It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
The clouds are parting!
The Breakthrough is coming!
At that very moment, the scene before me took on a deeper spiritual significance.
The God of Breakthroughs
Isaiah 43 verses 17, 18, 19
“Forget about what’s happened;
don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.
It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
Forgetting the Past, you must see the New thing He is doing – a Fresh work that Springs forth!
Many have yet to catch a glimpse of their break throughs awaiting beyond the storm, the victory that lies on the other side of the battle.
Just as the Lord parted the waters with His mighty hand, He promises to carve a path for us through the shadowed valleys filled with hindrances like troublesome relationships, financial burdens, illness, and the criticism of the religious. Even in the midst of marital struggles and wayward children, when it feels like a dark cloud is hovering over us, He assures us that He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
In Exodus 13, we see the powerful journey of Israel from Succoth to Etham. Succoth, it means to block, to stop the approach, to shut off. Geographically speaking, Succoth is a rough place, a place where an army of chariots would struggle to pass through. The terrain, oh the terrain, it is indeed very rough.
As they wandered in the land, the wilderness closed in around them, just as the Word says, Pharaoh said “The wilderness has shut them in” (Exodus 14:3). But in the midst of this journey, God will deal with every one of our false security blankets. Then will we lift our eyes to the hills? For that is where your help comes from! Our help comes from the Lord. Psalm 121
When we find ourselves in dangerous places with no easy escape, we must cry out to God, because God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
God turned them around and had them camp at the breakthrough and they didn’t even know it.
The Lord instructed Moses, “Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of
Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea” (Exodus 14:2).
All of Israel faced Baal Zephon means false god of the north, darkness, hidden an island in the midst of the Red Sea. But fear not, for your miracle will be brought forth by the One whom even the seas and storms obey. You may be facing something that threatens to control you, but if God has brought you to the sea, no false god can overpower you with a storm as you walk through. Hallelujah!
Just because it seems it is taking forever to get to your breakthrough, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t coming.
Things look the most hopeless just before a major breakthrough.
Storm clouds can work overtime to drag our focus away and divert us towards the chaos of the past, Instead of lifting our eyes upon the One who brings breakthrough.
Look up Hes guiding you through the challenges towards your break through.
I feel a change in the air. Can you sense it too?
There is a stirring in my spirit, a quiet but powerful purpose of God showing up in a mighty way.
God’s power can suddenly break through and change everything.
The relentless struggles we have faced have robbed us of many souls, and relationships, children, health, destinies, cities, and nations.
The battles we face against God’s promises are signs that we are on the brink of His divine timing.
Stand firm in faith, for victory is right above the clouds.
In Micah 2:12-13 Lord of the Breakthrough
The One who breaks through is referred to as the Breaker. The title of Jesus: The Breaker. In this role, He stands as the leader and guide of His people, forging ahead of His flock. We need a Breaker, He is the One who breaks through for our lives.
“A revival, among other things, is a sudden manifestation of God’s presence. It is not the coming of the sun, but the sun breaking through the clouds. Although the sun may be hidden, it is still there until it breaks through the clouds. A revival is not God coming to us; rather it is God breaking through the obstacles hindering us from experiencing Him.“
A.W. Tozer
Embracing the Breakthrough
The passcode is: Surrender
When you find yourself yearning for the presence of God and it seems like your not getting through.
It’s simply a matter of recognizing that we may have allowed a spiritual fog to cloud our perception of His nearness. The only distinction between clouds blocking the sun and barriers obstructing our awareness of God’s presence is that clouds are external while the obstacles are within us.
The Lord is ever-present, just waiting for you to invite Him in. Ask Him to illuminate the shadows in your soul, to reveal what needs to be brought into the light, repent of and turned away from. Rest assured, the clouds will part and the ☀️ will shine again.
The sun will break through the clouds, and you will experience a renewal right where you are. Know that God has never left your side; maybe you have simply pushed Him into the background of your busyness and distractions of life.
In this world consumed by its false ways its distractions it is easy to lose sight of His presence.
Take a moment to refocus and realign your heart with His, and you will feel His presence rise upon your heart like the ☀️enveloping you once again.
Lift up your heads look up for the day of redemption is drawing near. On that blessed day, God will fully restore us and all of creation. Those who have placed their trust in Jesus will be reunited with God, receiving resurrection bodies and glorified souls.
Oh, what a glorious day that will be!
“And then they will see the son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads because your redemption is drawing near.” – Luke 21:27–28
