Some Purpose of....... the 'Place of Desolation....' The Valley ( or 'desert')

If you have an important message to convey to someone, what is the best means of getting the message through....?

Have you ever tried to talk with someone who was so busy you could not get him to hear you?
Distractions prevent us from giving our undivided attention to the messenger....
So too, God has His way of taking us aside to get our undivided attention.
* For Paul, it was Arabia for three years;
* for Moses, it was 40 years in the desert;
* for Joseph, it was 13 years in Egypt;
* for David, it was many years of fleeing from King Saul.

God knows the stubborn human heart. 

Fear not the dessert, for it is here you will hear God's voice like never before. ...!

He knows that if He is to accomplish His deepest work, He must take us 'into the desert' in order to give us the privilege to be used in His Kingdom.
-In the 'desert' God changes us and removes things that hinder us.
-He forces us to draw deep upon His Grace.
[The desert is ONLY a season in our life.....]
-When He has accomplished what He wants in our lives in the desert, He will bring us out.
-He has given us a mission to fulfill that can only be fulfilled after we have spent adequate time in preparation in the desert.

*Fear not the dessert, for it is here you will hear God's voice like never before.
*It is here you become His 'bride'.
*It is here you will have the idols of your life removed.
* It is here you begin to experience the reality of a living God like never before....


God has called each of us to a purpose greater than ourselves. 
Know that it will require death before life can be given to this purpose. 
It must be His' Life that lives (in us), -not ours...........
 Someone once said, "God uses enlarged trials to produce enlarged saints so He can put them in enlarged places!"
 He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me          (2 Samuel 22:20).
Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. - Hosea 2:14

May YOU have the encounter(S) with GOD, that I had, that would change your 'paradigm in life' to the extent that God would become an undeniable 'Beloved Companion' 24/7, independent of your circumstance, or situations of having a 'raw deal' , -that might be presently part of your Life....! 

Shalom
