One of the challenges of the wilderness is that we feel like we are walking alone, that no one else is going through what we are going through and that there is no end to this season. One of the joys of coming out of the wilderness is realizing others went through the same thing you did, others are rising simultaneously with you, and others were prepared just like you were but maybe for something different than you are doing. The enemy loves to make us believe we are alone, but God is doing as much in the wilderness as He is in the promised land. Each season has its benefits, even though in the wilderness they are concealed and in the promised land they are revealed.
On this side of the wilderness, what is fascinating to me is how many people are hungry for the truth of the gospel of the kingdom, who are longing to be discipled, who are tired of religious rhetoric, who truly want kingdom reality. Men who sat passive in church or who didn’t attend at all are hungry for the truth the kingdom message is proclaiming. Women who have been under a weight of care are finding freedom in the air. The word God has done in the secret place of all our lives is manifesting in the public place.
I remember somewhere someone said, when the student is ready to learn the teacher will be revealed. Teachers were prepared in the wilderness, learners were prepared in the wilderness, and now we are seeing God move in powerful ways as truth is setting us all free. Jesus is the head of His body, we as believers in Jesus are His body. There is no seperation between the head and the body, but the body is finally hearing clearly what the Head, Jesus, is saying to His body the church. When they hear the truth coming from the head, Jesus, through His messengers, the body is coming alive. If you haven’t experienced it yet, get ready this revelation revolution is about to go public in a massive way and the truth will set us free!!!!
