I like to start each week with something kind of funny and I heard about this minister. He noticed a dead mule on the church grounds. He called the health department and they said they couldn't pick it up without authorization from the mayor. Well the mayor was known to be very rude and very hard to get along with. When the minister called, the mayor didn't disappoint. He started ranting and raving and finally he said, Why are you even bothering me? Isn't it your job to bury the dead? The minister asked God to give him the right response. He said, Yes, mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always like to notify the next of kin first. All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess: my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about living breakthrough-minded. A breakthrough is a sudden burst of God's favor. It's an explosion of his goodness. It's when all of a sudden God releases his power in such a way that you're overwhelmed. Maybe you've been praying about a child for years and suddenly they get back on the right course. That's a breakthrough. Or you were trying to get in a certain college, they said they were full, but all of a sudden they call back and say they have room for you.
Another breakthrough.
How does the funny minister story illustrate the need for bold prayer?
Perhaps in your finances you've struggled for a long time. Then you get a good break, you get promoted, now it's not a struggle anymore. Those are all breakthroughs. It's like a flood of God's power where you look up and think, I'm overwhelmed by God's goodness. I had a lady tell me last week how she was in town at the cancer center. Earlier she'd gotten very bad news concerning her health. It looked like her world was crumbling. But the doctors ran some more tests and they discovered she didn't have what they originally thought she had. І вас самтин мартаба. She was so relieved, so excited. She said, Joel, I feel like I've been given a new lease on life. That's the God we serve. He's called the God of the breakthrough.
And no matter what you're facing, no matter how impossible it looks, know this: the God of the breakthrough wants to visit your house. You may have struggled in your finances for a long time, but if you'll stay in faith, the God of the breakthrough is coming your way. Your health may be going downhill, but don't get discouraged. The God of the breakthrough can breathe healing into your body. Your dreams may look impossible, but right now the God of the breakthrough is working behind the scenes, arranging things in your favor. Here's the key. We have to live breakthrough-minded. We have to get up each day and say, Father, I know you're the God of the breakthrough. And even though I don't see a way, I know you have a way.
So I'm expecting you to visit my house. I'm expecting you to overwhelm me with your goodness. I'm expecting a sudden explosion of your favor. That's what it means to live breakthrough minded. You're expecting God to show up and show out in amazing ways. One time David needed a breakthrough. He faced an impossible situation. He and his men were up against this huge army, the Philistines.
