Lessons From the Wilderness

THE WILDERNESS IS A PLACE OF REFINEMENT AND DEATH. WHEN GOD LEADS HIS CHILDREN INTO THIS PROCESS, IT IS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SHAPING THEM IN HIS IMAGE. HE USES THE PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE TO EXPOSE AND PURGE UNGODLY AND FLAWED BELIEFS. HE REPRIORITIZES THE BELIEVER'S LIFE FOCUS AND EXPOSES CATASTROPHIC FOUNDATIONAL DEFECTS. IF THE LORD ALLOWS HIS CHILDREN TO BUILD ON SUCH A FOUNDATION, EVERYTHING WOULD CRUMBLE AND FACE DESTRUCTION. SOMETIMES HE WILL ALLOW US TO HELPLESSLY WITNESS THE CONTROLLED DEMOLITION OF WHAT WAS BUILT THROUGH SELFISH AMBITION. FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BELONG TO GOD, THOSE WHO TRULY WANT TO BE HIS, HE WILL PROCESS YOU THROUGH WHATEVER MEANS HE SEES FIT. THESE REAL-LIFE LESSONS ARE PRESENTED HERE IN AN E-BOOK STORY FORMAT TO HELP CAPTURE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY. IT IS A TERRIBLE, PAINFUL, GRINDING, LONELY, YET EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. YOU WILL BEG FOR YOUR WILDERNESS JOURNEY TO BE COMPLETED WHILE GOING THROUGH THIS BARREN LAND. BUT ONCE IT IS OVER, YOU WILL LOOK BACK ON IT WITH A STRANGE AFFECTION. IF THE LORD IS WALKING YOU THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, IT IS TO PREPARE YOU TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE, HIS WAY.
