We all want a breakthrough. We pray for it, fast for it, and hope for it. But there is a truth we often overlook: a breakthrough requires more than fasting and prayers. A breakthrough often requires the breaking of our current beliefs or behaviors. Every result you have so far reflects your best thinking as influenced by what you believe to be true. You are already operating to the best of your understanding. If you’re not happy and fulfilled with what you have, it means you have to change. You can not demand a breakthrough on your own terms.
We learn from the Bible that God does not pour fresh wine into old, cracked bottles (Matthew 9:17 MSG). The bottles have to be changed first, before the new wine can be poured in. As you fast and pray about the breakthrough you need, also think about what needs to change about you, and how you’re going to change. You do not go from making a hundred thousand a month to making ten million a month by thinking, planning, and working the same way. Anyone that desires such a breakthrough must be ready to grow and mature into a new person.
Think about it: It is insane to repeat the same patterns, the same choices, the same habits, and yet expect a different result. No matter how much you pray. Prayer opens the door, but you still have to walk through it. God gives revelation, but you still must respond to it. For a breakthrough to manifest, something must also shift in your thinking, your decisions, and your actions. If God gives you a multibillion contract today, would you have the thinking, systems, and logistics to deliver? The breakthrough manifestation we want requires the divine to meet the practical.
