The Water Has Broken & The Promises Are Being Birthed
- Joni Ames
Dear Friends,
Just a short note, with a word for you today....The Water Has Broken & The Promises Are Being Birthed!
"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 (i.e., 'God of the Breakthrough')." (1 Chron. 14:11)
My Friends, have you noticed that we are in the midst of Breakthrough? Just as water breaks before a baby is born, the water has broken across the land, and promises are being birthed! We are in "due season!"
Quite often what is in the natural speaks of what is in the invisible. Truly, the waters are being stirred, and we are in a time of breakthrough! It matters not what is going on in the world. Our God is greater! And Isaiah 60:1 & 2 promises that, when gross darkness covers the earth, HIS light and glory will rise upon us!
Just as it says in Romans 8:22-23, even Creation itself is crying out for the Sons of God to take their rightful place!
When Breakthrough comes, along with it comes a Breaker anointing and a spirit of Breakthrough, and we are able to break through in areas where there has been difficulty, and where there has been a holding back.
The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force! (Matt. 11:12) - - But the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to pull down the strongholds. (2 Cor. 10:12)
I gave a message in Montgomery AL this past week, and shared about it in the midst of that teaching, and I encourage you to listen to it at: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/49872 - it is the one that says "Montgomery AL Aglow."
It's time to rise above the circumstances and go forth in victory!
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. (Psalm 42:5)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Rom. 8:31)
Breakthrough time is here!
We are in the time period of being in between Rosh Hashanna and the Jewish New Year (Yom Kippur is Sept. 28th), which truly is a time period when God asks of us as He asked of Adam, "Where are you?" - Meaning, Where are you (1) mentally, (2) physically, (3) spiritually, (4) emotionally, and (5) in your purpose, call, and destiny? - And a time when we can repent of not being where we should be in each of those areas, and then see times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord and breakthrough!
"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)
I was in a motel recently and a very loud thunder storm came up. After many rounds of noisy thunder and lightening, I felt the Lord was speaking in the thunder, and He reminded me of the verses in John 12:28 & 29. It was a conversation between the Father and Son:
"(28) Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." (29) Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."
Let us not just hear thunder when He speaks! God promised that He has glorified His name in times past, AND that He is going to glorify it again! - And I believe He will do it through His people - you and me - because He lives inside of us by the power of the Holy Spirit!
Jesus paid the price for our salvation AND for the power of God to be manifested in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit residing within us! And He deserves to get what He paid for! - It's time to rise above the circumstances and walk in the fullness of His Power. - He already paid for it!
Stop second guessing yourself! You are not a stranger to His voice! You don't need to "phone a friend" or "guess" at life! You have a personal relationship with the Living God! And you DO know His voice!
Don't let others' opinions determine your destiny! Listen to the Living God!
It's time to go for those things God has spoken to us about. I sensed the Lord warning that He will soon begin to hold back the release of more prophetic words to those of us who are not walking out the instructions He has already given to us. Faith without works is dead. (James 2:20 & 26)
The Lord would have us to be like James who said, "But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. (James 2:18)
As we go forth, He promises us, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." (Joel 2:25)
Breakthrough is a time of restoration. Allow your heart to be revived and awakened, and for hope and faith to arise in your heart once again!
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Rom. 15:13)
"He who comes to God must believe that He is, AND that He is a REWARDER of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb. 11:6)
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your love, and for the life, death, and resurrection of Your Son. We ask for forgiveness for the areas we each need it, and we accept and thank you for it, and for breakthrough and restoration. We ask that you would cause us to rise above the circumstances, and to stand in courage and faith in You and Your promises. Amen.
Love & Blessings,
Joni
