THIS IS THE YEAR FOR BREAKTHROUGH!



Matthew 6:25-34 NIV 25  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will
eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the
body more than clothes? 26  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more
valuable than they?  27  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life [a] ?
28  “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do
not labor or spin. 29  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of
these.  30  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little
faith?  31  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What
shall we wear?’ 32  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father
knows that you need them.  33  But SEEK FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.  34  Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”



SEEK FIRST



“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need
and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 NLT



1. PRAY BOLD PRAYERS.



You are one bold prayer away from a breakthrough.



Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers.



Mark 9:22-23 NLT “Have mercy on us and help us, if you can. What do you mean if I
can? Jesus asked, “Anything is possible if a person believe.”



2. PRAY SPECIFIC PRAYERS.



Mark 10:51-52 NLT “What do you want me to do for you? Jesus ask, “My Rabbi,” the
blind man said, “I want to see.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed
you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.”



Matthew 7:9-11 NLT “You parents – if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give
them a stone instead? Of if you ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will
your heavenly father give good gifts to those who ask him.”



The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered because they go
unasked.



3. PRAY PERSISTENT PRAYERS.



Matthew 7:7-8 NLT “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on
seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For
everyone who ask, receives, everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks,
the door will be open.”



UNTIL YOU GET AN ANSWER, KEEP CIRCLING IT IN PRAYER.



4. PRAY CONSISTENT PRAYERS.



Mark 1:35 NLT “Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an
isolated place to pray.”



1 Thessalonians 5:17
“ Never stop praying.” NLT
“Pray continually.” NIV
“Pray without ceasing.” NKJV
“Pray all the time.” MSG
“Make your life a prayer.” TPT



Acts 2:42 NLT, “All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, and to
fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.”
Colossians 4:2 NLT “Devote yourselves to prayer with an apart mind and a thankful
heart.”



BREAKTHROUGH WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU SEEK GOD FIRST.
