We have often heard a term called “Breakthrough” and people
saying I want a breakthrough in my life.
The dictionary says that a breakthrough is a major achievement or
success that permits further progress; or an act of overcoming or penetrating
an obstacle or restriction; or a military offensive that penetrates an enemy's
lines of defense or a productive insight or an important discovery so on and so
forth.
In common terms, people indicate what they mean by
breakthrough is they need something sudden or dramatic to happen for that major
change in their situation. A sudden positive dramatic change in one’s life and
condition can be called a breakthrough.
As believers we need breakthroughs to progress further into the purposes
of God for the Glory of God and this can happen only by divine intervention.
How many of you are wanting a sudden change in your personal lives, finances,
health, family lives, marriages, or education? You can think of any of your
condition where you eagerly desiring a divine intervention, for a sudden
positive change, that will catapult you to the greater purposes of God for your
lives.
Since last Sunday, the Lord introduced a new term called the
Breaker Anointing that is needed for a supernatural breakthrough, for a break
in and break out. Are you understanding
it? God can do a miracle just like that and He does not even need to teach a
process, but what God is doing is, He is taking us into a narrow path and
making us to understand the process for that move of God in our lives for a
supernatural breakthrough.
You may have to go through fasting and prayer to receive the
divine intervention and success. The intention of this post is to take this as a guideline to
seek the Lord in fasting and prayer and receive your miracles and breakthroughs
for the Glory of the Living God.
HAVE THE
REVELATION OF THE BREAKER:
First God was teaching me to have the revelation of the ONE
who can cause a breakthrough. He was
teaching me about the Perez, one of the twins born to Judah and Tamar, who
became the first born suddenly, unexpectedly to qualify for the blessings of a
first born. The name "Perez" means "breach" (from paratz,
meaning "to break through").
Perez
is derived from the Hebrew word – parats which means
- to break or burst out
(from womb or enclosure)
- to break through or
down, make a breach in
- to break into
- to break open
- to break up, break in
pieces
- to break out
(violently) upon
- to break over
(limits), increase
- to use violence
- to burst open
- to spread, distribute
- to be broken down
- to break away.
Genesis 38
27 Now
it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a
scarlet thread and bound it on
his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and
she said, “How did you break through? This
breach be upon you!” Therefore
his name was called Perez. 30 Afterward
his brother came out who had the scarlet thread
on his hand. And his name was called Zerah.
The sons of Perez were valiant men as recorded in the book
of Nehemiah 11:6. Boaz and Ruth were
blessed by the people around to be blessed as the family of Perez (Ruth 4:12-22).
Bible also indicates that Jesus Christ later came in the
family of King David who was born to Jesse, the son of Boaz. God was pointing to me the aspect of Jesus
Christ being the Breaker. Bible says in
Micah 2:13
13 The one who
breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
Their king will pass before them,
With the Lord at
their head.”
Jesus Christ, the
King of Glory, will go before us breaking the obstacles and barriers, leading
us through into victory.
BREAKING THROUGH THE OBSTACLES TO
RELEASE THE REVELATORY TRUTH:
The
Lord wants to deal with us internally to break through our outward
circumstances. He wants to break in
within us to cause break out in the external.
In order to get a word of revelation for your situation for instance for
your finances, ministry, or marriage or the child your praying to have, break
every obstacles like sin, satan, enemies of God, or obstacles that the Holy
Spirit is pointing out. Sit in the
presence of God to show you what are the obstacles and ask Jesus, the Breaker,
to break all the obstacles that are obstructing the revelatory TRUTH to be
revealed to you. Ask the Lord to soften
your heart to receive the revelation. Your
natural thinking or mind is an obstacle to the revelatory truth. Your experience is an obstacle that can hinder
the revelatory truth. We have to break
out of our small-mindedness and enter into the mind of God. The word of
revelation is the key with which you can break through in your prayers and it
will happen in the natural.
For example let me
show an incidence from the life of David:
I Chronicles 14
8 Now
when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the
Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them. 9 Then the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim. 10 And David inquired of
God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into
my hand?”
The Lord said to him, “Go up, for I will deliver
them into your hand.”
11 So
they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David
said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of
water.” Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.[e] 12 And
when they left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned
with fire.
13 Then
the Philistines once again made a raid on the valley. 14 Therefore David inquired
again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle
around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 15 And it shall be, when you
hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go
out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the
Philistines.” 16 So David did
as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from
Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 Then the fame of David
went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
When it was revealed that the David was anointed to be the
King of Israel the Philistines came against David to kill him, to kill the
future king of Israel. So, David had to go up against the Philistines
after enquiring the Lord and asking His permission and instruction for that
battle. The Lord says that He will give
David the victory and that the Philistines will be defeated. David calls that place as Baal Perazim
saying “God
has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.” Then, again the Philistines are coming up
against David and his army. Again, David
inquires the Lord as what to do in this battle.
The Lord is giving specific revelation as to the strategy that David has
to adopt. The Lord is asking David not
to go straight, but circle around the Philistines and come upon them in front
of the mulberry trees. David will hear
the marching sound in the tops of the mulberry trees, then David will have to
go out to battle against the Philistines knowing that the Lord has gone ahead
of him against the Philistines. The
Lord is teaching David a strategy, to circle around the camp, to come in front
of them in front of the mulberry trees.
The marching sound at the tops of the mulberry trees denotes that the
heavenly armies of the Lord is marching and going in front of the army of
David. David has to just follow the
heavenly army and inherit the victory. What is required of David is the
circumcised, spiritual ears that are attentive and sensitive to the move of
God. His ears are to be so cleansed and
purified and not contaminated to hear the marching sound of the armies of God.
If we do not have the required holiness in our lives we may not decipher the move
of God and we can never be effective in the Hand of God as the Lord wants us to
be. Remove every obstacle like distractions, experience, uncleanness, sin,
spiritual compromise, lack of integrity, every form of pride, impatience, lack
of wisdom, disobedience, past success, etc., for the revelatory truth to be released
for that breakthrough.
UPON RECEIVING THE REVELATION OPERATE IN THE ANOINTING OF THE
BREAKER:
Now, you have received the key or
the revelatory truth for that breakthrough you want. What you need is the anointing to decree and
declare that breakthrough in your life with the key, the revelatory truth, you
have received. The anointing is
precious, priceless, and it requires everything. God wants to break you free to put that
anointing in you. We have seen that one
of the characters of Jesus Christ is to break through. He is the Breaker. When you and I are anointed by the Spirit of
the one who breaks through, we can operate with the anointing and authority of
the Breaker.
Just want to share what the Lord
has been teaching me in regards to the word perez and operating in the Breaker
Anointing from the following passage:
II Samuel 6th chapter we see the
following incidence.
6 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the
house of Abinadab, which was on
the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.[b] 4 And
they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went
before the ark. 5 Then David and
all the house of Israel
played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments
of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on
sistrums, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to
Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his
hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the
ark of God. 8 And David
became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez
Uzzah to this day.
9 David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10 So
David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David;
but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
12 Now it was told King
David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of
God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom
to the City of David
with gladness. 13 And so it was,
when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David danced before the Lord with all his might;
and David was wearing a linen
ephod. 15 So David and
all the house of Israel
brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a
window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had
erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before
the Lord. 18 And when David
had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the
people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Then
he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both
the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So
all the people departed, everyone to his house.
20 Then David returned to
bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David,
and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself
today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows
shamelessly uncovers himself!”
21 So David said to Michal,
“It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me
ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
Therefore I will play music
before the Lord. 22 And I will be
even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for
the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”
23 Therefore Michal the
daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
WHILE OPERATING IN
THE ANOINTING KNOW THAT THE MOVE OF GOD CANNOT BE STEADIED BY HUMAN HANDS:
The passage says that the Ark of the Covenant was set in a
new cart and is brought towards the City of David in a procession. Probably, the road was not even and the oxen
stumbled, there was a man named Uzzah
put forth his hand and took hold of the Ark of the Covenant. He could have done that in the right spirit
fearing that the Ark of the Covenant may fall off the cart, but the Lord’s
anger rose upon Uzzah and he died there. That place was called Perez-Uzzah, the
outbreak of the Lord.
What the Lord is teaching us here is that “Ark of the
Covenant” is the presence or the Move of God and we cannot manipulate/handle the
Move of God by our theological, philosophical, or logical reasoning or by our
experience. We should not box it up with
the organizational or institutional ideas.
If attempted, it will result in spiritual death or bareness.
WHILE YOU ARE
OPERATING IN THE ANOINTING, PEOPLE MAY DESPISE YOU:
David then feared and was not willing to take the Ark of the
Covenant into the City of David and he wanted
the Ark to be
at Obed-Edom’s House. Then David heard
that the Lord blessed the household of Obed-Edom because of the Ark of the Covenant
and he gained courage to take the Ark of the Covenant to the City of David. Now with fear and trembling, offering
sacrifices to the Lord, with music, dance, and worship (Ephod is a garment of
worship) he was bringing the Ark of the Covenant to the City of David. David’s wife Michal despises David because
he was dancing on the streets and he was not acting in a dignified manner as a
King should be. People may talk ill of the anointing or the move of God. Religious people will despise the move of
God.
WHILE OPERATING IN
THE ANOINTING DO NOT FORGET THAT INTEGRITY MATTERS MOST FOR THE PRESENCE OF
GOD:
David replied his wife, “I’m dancing before my God who chose
me, rather than your father and the people of your father’s house, to be the
ruler of Israel.
I will act even more undignified for the sake of the Lord.” David’s integrity
is very much evident. Even if people
despise you, do not lose your integrity for the Lord. YOUR ANOINTING IS HOLY, PRECIOUS, PRICELESS,
AND IT REQUIRES EVERYTHING OF YOU.
GIVE DUE REVERENCE TO THE MOVE OF GOD AND THOSE WHO ARE ANOINTED:
The anointing is very dangerous also. Michal was childless because she despised David,
the anointed one, and the anointing that was upon David. The Lord also gives us a caution here saying “Don’t
mess with the anointing.”
OPERATING IN THE
BREAKER ANOINTING TO BREAK IN AND BREAK OUT:
God is wanting not only to give us a breakthrough but also
to be used as a vessel in His hand to bring in breakthroughs in the lives of
others through the anointing that He wants to lay on us. He wants to bring about breakthroughs in our
spiritual lives, physical lives, family lives, finances, and marriages. Also, God wants to use us to break free the
lives of others who are in various bondages including sexual immorality,
homosexuality, pornography, gender confusion, financial bondage, generational
curses, witchcraft, and so on and so forth.
I am sure the Lord will deal with you through this message
to seek the Lord with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength, to break
every obstacle that is hindering you to receive the revelatory truth, to
receive that anointing to declare and decree that revelation over your life,
and to receive the breakthrough for your own life to become an anointed servant
to declare and decree the breakthroughs in the lives of others.
May the Lord Bless You and use you for His Glory!!
