Driven Into the Wilderness

in the Book of Mark the words are short and concise it tells quickly of all that Jesus experienced in life he makes mention of a place that he calls the wilderness a place where Satan is always a sly temptress into the wilderness David fled from the wrath of King Saul into the wilderness the nation of Israel had a 40 year haul into the wilderness Moses escaped from the persecuting of Egypt into the wilderness Elijah ran away from that Jezebel spirit from the wilderness God will deliver you into the Promised Land for it's in the wilderness where you'll see the power of His righteous hands God will do a new thing in a complete and new way He will send angels to protect you from day to day yet there are many things in life that you need to fast and pray about for the enemy will try anything to make you distrust and doubt the wilderness experience be it spiritual or physically real it's where you'll discover that God is the real deal out in the world's wilderness and you seem to be stressing you're in dire straits and need an immediate blessing but it's in the wilderness where you should start to pray that God will show you there is a better way as you walk through the valley of death know that God will hold your hand and shield you from the evilness that awaits in the burning sands be it the emotional or mental wilderness of your life it's those times you need help with the struggle and strife if you understand the wilderness is just a test site a place and the opportunity for you to get it right if you comprehend that the Spirit is testing your conviction for God wants to know what is your deposition the wilderness is a place for spiritual preparation a trial to see if you're ready for your final destination it's the tip of the iceberg for what God has in mind it's the opening act in the play called God's Kind in the wilderness Satan will try to tempt, sway and seduce in the wilderness you must resist, decide and then deduce so let God use you and give you the daily bread for out of the wilderness the path will always be spirit-led and when you're driven into the wilderness just remember this that it's just a stop gap if you trust in God's promises driven into the wilderness it's time to comprehend that God is the only one who can help you in the end develop a relationship with Jesus Christ believe and stand on His word for the rest of your life for into the wilderness you'll always be driven if you don't accept all the Lord God is giving
