Welcome to 40 Days of Daily Bread: Devotionals for Breakthrough! This is a collection of how I learned to live yielded to God and saw the fruit of thriving in Christ as a result.

Would you like to become consistent with having a Daily Time with God?

Do you want to become a stronger follower of Jesus?

Do you need BREAKTHROUGH in your walk with the Lord?

If you said yes to any of those questions, then you will find plenty of good spiritual food in 40 Days of Daily Bread!

Jesus showed us that we can come to the Father for our Daily Bread (Matthew 6:11). Your inner self needs nourishment to be strong and to grow. You might have been unintentionally fasting your spiritual food. Don’t allow yourself to become spiritually malnourished!

Why 40 days? God used a period of 40 days to prepare His people for the special work:

  • Moses on Mount Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments (Exodus 24:18)
  • The 12 spies scouting the land (Numbers 13:25)
  • Elijah on Mount Carmel for recharging (1 Kings 19:8)
  • Jesus fasted in the desert to be tested by the devil prior to His earthly ministry (Matthew 4:2)

Whatever your reason, this time is going to equal one thing—breakthrough!

Are you ready to breakthrough into a greater spiritual maturity? Great! Then keep reading!

You Will Need

  • A Willing Heart

God wants to do a work in you during this time. That tug you feel to be involved in this—that is the Holy Spirit saying He is about to prepare you for service. Listen to that.

The posts will be brief, but you are investing eternally!

  • A Reminder

If you have a smartphone, set an alarm. If not, sticky notes are tried and true. Place one in a prominent place with a loaf of bread that you’ve sketched. Don’t worry, I can’t draw either. But God doesn’t care about your artistic skills. He’s more concerned with your obedience to follow through!

Have you ever tried to measure your spiritual growth? If you aren’t recording your walk with God, then you are cheating yourself of recording your own spiritual history. A regular notebook will be fine, or even an app such as Evernote.

I pray you are blessed and filled to overflowing through these devotions!
