THE BREAKTHROUGH, Part 6a - THE REAL DEAL
We don’t need sons of the prophets. We need prophets with the anointing of God upon them to get a breakthrough
When Israel was in Egypt under the extreme bondage to the lashing whip of slavery, they certainly needed a breakthrough from God.
In Exodus 3:7, 8 God said: “I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.”
To give them this breakthrough, God raised up Moses with a simple rod in his hand and his brother, Aaron who became his spokesman to Pharaoh. The whole story of Israel’s deliverance and their breakthrough deliverance from the squelching, confining, and debilitating stranglehold of the devil-inspired Pharaoh still applies to God’s people today.
Many of God’s people feel that the devil is still trying to hold them back from a much-needed spiritual, and in many cases, physical breakthrough. Just as Israel needed a great deliverance from the bondage of Egypt so do many Christians today. Many are groaning under the weight of bondage to fear, doubt, and failure.
Many are discontented with the status quo of our modern day gimmicky Christian experience and long for a real breakthrough. They want to experience the “good and large land that flows with milk and honey.”
Elisha, who earnestly sought for the double portion of the Holy Spirit that was upon Elijah, took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him and smote the waters of the Jordan river and cried: “Where is the LORD God of Elijah?” and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither; and Elisha went over. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha” (2 Kings 2:13-15).
Many modern churches fail to demonstrate the power and anointing that was upon the early church. How we all desperately need a breakthrough, just like Elisha needed a double portion, supernatural breakthrough. We are tired of all the religious gimmickry.
To be continued.
