Breakthrough Not Brokenness

Triumphant Victorious Reminders
Inspired by the Holy Spirit
Written by: Teresa Criswell

Have you ever prayed to God about someone or something and it seemed things only got worse?

This is when I realized this is the beginning of a breakthrough not broken dreams. The very thing meant to break them - to break you, is actually a sign of impending breakthrough.

For instance, have you ever bumped something really hard and the pain was intense, yet the first day there was only redness in the effected area?  Yet a few days later that area turned yellow, black and blue...it looked far worse than the first day of impact.  What looks discouraging and really bad is truly the body miraculously attempting to heal that area.  From the outside it looks really bad, yet from the inside there's healing taking place.

This Triumphant Victorious Reminder is to remind us to not grow weary as we must now allow the outward move us out of our place in speaking life over those that we were meant to ONLY see what God sees and declares.  This reminder is humbling as we may be in their life for that very moment when others "give up" we continue to "give in" to God on their behalf.

Some may need practical ways of "how" to live this out...

If you see someone in your life is spiraling out of control or rebellious...

Speaking over a man:
"You flourish in God like a well nurtured plant; you are strong and valiant - a mighty man of valor and rebellious against sin and your zeal is for God and you are controlled by the Holy Spirit knowing that you are an overcomer - for you are above and not beneath; you are the head and not the tail and the fear of the Lord rests on you as wisdom and understanding are revealed because you know your God! Whenever difficulty comes, JOY arises as you remember WHO has you as you are strengthened in the midst of battle.  I speak to your spirit man and call forth the REAL YOU to arise - you are God's and the ONLY assignment that can prosper on your life is God's, for He has the last word over your life.  You are His and He is yours in Jesus name!"

Speaking over a woman:
"You are as a graceful pillar carved to beautify a palace; you are as a lioness arising in the virtue of God and you are rebellious against sin and your zeal is for God as you are controlled and led by the Holy Spirit as you know your identity in God is as His daughter, revealing royalty in the midst of peasantry.  I speak to your spirit and call forth the REAL YOU to arise - you are God's an the ONLY assignment that can prosper on your life is God's, for He has the last word over your life.  You are above and not beneath; the head and not the tail - the fear of the Lord rests on you as wisdom and understanding are revealed because you know your God! Whenever difficulty does, JOY arises as you remember WHO has you as you are strengthened in the midst of battle.  For you are His and He is yours in Jesus name!"
