7 Principles for
Breakthrough From Called To Breakthrough by Rabbi Kirt A . Schneider
Many years ago , when I was in Colorado with my wife , Cynthia , the Holy Spirit spoke to me in an audible voice . As I was waking up one morning , He clearly said , “ Your only gift is breakthrough .”
At first , this statement made me wonder whether the Lord was saying that I ’ m not a good teacher or preacher . It actually made me feel bad about myself . But as I thought and prayed about it , I sensed that the Lord wasn ’ t discounting my preaching ability , but instead , was communicating to me that I had a rare and unique anointing to “ breakthrough .”
Being able to break through into a new place is essential in many areas of life . Many of us need breakthrough in our physical bodies , our finances , our careers , or our relationships . But my focus is spiritual breakthrough .
By spiritual breakthrough , what I am referring to is this ; those of us who are born again have received God ’ s Spirit . It ’ s not a philosophy . It ’ s not simply a way of thinking . We have literally inherited the very substance of God . We are born of His Spirit . The Ruach HaKodesh , or Holy Spirit , lives inside the believer as a real entity . If we had supernatural vision , we ’ d be able to see Him just as we can see with our natural eyes . As the Spirit of God strengthens us in our inner man , we begin to expand in the Spirit and take territory in the Spirit , which ultimately leads us into freedom and breakthrough .
Whether you ’ re 8 or 80 , you can continually experience spiritual breakthrough in your life . The question is , how ?
As I look back over my life and seek to understand how breakthroughs have occurred , certain principles stand out . I share them with you in the hope that you may be able to apply them to your own life .
