Receive your Breakthrough “Now”
“The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!” Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water? Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” (Luke 13:14-17 WEB)
Many of us are already experts at meditating which is simply letting something run through your mind again and again.
When you spend time obsessing over something you’re fearful or worried about, it’s funny how that small thing quickly seems to grow in magnitude.
One moment of worrying about a new bill that came in can lead to successive worries about other unpaid bills, which leads to thoughts about your family being thrown out on the streets when you can’t pay all the bills.
The mental downward spiral is like a bottomless pit—it keeps getting worse without any end in sight.
The problem is that your worrying doesn’t do any good. Many times, that worry is unfounded and irrational—things won’t really become so bad.
Instead of constantly living in worry about the future, why don’t you treasure what you already have, which is the “now”.
From studying the Bible, I have learnt that faith deals with the “now” because God has already approved you to receive every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Because you’re in Christ, every one of God’s blessings and promises is yes and amen for you.
This means that God always wants you to receive your breakthrough now, at this present moment, if you can have faith for it.
God is not limiting you—you are holding yourself back.
A ‘maybe yes, maybe no’ type of belief is not faith.
Many times when we say that “What’s ours will be ours eventually,” we’re still in unbelief and being passive about our faith.
We need to be certain in the belief that God is urgent about us having our breakthrough by faith, now.
Meditate on God’s word and let it fill you with a sense of how urgently God wants you to receive your breakthrough now.
In the passage above, we see Jesus trying to convince the ruler of the synagogue and the other religious folks there, explaining why the woman needed to be healed now.
Many of us have the false religious belief that we need to convince God why He should bless us, but actually He is trying to convince you why you should receive all His blessings right now! If only you could believe—you can have it all!
Like the infirm woman, perhaps you have been waiting so long for things to change, and maybe you’ve already given up hope a few times, but the whole point is not to wait for some mysterious, indefinite time in the future.
God wants to bring you from unbelief into faith, and faith receives now.
Believe that God wants you to receive your breakthrough right now, confess that you receive what you need right now, and you’ll have it.
At the cross, Jesus already paid for you to have it, so stop trying to pay the price for it again!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on every one of Jesus’ 37 recorded miracles in the four gospels.
Each chapter is designed to ignite your faith and increase expectancy in your heart to receive miracles now.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles in the four gospels, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see miracles in every area of your life!
You will also be able to walk in the power of God when you expect to see the supernatural gifts in operation.
Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore
