Oh, my soul awakens with 2 Samuel 5:20 – So David went to Baal Perazim and defeated (the Philistines) there and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water”. Therefore, he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. (I added italics for clarification)
Baal Perazim literally means:
Master of Breakthroughs!
Every person I know needs a breakthrough in some area of their lives, including me. We pray, “Show off Lord in the midst of our enemies, we ask You for our BREAKTHROUGH! Breakthrough the evil, the plots of the enemy! Breakthrough the darkness, allow Your light to shine bright! Destroy the yokes of addictions! Restore health, love, joy, peace, and hope back to Your people!”
Now see it for yourself, see the Lord parting the waters as He did for Moses so that His people could cross to the other side, protecting them from their enemy. See God pulling back the darkness to show you the path in which to walk, walking one step at a time, or running as swift as a gazelle to reach what He has called you to. Conquer the addictions in your life, knowing your help comes from The Father. Be determined to live a holy and just life before the Lord, asking His Holy Spirit to administer His guidance to do so.
God is so willing and able…to do…to be…ALL that we need! Believe YOUR breakthrough is around the corner and begin to praise Him now. Your faith and hope will arise to the occasion of giving you back your joy and peace.
God’s promise to you:
Isaiah 43:1-3a
1But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior
