Summary

God wants to do the impossible through you. Not the hard, not the unlikely, He wants to do the impossible through you. The question is, how does that work? What do you need to do to in order to experience that kind of life changing breakthrough? Chip answers those questions in this message.

Five questions about breakthrough:

1. What is a breakthrough?

Three key definitions:

An offensive thrust that penetrates and carries beyond a defensive line in warfare.
An act or instance of breaking through a barrier.
A sudden advance.

2. Is there a biblical pattern for breakthrough?

Great need
Great sin
Great bondage
God's compassion
God's judgment
God delivers

3. How did Jesus teach His disciples to experience and be agents of breakthrough?

Announce the “Good News!” -Mark 1
Defeat evil
Bring healing
Lead by example

4. Is there historical precedent that breakthrough can happen in our day?

The entire book of Acts
List of Church-Age believers

5. How do you experience the first step of breakthrough?

BELIEVE that God is good.
EMBRACE that it’s God’s will to do the impossible in you and through you.

Assignment:

Read over Psalm 23, inserting your name in the blanks, at least once each day this week.
