"We need years of counseling and behavior change before financial breakthrough comes"
How it sounds in your head: The marriage counselor said it takes 18 months to rebuild financial trust. Our church recommended Financial Peace University - nine weeks minimum. This is a long road. Breakthrough is the END of the process, not the beginning.
"And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.'"
-- Luke 19:9Religion teaching process over power, making breakthrough the reward for completed programs
Every expert prescribes timelines - therapy, courses, steps. Instant breakthrough sounds too easy, even irresponsible.
Five failed marriages, currently living with a man not her husband, social outcast drawing water alone. One conversation with Jesus - IMMEDIATE transformation. She became an evangelist THAT SAME DAY and the whole city believed. No therapy timeline.
I REFUSE the lie that breakthrough comes after years of process. IT IS WRITTEN that TODAY salvation comes - not after counseling completion. I am a son of Abraham; the BARAK doesn't follow timelines. IT IS WRITTEN that the woman at the well went from five failed marriages to city-wide evangelist in ONE CONVERSATION. My Father specializes in TODAY breakthrough, not distant future rewards. The paralyzed man picked up his mat IMMEDIATELY.
Your Father isn't asking you to graduate from programs before He moves - He's ready to say 'TODAY' over your house like He did Zacchaeus. The woman at the well's transformation didn't wait for healing timelines.
