Time For A Breakthrough
Breakthrough:
1. Warfare – An offensive assault that penetrates an carries beyond a defensive line.
2. AN ACT OR INSTANCE OF MOVING THROUGH OR BEYOND AN OBSTACLE.
Merriam – Webster
JOSHUA 6:1 (NLT) - Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. (So relevant for us)... JERICHO WAS SHUT DOWN! - No one in... No one out! WHY? Fear!
1. CHOOSE A TARGET FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
OVERWHELMED
DEUTERONOMY 7:22 - “The Lord your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. You will not clear them away all at once, otherwise the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you.”
AVOID THE WALLS
2. LET GO
JOSHUA 6:2 “But the Lord said to Joshua, “See I have given you Jericho, it’s king, and all of its strong warriors.”
JOSHUA 5:13-15 - “When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?” [are you with us or against us] 14 “Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?” 15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was told.
PROVERBS 3:5-6 - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
GALATIANS 6:9 - “And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up.
