Daily Bible Reading - Thursday - June 17th

The devotional is a continuation of yesterdays, getting the break through you need.  Today though it says we need to believe for a flood of God’s power, not a trickle, not a stream, not a river but a flood.  You know what a flood of water does, it moves everything in its path.  That’s what a flood of God’s power will do, it will move you right out of defeat and right into Victory.  That’s what God wants to do for us, He’s there waiting on us to make the first move.  Once we do, watch out because He’ll flood us with His goodness and mercy.  Like David put it, His power is like the bursting forth of waters, it will “Break through" anything, bringing God’s power down on our lives.

Daily Devotional

I Chronicles 14:11
"So [Israel] came up to Baal–perazim, and David smote [the Philistines] there. Then David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal–perazim [Lord of breaking through]"

Notice, David likened God's power to the bursting forth of waters. In other words, he described it as a flood. He was saying that when the God of the breakthrough shows up and releases His power, it will be like a flood of His goodness, a flood of His favor, a flood of healing, a flood of new opportunity.

Think about how powerful water is. Three or four feet of water can pick up a huge car that weighs thousands of pounds and move it all around. I've seen on the news whole houses floating down the river in big floods. Nothing can stop the force of tha****er! Anything that's in its way is moved!

You may have difficulties that look extremely large, obstacles that look impassable, dreams that look unobtainable. But know this; when the God of the breakthrough releases a flood of His power, nothing can stop it. You need to get ready not for a trickle, not for a stream, not for a river. Get ready for a flood of God’s favor, a tidal wave of His goodness, a tsunami of His increase! Dare to believe that God is going to overwhelm you with victory in every area of your life today!

Today's Prayer: Heavenly Father, I invite You to overwhelm me with You today. Take over every area of my life; my thoughts, my attitude, my body. Flood me with Your healing, favor, and strength today as I surrender my entire being to You. Amen.
