Breaking The Status Quo Barrier

Breaking The Status Quo Barrier
I Chronicles 14:8-17
We all face barriers. Walls that stand in the way of our making progress and if we’re going to keep moving forward in our lives, we’ve got to learn to break through those barriers and get to the next level of living in our lives.
A wise man has said it this way:
“Wherever people find themselves in life, they usually possess the natural desire to move up. They want greater recognition. They want to make more money. They want to live in a better home. They want to advance and improve.”
The problem is that set backs, failures and roadblocks often discourage us and test our commitment to progress and growth
David  faced a daunting challenge immediately he was confirmed King,
Just like you and me he wanted to keeping moving forward but faced problems in doing so.
READ I CHRONICLES 14:1-17.
A breakthrough is when God generates a wave and sends it in your direction, and you ride that wave onto dry ground and a higher level of living in your life.
Like a breakthrough of water, God wants to send waves into your life. Waves that will smash walls that have been built up in front of you.
A breakthrough creates momentum in your life in a new and fresh direction
God wants to set a new course and give you momentum to help you move in that direction.
Look with me at verse 10:
“And David inquired of God, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?’”
David was crystal clear about 3 things.
1. Who could help him.
2. What the enemy was.
3. What result he wanted to see happen.
There was no question in David’s mind that what he needed was a military breakthrough.
David did not pray about a political breakthrough, nor a financial breakthrough, nor a relational breakthrough, he prayed about military breakthrough.
What’s the principle here?
The principle is that if you and I are going to experience the breakthrough we need in our lives then we need to get real clear about what that is.
Do you need a breakthrough in your life? Do you know what that breakthrough is?? If not its time to be Crystal clear of what u want God to do for you.

“What I’m a part of is bigger than the part I play.”

 Ephesians 3:10-21 New King James Version

10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. 13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Appreciation of the Mystery

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[a] 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.


Paul prays 5 things for believer and for/over the church:

-       that we would be empowered with strength v.16

-       that Christ will make His home in our hearts v.17

-       that we would be rooted (deeply) in His love. v. 17b

-       that we would understand His love v. 18

 Note: Paul prays that we would have the power to understand His love, how wide, how high, how deep, how long and that we would experience His love. v. 19
These are things we should pray over one another and the church when this is done  the results are in verse .20

Do you have a big vision or a Life Time Dream for what God can do in your life? Because whatever you think or ask, He is able to do INFINITELY MORE!!!
What would it look like if God did more than we ever imagined?
We are a part of something so much bigger than ourselves lets go out and make disciples in His Name.

“What I’m a part of is bigger than the part I play.”

No matter what they say behind your back, no matter how much they hate you. No matter how much they laugh at you because you are not educated enough or intelligent enough or even unemployed or going through a difficult time.

YOUR PAST

God doesn't waste anything Friends you are not defined by your past,always remember your past  prepares you for your future. Do not regret your past, as it is why you are in your present. always desire to learn from your past failures and successes to propel you to a better tomorrow. Your future  its never determined by your past but your future is determined on how you deal with your past.

Friendship

The greatest sweetener of human life is friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover. How well do we take care of relationships and friendships that God has given us? #foodforthought
