I have broken through.

Do you hear me I have broken through!

Why are you so surprised to see brokenness all around?

How do you view the broken pieces?

Fragments of what once was, or building blocks for what is yet to be?

Are they ruins, symptoms of a ruined plan, a broken thing that was once whole?

No, they are pieces of a bigger thing that is yet to be constructed. They are pieces of something that is better, bigger, greater than you can imagine.

Isaiah 58:11-12 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

Broken jewels, gems of creativity, placed in my treasure box for someone that I treasure.

This is my great treasury, that will now resource that which is to become.

2 Corinthians 4:6-9 For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah). However, we possess this precious treasure in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves. We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair; We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;

What was – is fore gone, what is now – is before, what is to come – is foremost.

You are before that which is foremost. The time is here, and is soon to come, where the most will be to the fore.

Expect the most, not the enough.

John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till itoverflows).

What does the most look like? What is abundance? What abounds in abundance? My abundance is without bounds, is outside the boundary, it is over the line, it is out of bounds. It is over the boundary. It is the arrow that lands in the enemies camp. It is the flag that is raised in evidence of dominion.

Be dominant, have dominion, possess your possession, possess my possession, possess that which I possess, possess me, for you are my possession.

It is in my nature to possess, for all is mine, and all that is mine shall possess.

What is it that you possess? For you possess my promise, my purpose, my seed, my treasure, my abundant seed, my word.

Genesis 48:2-4 When Jacob was told, Your son Joseph has come to you, Israel collected his strength and sat up on the bed. And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz [Bethel] in the land of Canaan and blessed me And said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make you a multitude of people and will give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.

Sow the seed of my word, on the soil that is your circumstance, for it shall bear fruit, it shall rise up, it shall impact that which carries it.

Prophesy to the dry ground, that it shall bear fruit, to the desert wilderness that it shall become a lush pasture.

Joel 2:21-22 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things! Be not afraid, you wild beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness have sprung up and are green; the tree bears its fruit, and the fig tree and the vine yield their [full] strength.

Be not hesitant but possessive. Be not overwhelmed, but overwhelm the enemy. Be not withdrawn, but advance.

Move beyond it, say I am beyond it! Be beyond it. Be over the boundary, be without limit! Break the rev limiter. Accelerate beyond that which you can imagine. Blur the bounds of your thinking, go beyond the edge, go so fast that all you can focus on is the horizon. Break the speed limit. Break the rules. Become the rule. Set the standard.

The foremost is a forgone conclusion.
