Yesterday’s Yeses, Today’s Breakthrough – EGP Blog post from November 11, 2018

“He said, ‘You’ve lost your FIRST LOVE.’ And what fascinates me … He didn’t say, ‘Memorize these SCRIPTURES until your love returns for me.’ He didn’t say, ‘Go into multiple worship services and WORSHIP until your love is restored.’ He didn’t say, ‘FAST seven days and then your love will be returned to you.’ Instead, He said something I find to be very strange. He said, ‘Do the DEEDS you did at first.’ …

We pay a PRICE to serve God. Nobody ADDS Jesus to their life; Jesus IS our life. We literally give EVERYTHING to serve Him. … You had certain things you did in your EARLY days with the Lord that, after breakthrough STARTED to come, we started NEGLECTING some of the things that actually got us to that PLACE of breakthrough. … It wasn’t my SIGNIFICANCE. It wasn’t my CALL. It wasn’t my GREAT FAITH. It was HIS GRACE. …

It would be FOOLISH to think I can serve Him WHOLEHEARTEDLY without paying a price. There’s something about the ABSOLUTE YES that costs me ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. … We come into places where we’re enjoying the fruit of YESTERDAY’S YES. … That’s an INHERITANCE. … All these yeses to God, somehow He adds HIS GRACE to that, and He brings me into a BREAKTHROUGH that I didn’t even know was POSSIBLE. And the temptation is to COAST in your present breakthrough and live IGNORANT of the fact that that was just step ONE of MANY steps into the things that God LONGS to release into the earth. …

OBEDIENCE increases your CAPACITY. So, to stay on the EDGE of personal development and growth is to increase the SACRIFICE. … Just like a plant you put in a larger pot, it grows until it FILLS that pot. Then you transplant it to ANOTHER pot and it grows until it fills THAT pot. That’s where WE’RE at. He’s EXPANDING our capacity. REVELATION KNOWLEDGE reveals areas where I have personal TRANSFORMATION coming and it reveals my INHERITANCE (what I must enter into through the EXPRESSION of faith).”
