life, then you can be assured that your vision will be a realign, and you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he who begins a good work in you will bring it to completion.
Speaker 1: And so I want you to be reminded of these three very important things.
Speaker 1: Number one breakthrough in God assures you that there's a release of confidence.
Speaker 1: Number two, a resource of grace.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, a realignment of vision.
Speaker 1: You can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Speaker 1: My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory.
Speaker 1: And thirdly, he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.
Speaker 1: May God richly bless you.
