Coming from the wilderness into the springs of living water.

We don't look forward to the wilderness experience.  It is dry and hot and we can do nothing to help ourselves there.

Nothing to ease our suffering or anguish, or our confusion and hurt.

But the wilderness is the place where we have shut out everyone, there is only God.
He's waiting to meet with us in dry places of our soul. 

He has living water for us after our experience of dryness.

Our dry times will drive us to salvation.  That's the place where we know we need to be saved and receive Jesus as Lord.
We feel undone and need to surrender to the Lord. We need to be saved.
He alone will quench our thirst with living water.

John 7:38
"He who believes in Me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow living water."

After we are saved there are many experiences we will encounter, the wilderness being one of them.

When we have our wilderness experience it will cause our spiritual ears to open, and make us to  hear from the Lord through His word and His gift of life.

The wilderness is the place where we will have to totally depend on the Lord. There is no other help, not from friends or family or the environment.  Only Jesus is there.

While Jesus was on this earth, He knew where to get His help. He would go into the wilderness and talk to His Father.
Luke 5:16
So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

Jesus knew where and when to withdraw to the wilderness to gain strength and hear from the Father. 
Sometimes we are driven there by circumstances in life.

We should know that when we are in the wilderness experience of life that Father is waiting to speak to us.
To reveal things to us that we are blinded to. He will open our understanding, give us direction and place hope in our heart once again.

Isaiah 58:11
The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones.  You shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Living water is flowing and moving, it is not stagnant, and still.
Keep moving forward in the Lord.
Living water will create life wherever it flows. (Think on this)

Beloved, embrace your wilderness experience, we are not to fear it, but know that Father is waiting for us, to speak with us, as we reach out to Him in prayer.

We will all go through our wilderness, that is the place where we grow up in the Lord.  Our weakness is now turned to strength!

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

Yes, this speaks so much to my heart as I have been here for the last year and a half and now God is leading me out of it. I was watching something the other day regarding the book by John Bevere, God, Where are You?. In it he talked about the Wilderness as a place of preparation for us, that God is using it to prepare us for what's to come. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit speaks to us in multiple ways regarding what we need to learn!

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
