A Breaking Point is...

When you have had all you can stand, and you can stand no more!

#1: Faith Rises

“Mordecai . . . instructs Esther to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people.” (Esther 4:8)

At your Breaking Point You’re moving from...

- Brokenness to Breaking Point
- The Basement to the Workroom
- Bowing to Standing
- Your Knees to your Hands
- Tears to Tenacity
- Mourning to Movement
- Empathy to Compassion

#2: Calling Clarifies

“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king….”

(Esther 4:14–16)

When you get to the need for a Breakthrough—if you sit with God long enough in the condition of what is—He will give you a clear vision of what He has called you to do.

Three Parts to Clarifying Calling:

In seasons where you need BREAKTHROUGH, where YOU ARE isn’t your PREFERENCE, BUT ... IT IS the place where God reveals and clarifies your PURPOSE.

#3: Sacrifice Intensifies

“…I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

- I’m willing to endure hurt if it leads to God’s healing
- I’m willing to suffer in order to see God’s salvation
- I’m willing to go all in to see God make it all well
- I’m willing to go through pain in order to see God’s gain
- I’m willing to let go and let God
