THE GUIDELINE FOR BREAKTHROUGHS – PT 1 – Dec 30, 2018

THE GUIDELINE FOR BREAKTHROUGHS – PART ONE

Ewoc – 12.30.2018

How many of you are facing something you don’t have the answers for?

How many are facing something that only God can do.

The Great miracles in the Bible happened when usually 3 Things happened.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NLT)

¹¹ I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.

1. RIGHT PLACE

God gives us many right places in life.

Are you in the right place?

What is the right place?

The top three indicators of being in the right place.

The #3 indicator of being in the right place is:

Provision

Deuteronomy 8:17 (NLT)

¹⁷ He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’

If the provision is not being supplied, we must ask the question, “Am I in the right place?” 

The #2 indicator of being in the right place is:

Productivity

Jesus said we would bear fruit (John 15:5).

The #1 indicator of being in the right place is:

Peacefulness.

Paul’s instruction in

Colossians 3:15.

 “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts”

What do you hear from God about the peace in your Spirit man?

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Peace, will “call” the place either right or wrong

2. RIGHT TIME

We don’t have to be the fastest or the strongest to win. We only need the power of God within us to be our strength. David met the giant with the knowledge that his God was bigger than this giant.

But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman… (Galatians 4:4, NLT)

At just the right time Christ died for ungodly people.

He died for us when we had no power of our own. It is unusual for anyone to die for a godly person. Maybe someone would be willing to die for a good person. But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8, NIRV)

For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.

Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2, NLT)
