"The word ‘breakthrough' presents the image of bursting past, or out of something that has confined or limited you. Once you make that breakthrough and those limiting factors have been removed you are now able to experience the freedom and peace of a new reality. Many people go through life feeling the weight and constraints of abuse, failure, addictions, bad habits, and a poor self image. We feel that we fall short of what we should be and what God has for us. The Bible tells us 'Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you,' Acts 3:19 (MSG). The first step to breakthrough is being honest with ourselves and honest with God. When we face God, we tell him where we are, ask forgiveness and he will wipe away our sins and failures. Then we break through into the new reality of peace with God which has 'showers of blessings to refresh you.' Now is the time to change your ways. Now is the time for your breakthrough. God is waiting with open arms to accept and help you right now." - Dan MacAulay ('DannyMac' - creator of two new Podcast series,
