31st December 2023 Celebration Service - Simon Chaffer - Operation Breakthrough

M hm m mm hmmm. Yeah, h h h okay, this is

another message about Kingdom ready, the last one you'll be pleased to know of

the year. The title of the Holy Spirit Gaming was Operation Breakthrough. For

this word operation breakthrough. This might sound like a military briefing, but that's

how the law gave it to me, So there we go. Hm.

The dictionary definition of the word breakthrough means an instance of moving through or beyond

an obstacle, or an instance of passing through a barrier, or you could

say taking it to the next level. And what the Lord and have talked

us about today is about breakthrough, but operational breakthrough. If you don't have

a breakthrough, it's not operational. You are if on the sidelines, you

do not do anything in the Kingdom of God is made up of people like

you and like me, ordinary people who have within them the presence and anointing

of God, which makes us super natural people. When you were dead in

sin, you were just the person. When you're born again, you're filled

with the presence and the person of God. You carry that presence wherever you

go. So to be operational, we need to be ready. Otherwise,

if you're not ready, you can't be put into a position where you're operating

how God wants you to operate. You know, you sit and he puts

somebody else into play who is not their job to do what you should be

doing, because He has to mobilize them because you're not ready. And that

happens a lot, believe it or not. So they were going to talk

a little while about operational breakthrough. H. Professional athletes work to be at

their best. Runners trained altitude so when they go to where they're going to

do the race, they've got that little bit extra than the next guy or

the next goal. They're always pushing for a competitive edge. If you know

people are into sports, they're very competitive, not just a sports but everything,

many quicks, anything, They want to be there. They want to

push to be where they want to be. H they're always pushing the invisible

barrier so they can be the best of the best, and they train hard

to achieve those goals. All truth is parallel what you're seeing the spirit world.

He's more real what's in a natural world. God wants us to be

at our best. He wants us to train the way He wants us to

train us to fulfill purpose, to achieve his goal. John, that working

n Thank you. Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven very familiar skips scripture. I

know the plans I have for you, says the Lord's specially from the amplified

better. I know for I know the thoughts and plan to have you,

says the Lord thought some plans for welfare and peace, not for evil,

to give you a hope in your final outcome. M Another. When it's

done, it's done. God prepares people to win, not to fail.

However, you've got to get in the program. You cannot sit like a

bump on a log and say, yeah, I'll do it, no problem.

We're coming to the new year now. So it's one of those things

where people make New Year's resolution, isn't it. Then want look trittier,

thinner or wherever they want to achieve something, and they write some stuff down

and some people go through that, go through the steps and get somewhere.

So people don't it just it just fades away. God does not want us

to fade away. He wants us to fulfill purpose. Yeah, that's when

the Holy bit nudges you in the morning to get up and pray, or

nudges to go and get hold of your Bible or wherever it is. That's

the time to make the step. It's not like they astronauts said one leap

for mankind or the exact translation that can't remember. It's what it says,

but you know it's it's it's shaping steps to get where we need to be.

Yeah, this is all stuff we know, but this is what I

mean asked to convey. So it is what it is. In essence,

we can align with God's plan or can do our own. Sweet thing.

Choice is hours, isn't it. Jesus said I will build my Church and

the gates of Hell shall not prevailed against it Matthew eighteen sixteen eighteen. And

he will do just that. But we need to cooperate. We all are

bits and we may go. Everyone does their bit key things. To find

out what your bit is and then do it. So God wants us to

be operator ready at our moment's notice, and that with that in mind,

we're going to conduct an inventory. I take stock of what we need to

be doing. There's only two or three thingling talk about Romans ten seventeen.

So say so faith comes by hearing. So that's the wrong translation. Let's

get the right translation. So the faith comes by hearing and hearing by the

word of God. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by them.

You can't hear the word of God, I should come to church or you

read on your bible, in your bible. Yeah. So the first thing

to talk about this morning is our word. Level that's the written word,

the living word, the Word of God. No word, no faith,

no word, no faith, but just shall live by faith. Yeah,

the word of God, who produces faith in our hearts. So we need

to have that word in regularly. Daily daily input means a daily boost of

faith. Yeah. I guess I'm just thinking about Christmas now. Sorry,

my mind went to Christmas. Christmas, we have all these this Brits spread,

don't we. Well, wherever you know we have turkey in this country,

people have ham, and we have you know, roast potatoes, pickures

in blankets, gonna be hungry now and all that sort of stuff. And

then if you're very English, you have Christmas pudding while branded more brand disorce

or something, isn't it. And there's a big spread and we told that

food and big go and sit down and go. Oh obviously when we were

we were too. Anyway, there's a long time ago. God wants to

eat spiritual food. Food is nice. Too much of it, you get

fat it is. You can't get fat on the word. You get strong

on the word, and your faith develop. So you can release that faith

and see God heals somebody or work in Someboday's life. God's for twenty look

probably for twenty. We put it on there. M yeah, my son,

give attention to my words. Inclineate ear to my sayings, Do not

let them depart from your eyes, keeping them in the midst of your heart.

Their life to those who find them health, those translations of medicine,

to all their flesh. God's words are life and their health. Whever we

give our attention to will be front and center in our hearts and in our

thinking. If you're watching a load of films or a load of soaps,

or are you looking at them, that's what's going to be there. I

put the word of God that that's what's going to be there. Not saying

don't watch TV. What I'm saying is we need to be operationally ready.

So you know, whether you're listening online, we're going to listen later to

this you know where you are. God knows where you are. You know

to me, I see your face. You could be smiling, it can

be down. Whatever I see your face, God doesn't look like the outlooks.

He looks on the heart. He sees you. You cannot hide from

him. Try it doesn't work. Believe me. God sees it inside what

you're thinking in your heart. Never mind what you say in your face.

He sees this in here. You cannot hide from him. So you know

where you are with your word level. I'd have to put a finger on

anything here. This applies to you, You know what you've got to do.

If it doesn't apply to you, keep on doing what you're doing.

The key thing is to be ready. The key thing is to the vest

in the word of God. So your faith level is where it needs to

be. Keeper's foretold of the Word of God is sharp at the two edges,

sort of penetrating. When you speak the word of God out of your

mouth, things change. God said, light be, and light was with

God's words in our mouth. As we walk in faith, things will change,

and we're speak into circumstances, to situation, to people's lives. That's

what God wants us to do because twenty twenty four, if you're sitting at

a bump on a log, he wants it to be a of operational readiness

so it can move forward. It's not case looking around the people in this

room, which gets looking at the bigness of your God and what your God

is going to do through you. If you commit to the program and get

on with it, include me in that anyways. A number one, what's

your word level? Like? Number two? What's your prayer that look like?

Let me find that. M hm h m hmm. I think one

Tessalonians five seventeen comes to mind. Yeah, one Testonians five seventeen, Paul

speaking pray without ceasing. If you read the Apostle Paul's letters, he's always

rocking up about prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer,

prayer. That's what he says. I give thanks to God, thank you

for his grace, and pray without ceasing. I think it's James five and

verse fourteen. Then he sick coming, I think or field as the church

and then pray over him nineteen oil and the prayer of faith is fifty and

the prayer of faith you'll save the sick and the thought she'll raise him up

if he has committed, and you shall have forgiven him. The prayer of

faith shall save the sick. It's only a prayer filled with faith that's going

to make any difference. Otherwise it's just going to hit the ceiling and bounce

back. God wants us to be full of the word and in prayer.

Now, our prayer level is linked to our communion or our relationship with the

Father. Oh you've got no relationship with God. You I've got a prayer

life just as that simple, isn't it. Really? You've got to have

a connection if your marriage. Speak to your wife, you speak to your

kids as a relationship. There. If you don't say anything for a few

days, somebody get a slab, What are you doing? Why are you

speaking to me? We need to be regularly communicating with God minute by minute,

second by second, having that relationship with the Father. We are his

children. When you come from your prace to player, people should see the

presence of God in your life. John fifteen arm verse under evamed amplified The

dwelling me and I will dwell in you live in me, and I will

live in you. Dwelling me and I will dwell in you. Live in

me, and I will live in you. Just as no branch can bear

fruit of itself without abide in or being vitally united to the vine. Either

can you bear fruit unless you abide, live remain in me. When you

are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him bears much abundant

fruit. However, apart from me, cut off from vital union with me,

you can do nothing. If a person does not dwell in me,

He's thrown out like a broken off branch and withers. Such branches are gathered,

but I'm thrown in to the fire, and they are burned. If

you live in me, abide vitally united to me, and my words remain

in you, and continue to live in your hearts. Ask whatever you want,

will, and it shall be done for you. If you live in

me, abide vitally united to me and my words remain in you, and

continue to live in your hearts. Ask whatever you will, and it shall

be done to you. I was quite a promise. Do we believe it?

Do we do it? It's all the bad relationship. It's all the

bad relationship. He wants us to be vitally united to him in that fellowship,

which takes time into case commiment, doesn't it said to your wife or

quick chatter for two minutes, long enough, and I'll see on the end

of two days time to give a quick chapter. Two minutes. That isn't

going to work for any relationship. It's got to be daily contact. It's

got to be quiet, it's got to be a time of quality time.

But that's an hour in the morning for you or where it's going to be.

We're all different, We've all got different pressures in life. I've woted

nowadays, these things I've picked up a mobile. All people are listening online,

ring at all times, or text being at all times nowadays. I

was a youngster, these things didn't exist, so you'd use a landline,

or you know, you wrote a letter, who wrote a letter and posted

it and waited for a response. It was a different, different world,

no computers at the time, so life run at a different place. Now

life is a lot quicker, a lot faster. Whatever happens to the other

side of the world. Things on your device in a matter of seconds,

and so the life we live is very very quick, very fast space.

But that doesn't allow us to walk away from our communion with God. That

means we've got to be wise how we use our time to get into that

space. If you don't have to do it, ask him give you a

little plan so you can do what you need to do. Someone's are very

organized. I can half time out others just everywhere and how to do that.

God knows that. But God come work with us to achieve the goal

he wants us to achieve in our lives. It's our ponssibility to take time

to live and to doe well with him as well with him. Idea of

faults should be to do life with God. And that's just not the only

on a Sunday. We should be living and remaining a walker every day.

And that's where he wanted to be. With this operational readiness peace. Yeah.

The worst level of the faith level the community, and they will all

roll into one thing. So about filling ourselves the worthy God. So we're

operating in faith, having a decent level of prayer, so we can release

that faith in the people's lives. See people's change and kind the presence of

God in such a way that manifest to other people. I've just seen shadows

of people walking backwards and authority, as with praising God going to town to

shop on a Sunday. These people who don't know Jesus be people like you

and I. They're going to see that, they'll be ready. Otherwise,

you know, we're going to give you best like the runners. You've got

to prepare. We've got to give our best. Genesis five twenty two says

he not walked in habitual fellowship with God. Genesis five twenty four says,

and he not worked in habitual fellowship with God, and he was not forgot

took him home to be with him. That's before they come with the Holy

period. He not worked with God, and he was out of her only

Bang gone. We need to a place where we walk with God. They

say, oh, that's time. He walks with God. That's salmum.

She walks with God. Why because they can see that, Not because we're

telling them that. Because they can see that. So it's a guy called

ruthless. Ruthless Moseley who was nineteen nineteen forties, nineteen fifties. He'd put

it this way, each believer has promised to them the ability to live on

daily, moment by moment conscious union with Jesus that would produce a life of

joy on an unparalleled level. I'll say that again. I'll read that again.

Each believer has promised to them the ability to live on daily, moment

by moment conscious union with Jesus that would produce a life of joy on an

unparalleled level. So we talk about the union and the communion, which is

you get to God's presence. That's what we need to be stretching for's w

that's the space we need to occupy. We need to prioritize a union.

Interestingly, John five and verse thirty, which is Jesus speaking, says,

I'm able to do nothing from myself, independently of my own accord, but

totally as I am taught by God, and as I get his orders,

even as I hear, I judge, I decide as I am bidden to

decide, as the voice comes to me. So I give a decision,

and my judgment is right, just righteous. Because I do not seek I'll

cancel my own will. I have no desire to do what is pleasing to

myself, my own aim, my own purpose, but only the will and

pleasure of the Father who sent me. If the Master says that then we

need to align with that. You're only going to hear the voice of God

if you get into the union and the communion and you sit and you listen,

and then as the union community develops, when you're walking along the street,

God will speak to you when you can't. When you're at work,

godal faith and into you, and you'll make a Devigne intervention into a situation

and people say, where did that come from? That's an opportunity to tell

them. But it's sony when we commit to the union. But this is

just going to happen. So homework for today is to read during the five

thirty every day this week, meditate on it. That's a lot to speak

to you through that. What do you need to do to be in that

place? You can read these scriptures, you know, we can read.

It's all cool, it's all good stuff. But we've got to be operation

already. We've got to live this stuff. You're talking to this and about

the Kingdom of God. You know, they want to see reality in what

you're sharing. There's no reality if there's no life, they're going to say,

I don't know. When they see life, they're interested because people are

drawn to life you see somebody with a little baby might never be their baby

or their kid. H big eyes, funny noises, tickle tickle. People

are drawn to life. God is life. We called to live life to

the full till it overflows. It says, that's abundant life. We will

live abundant life when we walk in in union and communion, full of faith,

full of the word. It's that simple, not following. So we've

talked about the word level, We've talked about the prayer level, we talked

about the communion. So a practical intervention. So don't no of you can't

fulfill purpose, You can't fulfill plan if you're not healthy. I you're not

sleeping properly, you're not eating properly, you know, exercising properly. Some

for those sects that are laid down in beeat and sleep. If you'll don't

make me don in safety and combient trust. We have a responsibility, no

need to invest in the spiritual, but to invest in the physical. No

point stuff in your face with donuts and the word of God. After a

while you won't be able to get into your clothes. How I know,

people in this room, what that revelation It wasn't me. You know,

we've got to look after our physical bodies. They carry the presence God.

You're going to be out of here before your time and not fulfill your purpose

because you're not investing in your health, in investing your sleep, and investing

your eating. This might be simple ast, but that's why that's to convey

this morning. So we need to make right choices about what we do so

we can feel per fil for purpose. It can be operationally ready. We

can pray to go when he says go, do when he says do.

That makes it about making right choices, doesn't it? Only thirty four seven

says Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes

were not dim No, it's natural vigor diminished. So if you're a he

got through the twenty years, if you want to believe in faith and stretch

for that, Moses when he died, his eyes were not dim in these

glasses and his natural vida was not diminished. We need to push through a

fulfilled purpose. We need to be ready to do that. We need to

be That's why it's about I call the matches now operational breakthrough, because wants

to be operational, not only spiritually but also physically. Okay, God speaking

to you about that? Fair enough? It is not fair. But don't

just focus on the one part of it makes you understand the big picture that

mind me and some of you've got to go do some walking, some of

you've got to go to the gym or any equivalent. Doesn't matter what you

do, is it? You do what all this bird says? You know,

do this? You need to do that? You know, Yeah,

I don't eat anymore. Don't put that in your mouth. No no,

no, that's not anymore, No more in your mouth. Something else?

I have that in moderation, God help us. Who got to listen?

M do you know no, no, no, not not the two cakes

today? Just one. It's Christmas, yes, Christmas, but you know

it's tomorrow. We need to be listening to what you're saying. So well,

fulfill purpose. So last one commitments. We need to check whether or

are committed to something, or committed to doing something, or committed to certain

relationships, certain connections with people. There's only so much that we can do

as individuals, and how we direct our time, how we direct our resources.

Only twenty four hours in the day we're supposed to sleep for most of

that or not work until midnight and then get a put phone and start again.

That's not balanced. So we need to assess our commitments, should it

be involved in this or not where it should be targeting our time. That

applied to everybody. The scripture we're going to look on He is John fifteen,

ringing from Versus one through eight, and the truth eye. And my

father is the vine dresser. Any branch in me that does not bear fruit,

that stops bearing, he cuts away, trims off, takes away,

and he cleans and repeatedly prudes every branch that continues to bear fruit to make

it bear more and richer, a more excellent fruits. You are cleaners and

prune already because of the word which I've given you, the teachings I've discussed

with you. Well in me and I will dwelling. You live in me,

and I will live in you. Just as no brands can bear fruit

in itself without a binding in or being vite to the united to the vine,

neither can you bear fruit unless you are buying me. I'm the vine,

whether lives in me and I in him bears much abundant fruit However,

apart from me, cut off from vital uni with me, you can do

nothing. Person does not dwelling me, he's thrown out like a broken off

branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire,

and they are burned. If you're live in me, abide widely united to

me and my words, remain in you, and continue to live in your

hearts. Ask whatever you will, I should be done for you. When

you bear or produce much fruit. My father is honored and glorified, and

you show and prove yourselves to true followers of mine. So if it's the

vine where the branches first couple of verses of the whole lot of pruney going

on there, you're proven if you do, and you'll be done. Yeah.

If you don't. In a bear fruit, you're proved. If you

are in a bare food, you're proved. So sometimes we need to get

our pruning shares out and do a bit of pruning. Is that relationship or

is that thing I'm doing go in the right direction. I don't need to

chop it off where I want to be call look through the fruit, but

might also want to prone's other things in our lives, the things that take

our attention away from what we need to be focusing on. Not that might

be wrong things, it's cause where the attention needs to be. Again,

that's about flowing and walking in and through the presence of God to know what

we need to do. God can tap us on the shoulder. That's right,

Actually, hello, tap it on the shoulder, and we can go

hello, I want to do this, and you can go, oh,

right, I'll do it a bit later, you know, or you can

go yeah, okay, again, I'll do it. Let's get on with

it. Let's getting with the fix that we need to do. It's something

to it, isn't it. You know, they're very short trousering here today,

so you know, we're all got long trousers things that are dead and

proven so that things that need to grow have the energy to do. So,

you need to make sure that we're growing in the right direction. We

need to pray. If they consider our commitments, our relationships on what changes

we need to make to be the operational they're ready. Yeah, I will

build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against him.

He does the building, he does the pruning, he does a talking.

We are to position ourselves in a place to listen and to hear and then

to respond. We need to align with God's will for our lives. God's

purpose and our plan is plan should I say, A linked to doing these

things right world level, right, prayer level, right communion level, look

after your physical body, do what it says to do, look at your

commitments. All the things wrap up into one thing. That's successful Christian life,

where your operational are ready to do what you need to had the drop

of that. You can employ you anywhere in this world, anywhere in this

town, to do what He wants you to do, not say somebody else

across the town. Okay, you better go and do this because you're never

ready. Don't I get to heaven, I got to the well. You're

going to do that? I cusure wherever it's best to be rested for the

other your purpose. It's all about making quality decisions, isn't it? Little

decisions directors. It's not just one decision, that's it. Flippings three and

verse fourteen. Hopefuls of this way, I press towards the goal the prize

of the book calling of God in Christ Jesus, I press towards the goal,

the prize of the book calling of Christ of God in Christ Jesus.

Later later on, he said, I run the race. I've done my

bit, I fulfill what I'm going to do. I've done purpose, I've

done, and dustard I'm aren't here. We need to press towards to go

so we can say I've both said I've run my race, aren't here.

When it's God's timing, we cannot miss God's best. We must make sure

we fulfilled His purpose through our lives. Let's pray. So we're in this

room, whether listening later, we're listening now. I pray that God takes

you from where you are put through from where it puts you where you need

to be, positions you in these areas we've talked about, the physical,

the word level, the prayer level, the commitments, the health. So

he puts you to a position where He helps you achieve your best to fulfill

your purpose. This won't be all at once. It will be step by

step, and each step will be a miracle. There's not trying to do

anything at the same time. This is about taking step by step making adjustments.

The key thing is to be operationally ready when you need to be God

can't work with you. Don't misunderstand me. There are certain things that need

to change in our lives. So a pray the name of Jesus, thank

God, speaks to you clearly about these things, step by step and each

step will be a miracle. And Jesus Name Amen,
