Summary
When we pursue breakthrough as people of faith, we must consider the importance of prayer. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us to return to the place where breakthrough begins. Jesus taught us that captivity is never our normal, and a life without divine intervention, answers, or transformation is far from His will. Prayer positions us to recognize God’s solutions—often while they’re still in seed form—and to partner with what He’s releasing on the earth. We were created to co-labor with God, to carry His heart, and to steward the areas He’s entrusted to us. How are we stewarding that? What are we waiting for God to do that the Cross has already done? Is there a more effective way to pray and partner with God? Join us as we return to the original model of prayer and co-laboring with God!
