Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s welcome 2020 in with a spiritual breakthrough! Before I begin, I want to thank you for believing in me and supporting my blogging endeavors. I don’t know about you, but I am putting 2019 behind me and planning to have a much more productive and spiritual year ahead. How about you?
Sometimes I just sit and think about everything that life throws at us from day to day…from hour to hour…from minute to minute! For some of us, this experience can be very difficult to manage throughout this journey called life. We depend on support from family and friends to help us through these challenging times. For me, I pick up a pen and my notebook, then just start writing.

DEFINE SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. – Maya Angelou
Spiritual breakthrough can be defined as a process of removing spiritual obstacles to your spiritual walk with God. When someone says, “I need a breakthrough”, they are usually experiencing a time when they feel like heaven is closed and God is not moving.

KEYS TO SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH
Stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourself, the storm will pass. – Unknown Author
Whichever way you choose to release this negative energy is good, the most important thing, is to release it. However, some people are not that fortunate. They have to face these hard times alone. As we move throughout life, it is important to know if we’re on the right course to reach our spiritual breakthrough. Whether you believe in a God or a Higher Power, we all want to make sense of where we are being led and by whom.
Here’s the keys to spiritual breakthrough:
• Call on the Name of Jesus – It is important to note that we cannot experience our spiritual breakthrough until we first receive and believe in Jesus Christ. We do this by calling on His Name to save us. Through His blood we are reconciled to God. (Romans 10:13)
• Prayer and Fasting – Often the spiritual breakthroughs we need are brought about through prayer, not by asking favors of people. Tune out the background noise of life and trust in the power of prayer. Then, start storming the gates of heaven through prayer and fasting. (Ephesians 6:12)
• Faith – Faith is one of the most essential ingredients of healthy daily Christianity. Remember, it is not enough to just pray about something. We need to pray with faith and confidence in our gracious and Heavenly Father who rewards us when we diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
• Alignment with God’s Will – We need God to give us new and better desires that are pleasing to Him. Focus on what really matters. Learn how to listen to God by spending quality time in God’s Word. (I John 5:14)
• Patience – Often we do not receive what we are praying for right away. We must pray with persistence and patience while trusting God. (Hebrews 6:12)
• Forgiveness – Forgiveness is not an emotion in life, it is a choice. Sometimes a choice you need to make on a daily basis, to forgive as Christ commanded you. God will strengthen you to be able to forgive, when you don’t feel you can. (Matthew 6:14-15)
• Repent – Surrendering your whole life to Christ in repentance, and giving Him access to be Lord over all of your life will assuredly bring about a powerful personal breakthrough. (Hebrews 12:1)

The spiritual breakthrough process allows you to share love, peace, joy, and gratitude with others each and every day. Your spiritual foundation will always be there tucked deep inside just waiting for the right time to assist you, but we have to learn how to get out of the way. No matter how difficult it may be, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and enjoy the spiritual breakthrough experience.

Maybe you’ve been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved. -Unknown Author
Journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey and everyone takes their own path. Ready, set, write!
