Breakthrough Fast 2011 – Day 5 “God Will Deliver”

I have a confession to make. It is somewhat embarrassing but one I feel compelled to share. Sometimes I need to read my own words.

Yesterday in the prayer guide section of the Breakthrough Fast 2011booklet, I wrote, “Pray today that God would provide all the resources necessary to possess the land that The Breakthrough Fellowship needs to bring city transformation.” You see...just like God gave me a vision for The Breakthrough Project, God gave me a vision for a worship experience called The Breakthrough Fellowship. Its mission will be to create a safe place where people can worship authentically, “Seek God. Build Community. Achieve Wholeness”...through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.”

On one hand, I am extremely excited and grateful for the vision. But on the other hand, the closer we (Jennifer, the team and I) get to our first worship experience, (January 23, 2011 at 10A – Location: AMC Parkway Pointe 15 Theater, 3101 Cobb Parkway, Atlanta, GA – near Cumberland Mall) and the harder we plan and work towards that vision, the more obstacles we seem to encounter. Yesterday morning at 6AM, a group of us prayed via conference call. We prayed for each other. We prayed for continued faith. We prayed for wisdom. We prayed for The Breakthrough Project and the vision of The Breakthrough Fellowship. And we prayed specifically for the things, the resources and the people that we needed for God’s ministry.

Ironically, I wrote for today’s Prayer Guide, Pray today for an increase in your personal faith. Ask God to show you that which you believe is impossible, and then specifically ask Him to give you the faith to entrust Him with the responsibility of it. Ask God to give you a refreshing measure of faith to believe with Him all things are possible.”

God is so awesome. I’m happy to report...that God has answered our prayers. We needed a lead vocalist. God delivered. We needed a financial accountant. God delivered. We needed a keyboardist to complete the worship band. God delivered. We needed a venue for our worship service. God delivered. We needed financial resources to make the vision come true. And God is delivering. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating that God is a celestial Santa Claus that answers every request that we make. I am saying... Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6). We still have work to do. We still have challenges in front of us. But if something is God’s will for your life...God will deliver!
