Theme: Celebrating Victory and Declaring Breakthrough

“Breakthrough Anthem” is a powerful song that calls believers to declare God’s breakthrough and celebrate the victories He brings. It’s an anthem of confidence and faith, encouraging intercessors to trust that God is working powerfully to break down barriers and make a way through impossible situations. This devotion is designed to inspire faith and motivate intercessors to stand in boldness, believing in God’s promise to bring transformation and breakthrough.

Understanding Breakthrough in Prayer:

In the Bible, breakthrough often comes when God’s people step out in faith, trusting Him to move on their behalf. Whether it’s the walls of Jericho falling down after Israel’s shout of faith or God making a way through the Red Sea, breakthrough is about trusting God beyond what we can see and believing He will intervene in our situation. As intercessors, we are called to release a sound of faith that moves mountains and calls down heaven to earth.

Practical Steps for Intercession:

1. Declare God’s Promises Over Your Situation:
• Begin by declaring the promises of God over the situations where breakthrough is needed. Speak His Word aloud and align yourself with what He has already spoken. When we declare His promises, we release faith and create an atmosphere for God to move.
• Declaration: “Lord, I declare that You are doing a new thing in this situation. You are making a way where there seems to be none. Break through every barrier and bring victory for Your glory.”
2. Pray for Boldness and Faith:
• Ask God for boldness and faith to believe for the breakthrough that seems impossible. Pray that He would remove any doubts and help you to trust in His power.
• Prayer: “Lord, increase my faith. Give me boldness to trust You fully and to believe for the breakthrough that You have promised. Let my prayers be full of confidence in Your power.”
3. Shout in Victory:
• Just as the Israelites shouted before the walls of Jericho fell, release a shout of victory over the situation. Praise God for the breakthrough even before you see it, knowing that He is working behind the scenes.
• Prayer: “Lord, I praise You for the breakthrough that is coming. I shout in victory, knowing that You have already won the battle. Let every wall come down, and may Your power be revealed.”
4. Proclaim Victory Over Strongholds:
• Stand in the authority given to you by Jesus and declare victory over every stronghold, every barrier, and every obstacle that stands in the way of God’s purposes.
• Declaration: “In Jesus’ name, I proclaim victory over every stronghold. Every barrier must come down, and every chain must be broken. I declare that freedom is here, and breakthrough is now!”

Personal Reflection:

• What area in your life do you need a breakthrough? Write down the promises of God concerning that situation and declare them daily in faith.
• Are there any strongholds that you sense are hindering you from experiencing freedom? Bring them before God in prayer, trusting Him to break every chain.

Encouragement for the Intercessor:

Breakthrough is often preceded by praise and faith-filled declarations. Even when we cannot see the way forward, God is already making a way. Your prayers are powerful, and they move the hand of God. Trust that He is working on your behalf, even if you cannot see the results right away. Let your faith be stirred, and continue to declare His victory over every situation. God has promised to bring rivers in the desert and make a way through the wilderness—your breakthrough is on its way.

Closing Prayer:

“Lord, we thank You that You are the God of breakthrough. We declare that every stronghold must fall, and every barrier must come down. We trust in Your promises and believe that You are working on our behalf. Give us boldness to praise You in the waiting, and may we see Your victory in every area of our lives. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
