Breakthrough!

1 Chronicles 14:1-17

As the waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.  So that place was called Baal Perazim.  (1 Chron 14:11)

 

How our enemy operates:

“Let’s not be outsmarted by our enemy, for we are familiar with his evil schemes” (2 Cor 2:11)

 

1.  When he attacks:

• When I am beginning to see the favor of God falling on us
• When I am beginning to bear fruit
• When I am beginning to make God famous
• When I am beginning to be successful for the sake of His people
• When God’s people are beginning to flow in unity
• When I am beginning to find my way back to His glory

 

2.  Where he attacks:

• At the stronghold of my fear
• At the stronghold of my failures
• At the stronghold of my prolonged frustration

 

3.  How he attacks:

• He attacks back-to-back
• He attacks when we are at the beginning of something big
• He attacks on the heels of our last victory

 

How God gives breakthrough:

• He gives supernatural certainty
• He gives supernatural strategies
• He gives supernatural strength
• He gives supernatural support

 

What are the outcomes of the breakthrough battles in my life?

• I learn to seek God’s guidance and blessing in every situation
• My broken places become breakthrough places

So that place was called Baal Perazim [God breaks through].  1 Chron. 14:11

• God makes me bigger so that I can make Him bigger
