I heard God say to the Church, “Your trudging will turn to breakthrough.”⁠
⁠
I saw a picture of a steam engine looking as if it was ready to go full steam ahead, but the track in front of it was still being built. The picture zoomed in, and I could see the workers of the train labouring to build the track that lay directly in front of the train. I saw the word trudging- to walk or march steadily and usually laboriously move forward. The workers, although still persevering, were weary and trudging through. ⁠
⁠
I felt God said, “Many have been in a season of hard work, of harsh conditions, and have been feeling exhausted, but I promise that through the hard work, there will be breakthrough.” The train needs the tracks to move forward, or it is a stationary vision. Take heart, your ministry will move. There will be progress. Even though it feels like things are not going anywhere and your patience to see God work through you is running out, He says soon the shift will happen. You will be surprised by its speed and agility once it gets going.⁠
⁠
Press in. Continue in faithfulness to put the work in. The breakthrough is coming for you. ⁠
⁠
Philippians 3:14 ESV I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.⁠
⁠
Philippians 3:12-15 NIV Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.⁠
⁠
Hebrews 12:1 ESV Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,⁠
⁠
Philippians 1:6 ESV And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.⁠
