SEVEN AREAS OF BREAKTHROUGH
This teaching is possibly my personal favorite. I think this is a very practical teaching that could possibly change your ministry and your life. Of course, you must apply what is being taught in order for it to mean anything in your life. I will be writing about how to apply everything in this book, but again, the vision has to be caught not taught. By this point, you should have a new vision of what is real for your life. Now we can move onto some foundational teachings. The foundation of this teaching was taught to me at Jonathan David’s Permanent School of the Prophets in Muar, Malaysia. I have taken my life experiences and built on top of what has been entrusted to me. I pray this blesses you as well as guides you into another level of His glory, just as it did for me

1. Character Breakthrough
Our character is formed through the principal of affliction. Personality is a reality of the person within your spirit. Some of these characteristics are revealed through our encounters with man and the environment around us. What dictates how we feel from day to day, people and the things around us, or the word of God over our lives? How much of a bondservant are we really? We start out with yes Lord I will do anything for you. Then life happens and it becomes, yes Lord I will do this if you do this. The closer we get to God, the more that thought pattern will change. Eventually we will live a life that always says yes to God, even if He never moves in our lives again. The question is, how much do we really love Him? Can you connect with what I’m saying? If you can I know that you are on this pathway. If you’re sitting there pulling out scripture to prove that He will never leave us or forsake us, maybe you need to check your love walk. We are talking about motives. What is your motivation? Only you can answer that.
How do we respond when times are bad, and how do we respond when times are good? Immaturity is the inability of an individual to maintain an even keel in the midst of highs and lows. Mature people are able to stay the same and remain focused on God. Even in times of weakness, which we all go through, the mature individual is able to bring his attitude back to God very quickly. What comes out of the internal is the root and truth of the tree. (John 15:1-8 and 3 John 2)

When we walk in communion with the Holy Spirit He will effect our inner man and cause His nature to become formed and developed on the inside of our spirits. When this takes place, it will positively affect our behavior patterns and dealings with people and situations. We must have the ability to handle pressure and the changes that come with them, without becoming bitter. When we go through problems and situations, especially with people, we must come out on the other side better, not bitter. We gain the ability to handle offenses and become very forgiving. Our motives and attitudes are pure and wholesome. We develop the love and trust to co-labor with many different types of people. We must become champions of the corporate body of Christ. God is raising leaders not followers, however not everyone is willing to do what it takes to become a leader. Some are not even willing to be leaders in their own homes. The foundation of our ability to lead can be found in the depth of our relationship with God. Leading by love and example are the signs of one who is whole and ready to lead the weak in spirit, the young in Christ if you will. When strong people cannot work with weaker people, their strength is a disadvantage and a sign of their own insecurity and weakness. We must first work on our character before we try to help others with theirs.
