When we depend on God completely, we can hear God's voice. To be precise, When we draw closer to the guide, he will give us a clear guidance.
We all long to hear God's verdict, guidance in major decisions and breakthrough for our problems like sickness, hurting relationships, poverty, emotional and mental breakdowns etc,...And when our situation is out of control, we have no other option but, to run to him! We immediately tend to fast and say, "Lord I don't know what to, Please guide me". It's absolutely amazing and we need to have this humility even before we can try all other possibilities because Jesus is waiting for us to run to him in the first place. So, today I am gonna share what I have seen and learnt from people of God.
They say, "A man's experience with God becomes his message".
Dear Reader, what is your message?
I hope and pray that as you read this article, you will draw closer to the guide to gain your experience!
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer, highlighting the beauty and history of the item instead of concealing it.
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize (increase the power, status, or wealth of) the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.
If God is allowing you to be broken, it means that he is preparing you for eternal purposes. He wants you to consider that any problem you face is a door to your blessing. Whenever God wants you to solve a problem, it means it is an assignment for you from him for your blessing. As the Bible says in Lamentation 3: 32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. So if your so broken like the heart in the image, may God's love (precious than Gold) hold you together like a masterpiece of "Kintsugi Heart" as you depend on him to take the lead.
Breakthrough prayer:
So how to get through this grief period, our struggles and receive our Breakthrough...? pray like!!?
1. Declare the Greatness of the God and his awesomeness and define the things that is bothering you clearly, and areas you are struggling to the Great God.
Psalm 89 : 8,9 says: O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.
2. Depend on God.
Tell him I can't do this, I need you to do this for me.
Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. He wants us to wait and trust. Sometimes faith means doing nothing! Look to him Wait, watch and Trust. Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
So when we are humble in surrender to his voice he will lead us.
3. Listen to what God says.
You needn't be anxious about what people around you may speak if you do what God says.
It's enough if you are famous in your heavenly father's eyes and not bother about popularity and good name before man. Sometimes we may even say, I'm so sorry Lord, I have let you down! absolutely not, because he is the one that is holding us up in the palm of his hands.
Psalm 145:18,19 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
4. Thank him in advance.
Most of the time during our breakthrough prayers we desperately keep repeating our need so often. Instead, when we thank him in advance, God will be pleased with our faith. Because if we thank him for what he has already done then it shows our Gratitude, but if we thank him with our whole heart and praise him for what he is going to do, it reveals our step of Faith. Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Also, Psalm 134:1 Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who stand by night in the house of the LORD! The verse invites us to Praise and thank him even in the darkest moments of life.
5. Believe that he turns our Battles into Blessings.
So, just as we read about the broken heart which was made more beautiful with Gold by Japanese art, God will turn all that is working against us, through our problems and battles into open doors and blessings for our future.
Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Isaiah 2:22 Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he? As we read in the above verses, we can be sure that, the one who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.
Prayer: Heavenly father, Speak Lord, we wait on you. In Jesus name - Amen

So friends, with these in mind never forget the basics:
Submit to his Lordship - Confess and declare Jesus you alone are Lord over my life, you are sovereign.(James 4:7)
Resist the Enemy - Put on the armor of God - truth, righteousness, readiness for Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, word of God.(Eph 6:10-20)
Expect an answer - Through word of God, audible voice, circumstances, visions, dreams, most often through that quiet inner voice.(Isaiah 30:21- This is the way walk in it)
Prayer: Heavenly father, Speak Lord, we wait on you. In Jesus name - Amen
