FAITHFULNESS IS THE KEY TO YOUR BREAKTHROUGH


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]One of the most powerful actions for a Christian to operate in is faithfulness. When you operate in true faithfulness to God – you automatically open the door to the blessing, healing, prosperity, success and deliverance that you seek – Your Breakthrough. In order to fully understand faithfulness we must define it in it's simplest form. Faithfulness can be defined as continuous unrelenting commitment to God. You may remember we defined faith as the Word of God acted on with true diligence- obedience to His Word and walking in the Spirit – obedience to God. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As we live our lives on this earth, we should always operate in love and reach out to others with the love of Christ in our hearts. With this faithfulness in your heart you will renew your mind and begin to live and operate in true obedience to God. David was under the pursuit of Saul – and Saul wanted him dead because of jealousy in his heart. As you know David was chosen by God and David operated with love and reverence for God and when he had the opportunity to kill Saul, He chose to honor God. This is a true demonstration of faithfulness to God – lets read it in the Holy Bible:[/FONT]​

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]descend into battle to perish. The Lord forbid that I shall [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]them away, and no man saw it nor knew it, neither [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]awaked: for they were all asleep; because deep sleep from [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]the Lord was fallen upon them.”. I Samuel 26:10-12[/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]We see the faithfulness of David to the anointing of God that was upon Saul as King and the love of God in David's heart as he operated in total forgiveness of Saul for his jealousy and wanting him dead. He understood that God will fight your battles and you will always get the victory when you operate in faithfulness and obedience to His Word and live according to His ways. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]We read on in this chapter and we see just how much David understood the meaning of faithfulness in this verse of Scripture: [/FONT]​

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed. And, behold, as [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]tribulation. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]went on his way, and Saul returned to his place”. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I Samuel 26: 23-25 [/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As you can see, even King Saul understood that faithfulness released an anointing to bless you and protect and prosper you, and deliver you from the hand of your enemy. As a child of God that lives and operates in faithfulness – you will always get the victory as you live this life in true faithfulness. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As a faithful man or woman– you will live a life of abundance and success as you continue to live the faithful lifestyle. Your faith is in God and not your circumstances or situations that you are facing. You keep your eyes on what God is taking you to and not on what you are going through to get there. Your faith is in what God said and His promise to you as a believer and not what man or the devil tries to put in your head. Your mind is the battle field and the devil and his army of demons and evil spirits are trying to speak these negative thoughts into your mind with thoughts or other people saying them to you that do not believe to convince you that the Word of God will not work for you.
