The Breakthrough

Here’s a word I hear a lot around church circles: What is “breakthrough”?

This is just my take on it:

Every time I repent …ie. I return to the Lord and lay down my life…my wants…my needs, upon his broken body, I understand more than I did before: 

Jesus Christ “broke through” on my behalf, through his death and resurrection, so that I could enter His Rest. I receive his breakthrough, when I let go of the pursuit of my own...

“In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 

by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 

He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.”

Colossians 2:11-15

Here is the ultimate breakthrough!
