In the Word, there is often an assignment attached to a breakthrough. In John 2, Jesus tells the servants at the wedding feast to "fill the jars with water." If they hadn't, they wouldn't have seen a miracle. The Israelites... if they don't cross the Jordan, they don't get a miracle; if they don't circle Jericho seven times, they don't receive their breakthrough. "Do whatever He tells you." (John 2:5)
