The Spirit of Breakthough.

\\ Jerehmaih 18:19

Potterys wheel.

In Gen. ch. 2 :5 *5 *When no /z/bush of the field/2/ was yet in the land/3/ and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man /a/to work the ground, *6 *and a mist/4/ was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— *7 *then the Lord God formed the man of /b/dust from the ground and /c/breathed into his /d/nostrils the breath of life, and /e/the man became a living creature.[1]

*teasures in Jars of Clay*

* 2 Cor.

4: 7 *But we have this treasure in /p/jars of clay, /q/to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

*8 *We are /r/afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; *9 *persecuted, but /s/not forsaken; /t/struck down, but not destroyed; *10 */u/always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, /v/so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

*11 *For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

*12 *So /w/death is at work in us, but life in you.

Vessel is used… a vessel .. making a wine.. remove the bitterness.. it keep getting poured until the *gregs were we moved*… we are to be vessles of honor…  our vessels.. God reaches down and makes the clay and he fasens the cleay…

 

Ideal of treasure… it has vaule… you have value … I have vale… you worth more to God then you could every know.. the cross…

 

 

Your life as a vessel is an instrument designed by the Potters hand to get the bitterness out of life… There in lies the problem.. when we are vessesl that are broken.. the bitterness remains….. and we miss our opertunity and mission in life to remove the bitterness and Sweeten Life….

God has called you to sweeten life… make it taste and deliouse for your self and everyone else in your life…

 

*But you can’t when your broken…*

 

We created by the In justcus of life…

Life hs a way of demeaning the  value of our vessel.. we are still human while we are still human..  (Lightingly pounding the vessel on the pulbit..) life beats the vessel.. pressure is applied.. concentrated presseure…

 

Wood gravel.. represents unjustices that come your way…..

 Hab.

2:9 “Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain.

Luke 18:2 He said,   there was an unjust judge..“In a certain city there was a judge who /t/neither feared God nor respected man.

\\ You cannot do life without.. unjust people and unjust situations coming your way…

 

Yet it is not just …the woode gravel of  Injustce that that will break you down,

 

Life has has a way of upgrading the pressure from wood gravel to hammers of steel.

The Hammer becomes steel.

When pounds you will the pressure of:

#.

Family breakup and diviorce.

#.

You check and you Bank account reveal you are broke

#.

It pounds when your Body is broken down.

#.

When you have a nevous breakdown..

#.

Many wonderful people fail to reach their  purpose because of Church splits.

All of these areas of brokenness can leave a long lasting residue of bitter.

That can taint every aspect of life…

 

And the hammer of life pounds us… and before we know it we have this great big sign haning on our countances, carreers and character READS.. Life “Out of Order:

Broken down, busted, kaput, wrecked, had it.

Shattered, cracked, smashed, darmaged, ruined,  DESTROYED….

Image.. to Heal the Hurting (Broken vesssle to whole vessel)

 

In weariness we have a breaking.. we get locked into brokenness

Life is not fair… our vision..   \\ we see our selves as finished… it over.. we are a busted up person…

Jeremiah.. ch.19:* 10 *“Then /v/you shall break /w/the flask in the sight of the men who go with you, *11 *and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, /x/as one breaks a potter’s vessel, /y/so that it can never be mended.[3]

And as if we are insane.. we try to comfort the pain of our brokenness by applying the balm contantly picking at our wounds with the jagged piceces of our  wreckage..

 

 

Job.

2:8 Job he took a piece of broken  veessles to scrape his boils.

Some pieces in you use some how.. carry something with a broker pice..

 

I will assure you that the brokenness of your life… in a pertual state.. in not the intent of the Potter and he had something greater in mind..

He has a better ideal.. that you

 

None of those broken piece were the intended use of the vessel.. the Pottey had something else in mind.. \\ \\

Lots of people live like *disguards*… this happened… I’m marred by diviorce.

Bankrocly..   where we these boken vessels thrown to a place called gehnna.

A lot of pastors settle for being a potsir because they have a story..

Vally of gehenna.. a dumping ground.. Jesus used a 11 times for hell

The broken live in hell.

A dumping.. latter be called the dung gate.

Or the potsir gate.

A  place where all the trash go…in the mist .. is a ruble of broken dreams…

We get so comfortable in brokenness.. we get settle living wounded, of maimed..

Hell won that one… I will just have to live that way… it that abuse did not happen to me… I still have some use.. (hold up a part of the broken pice) 

God did not send His Son to the cross so you would have to *life a life time member of the disgards… it’s time to burn you membership card to that clup.. get up from the ashes and make something beautiful out of your lfie.. make something deliouse and sweet out of your toemmors..*

 

But we lingers.

In genna..  we linger in feces.. we linger in dung.. we linger in crap.

We linger in _____________ .

You fill in the blank..

 

If this had not have happened..

If that would have not happened..

If things could have been different.

If that decision would have not been made..

(life does not wait for the wounded) 

 

If I could have a converstion with just you… tune out every one …just you and me..you *are living like a pothir instead of a treasure… living in the dung gate instesd of the trearue you are*

Ps. 31:11 Because of all my adversaries I have become /j///a reproach,

          especially to my /k/neighbors,

     and an object of dread to my acquaintances;

          those who see me in the street /l/flee from me.

*12 *     I have been /m/forgotten like one who is dead;

          I have become like /n/a broken vessel.

*13 *     For I /o/hear the whispering of many—

          terror on every side!—

/p/     as they scheme together against me,

          as they plot to take my life.

[4]

 

     /s/     rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!

*16 */t/     Make your face shine on your servant;

          save me in your steadfast love!

*17 *     O Lord, /u/let me not be put to shame,

          for I call upon you;

     let the wicked be put to shame;

          let them go /v/silently to Sheol.

*18 *     Let the lying lips be mute,

          which /w/speak /x/insolently against the righteous

          in pride and contempt.

*19 *     Oh, how abundant is your goodness,

          which you have stored up for those who fear you

     and worked for those who take refuge in you,

     /y/     in the sight of the children of mankind!

*20 *     In /z/the cover of your presence you hide them

          from the plots of men;

     you /a/store them in your shelter

          from the strife of tongues.

*21 *     Blessed be the Lord,

          for he has wondrously /b/shown his steadfast love to me

          when I was in /c/a besieged city.
