1 Chronicles 14:11 (NKJV) So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
Baal Perazim means ‘Master of Breakthroughs’. And I believe God is reminding us all today He is the same yesterday, today and forever, so He is still the Master of Breakthroughs. Hallelujah!
Whatever situation we are dealing with, and you may have been battling the same enemy for what seems like forever, God wants us to believe He is giving us the breakthrough we’re waiting for. But notice David said God gave him the breakthrough by his hand. In other words, David had to obey God’s instructions to the letter and when he did, then God gave him the victory which so overwhelmed the enemy he describes it like a flood of water, How encouraging that is.
God has given us all various instructions throughout the New Covenant. He tells us to walk daily by faith not by what we feel or just when we feel like it. He tells us to resist the enemy in order to see him flee from us, not sit there passively letting the enemy put whatever he likes on us. NO! God tells us to put our armour on (Ephesians 6:10-18), believe Jesus took our sins, sicknesses and diseases on Himself at the Cross (Isaiah 53:4-5), believe and declare His promises, and stand firm.
He keeps reminding us to use the Name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus against the enemy. He says to keep the word of God in our hearts and coming out our mouths and we will have success. The good news is we don’t have to struggle to do it in our own strength but we do it with the help and power of the Holy Spirit as we lean on Him.
So David didn’t just sit around. He went to fight with his armour on, pulled his sword out and when God said ‘move forward’ he did, and God gave him a mighty breakthrough.
Do you need a breakthrough today in your circumstances or your thinking? Then let’s do our part and obey God’s instructions, remembering we’re coming from a place of victory not trying to get one. Jesus has given us the victory already and He is still the Master of Breakthroughs!
Let’s believe for our breakthrough and receive it by faith today in the name of Jesus. Amen.
