7 Steps to your breakthrough.

 

This chapter contains one of the greatest miracles ever recorded. If you want divine intervention, if you want the fire to fall and completely change your circumstances, this chapter is for you. There was a great drought (no water) and famine (no food) in the land. 450 prophets gathered together against Elijah (great opposition). You would think that Elijah would be preparing for a BREAKDOWN. However, he was preparing for a BREAKTHROUGH!

 

Here are 7 steps to your breakthrough:

 

1. Repair the alter. When your alter has a breakdown – your breakdown isn’t that far away.

 

You can allow your mountain to move your faith or you can allow your faith to move your mountain.

 

2. Take 12 stones. 12 represent God’s government. (12 tribes, 12 apostles). The 12 stones represent God’s government or God’s word. Take God’s word. Get ready for your breakthrough.

 

An ounce of obedience is worth a ton of wishful thinking.

 

3. Make a trench. The trench represents separation. Don’t go where they go. Don’t do what they do. Don’t talk like they talk. You’re not going to have a breakdown; you’re going to have a breakthrough.

 

Remember child of God; you are not an abnormal person living in a normal world. You are a normal person living in an abnormal world.

 

4. Put the wood in order. The wood represents Calvary. Put Calvary in order. 1st.

 

It reaches to the highest mountain; it flows to the lowest valley. The blood, that gives me strength from day to day. It will never lose its power!

 

5. There must be a sacrifice.

 

Sacrifice your will, your time, and your life. Be faithful in church attendance. Be faithful in your giving. Be faithful inviting others to church.

 

6. Pour on the water. The water represents the Spirit of God.

 

Come on Clark Kent – get back to the phone booth! Come on saint of God – get filled with the Holy Ghost again!

 

7. Pray and Believe. Don’t have a breakdown – have a breakthrough!
