Breakthrough - This Kind...
Breakthrough begins with your SURRENDER, not your STRIVING.
Romans 7:15, 19, 24 (NLT)
I donât really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I donât do it⌠19 I donât want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! â¨â¨
Breakthrough doesnât come through BEHAVIOR modification, but rather SOUL transformation.
Romans 7:24-25 (NLT)
Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 Mindsets for Experiencing Breakthrough:
1. If itâs going to BE, then itâs up to ME.
Matthew 26:40-41 (NIV)
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. âCouldnât you men keep watch with me for one hour?â he asked Peter. 41 âWatch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.â
2. If God WANTS it to happen, then Heâll MAKE it happen.
3. Godâs Spirit IN and THROUGH me. â¨
Romans 8:10-13 (NIV)
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligationâbut it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live
Your WHY has to be bigger than the WHAT & HOW.
Your spiritual WHY is Godâs PURPOSE for you.
Your spiritual HOW is Godâs POWER through you.â¨â¨
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NIV)
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I CANâT. He CAN. He can THROUGH me.
What Surrender Looks Like:
1. TRUST.
Itâs not about TRYING harder, itâs about TRUSTING more.
Psalm 37:3-5 (NLT)â¨
Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heartâs desires. 5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you
2. OBEDIENCE.
John 15:4-5 (NIV)â¨
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 âI am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing
Galatians 5:16, 22-23 (NIV)
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)
[God] said, âMy grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.â So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
Romans 7:15, 19, 24 (NLT)
