Out of the Wilderness

Revelation is defined as an act of revealing or communicating divine truth. If we go even further, divine truth is an inspiration proceeding directly from God.
Why do we wander in our own wildernesses? Do we have the power or even the strength to find a way out?
It seems that often times we do not even realize we are in the wilderness! Furthermore, we are often the ones that keep us aimlessly wandering in our own wilderness instead of seeking and finding our way out!
Wilderness is defined as an empty or pathless area or region. Your wilderness can be a number of desert places: Habitual sin; financial overload; being a workaholic; depression; ignoring that health problem; lack of self disciple; a complacent marriage, or the never ending diet. The list goes on and on. Wilderness wandering seems to bring some of its own revelations: lack of motivation; loss of joy in everyday life; resentment in your career or marriage; or being consumed with the bitterness of your own created misery. Does any of these things mentioned sound familiar? Only you can decide if you are in a wilderness. How? The bible states that you have not because you ask not. Prayer is where you start. Ask the father to reveal if you are wandering in your own pathless region! Is there an endeavor or goal you have been striving for but seem to be no closer the longer you work!
You are growing extremely tired and your motivation and will power are nearly nonexistent. Cry out to the Lord on your knees and confess that you need him to help you to finally walk out of your wilderness and to start living in your promise land. There is something extremely powerful in verbally making your requests known to the Father! Of course he already knows every intricate detail of you and your life, so why cry it out loud? For your own clarification! It becomes tangible when it is made verbal. When you outwardly confess what your wilderness is and that you are ready to walk out with his help, you will be absolutely amazed the burden that is lifted from you; physically and spiritually.
Let us learn from the Israelites! They wandered and wandered and did not take the promised land due to fear and lack of faith.
Fear is a powerful emotion that can prevent you from doing and receiving all that God has in store for you. You conquer fear with faith and faith is strengthened the more it is used. Trust in the Lord and his promises!
So in 2019, walk our of your wilderness and into the promise land that God has designed for you!
I can say that this revelation was revealed to me over the past couple of months and I am finally, with the help of the Holy Spirit, walking out of my wilderness. I will leave you with this thought, your time in the wilderness may be to shape and prune you into someone that is ready to fully accept and appreciate your promise land. Trust in the Lord and with his guidance and deliverance your land of milk and honey can be right around the corner!

Happy New Year
Until next time
