The Deep Week 3 (Jan. 29, 2018) Houston , TX.

A true breakthrough involves coming to the point of divine hope where you no longer act or react towards your circumstances in the same way. In a breakthrough, God either changes your circumstances, or changes YOU in the midst of them; either way... it's a breakthrough.

Types of breakthroughs: -Relational -Personal -Purposeful -Financial -Spiritual

The entire point of a breakthrough is to usher you into a more intimate trust in God, not to necessarily make your circumstances easier.

Signs you're on the brink of a breakthrough: -Hunger for God's Word or for the things of God -Aware of sin and selfish ambition -Change in job, responsibilities, family or church dynamics, atmosphere of home or workplace -Bursts of energy and Godly expectation

Story of Breakthrough: Hannah in 1 Samuel chapter 1

Process of Breakthrough: -I'm afflicted and crying out to you Lord -I will have a role in this breakthrough I'm requesting -I don't care who's watching -I've been pushed to a point of desperation -I'm no longer sad. I have release as I trust you Lord
