Mark 9:23 ‘Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.’

Breakthrough is a 2019 American Christian film, based on an account of true events of the life of John Smith, a young man whom many see as a walking miracle,
John — who was adopted by his parents, Joyce and Brian, when he was just a baby — attended middle school and played sports … until tragedy struck.
On January 19, 2015, then-14-year-old John and two of his friends were messing around on frozen Lake St. Louise when the ice broke open beneath their feet and they plummeted down into the brutally cold water. One boy was able to climb his way out, and another was quickly rescued. John, however, became trapped and sank down to the lake’s floor. After 15 minutes underwater, John was finally pulled to the surface by first responders and taken to the nearby St. Joseph Hospital West. His body was cold and lifeless, and doctors tried to administer CPR for 43 minutes with no success. The Emergency room doctor was preparing to deliver the tragic news to John’s mother, Joyce, when she entered her son’s hospital room and quickly said a desperate prayer: “Holy Spirit, please come and give me back my son!” she prayed aloud, according to People.
As the story goes, that was the moment that everything changed: Immediately after Joyce uttered those words, her son’s heart began beating once again. And he just kept continuing to defy the odds from there — although his doctors had told Joyce and Brian that he would likely never regain neurological function, John was awake and answering questions within 48 hours of his rescue.
In an unprecedented turn of events, John not only recovered fully from his brush with death, but he also did so with remarkable speed: Just three weeks after his lifeless body had been admitted to the hospital, John walked out the front door on his own two feet. He had to attend outpatient therapy for several weeks following his release, but it was a recovery that doctors had never seen the likes of before.
Joyce wrote about it in her book ‘The Impossible’ which was made into the movie ‘Breakthrough’.
Speaking to People magazine Joyce said “I have always believed that God’s going to do what he says he does because I’ve seen it all my life. The very moment that I needed God, He was there instantly’.

There is incredible power in what we believe. If you want to see God’s miracle working power, then you must activate your faith. Something powerful happens when you release your faith.
Faith doesn’t just look at the facts and give up. Faith looks at circumstances, that look like defeat and yet believes God against all the odds.
If we’re going to be victorious in life, then we must walk by faith and not allow what we see to dominate and defeat us.
You may be facing situations that seem impossible, but when you dare to believe, God can do the incredible and the miraculous.
It doesn’t matter what the experts may have said or how long it has been that way, trust that God is able to miraculously turn that situation around.

In Ezekiel 37, God took Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones and asked him “Son of man, can these bones live?’ When Ezekiel acknowledged God’s sovereignty and ability to do anything, The spirit of God came upon him and as he started prophesying, the dead bones came back to life.

Today, we are being asked the same question as Ezekiel. “Do you believe that dry bones can rise and live again?’ The medical and financial reports may not look good, but do you believe God can turn things around?
God has good plans, to promote you, to heal you, to restore you, to show you favor. But all the good things God has for you will only be activated when you believe.
Nothing can stand against God’s plan for you when you believe. No disappointment, no setback, no injustice, no person, no hater, no jealousy can hinder you. When you believe, all the forces of darkness cannot stop God’s plan from coming into manifestation in your life.
But to have faith you must commit to diligent study of God’s Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing God’s Word.
No matter the enemy’s plan to frustrate or hinder you, when you have faith you will always have the victory. Because, faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Today, as we continue to trust God and praise Him, He will surely turn every mourning into dancing for us and do inexplicable wonders in our lives..

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for being in perfect control of my life. No matter what I may face today, I know You are always able to take care of me and enable me to overcome every trial and temptations in Jesus Name.
