1 Chronicles 14:11 AMPC
So [Israel] came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote [the Philistines] there. Then David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].
Ever been stuck in a stalemate situation that makes you want to chuck it all in and give up?
Remember the God we serve is Lord of the Breakthrough!
Satan is busy with his delaying tactics in our lives.
He tries to wear us out or weigh us down until we lose sight of our goal.
Daniel 7:25 AMPC
And he shall speak words against the Most High [God] and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change the time [of sacred feasts and holy days] and the law; and the saints shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time [three and one-half years].
That's an end time prophecy, but it reminds us of Satan's strategic attacks now in our lives.
To use a footballing analogy, there are teams that put "10 men behind the ball" in a bunker style, hoping to thwart creative, attacking teams.
Then it becomes a test of tenacity to see if that attacking team can keep on trying until the breakthrough goal is scored.
Usually, once there is a breakthrough, the defence crumbles and there are many more goals scored resulting in a great victory.
Satan may have thwarted us, putting "10 men behind the ball", but he can't hold out against our persistence and perseverance.
Stick to God's plan for our lives and HE will supply the massive breakthrough, if we don't give up.
Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! [36] Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.
Psalm 107:16 AMPC
For He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron apart.
God has massive iron bar cutters in Jesus' Name!
Breakthrough is coming!
