Breakthrough Growth 

In all areas of your life you are either: dying, surviving or thriving

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 (NKJV)

Thriving & Growing

Thriving is the visible evidence of internal growth.
Growth is the invisible process that produces a thriving life.

Soul Tattoo: If you’re thriving, it’s because you’re growing—no one thrives by accident.

Thriving is the harvest of growth / Growth is the root of thriving.

Growth Happens with:

1. The Right Environment

“Bad company corrupts good character.” — 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)

2. Consistent Nourishment

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.” — 1 Peter 2:2 (NIV)

3. Time and Patience

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

Captive Christians — “Fully devoted followers of Jesus”
Casual Christians — “Faith is important, but not life-directing”

“America’s hope lies in believers who live out the teachings of Jesus faithfully—not casually, not occasionally, but wholeheartedly.” George Barna

3 Ways Satan Keeps Believers From Thriving

1. He Distorts God’s Word and Your Identity

2. He Distracts You From God’s Goodness

3. He Disconnects You From God and Healthy Relationships

Thriving comes when you obey Jesus with your whole life—because abundant life is only found on the other side of action.

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22 (NIV)
