    Make Straight the Way

    John 1:19-23 (key verse is 23) And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.”...

    From the Desert to Springs

    Isaiah 40:3-5 ESV A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the...

    Joshua's Visit To A Mountain.

    Has anyone noticed that Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness to be tempted has a parallel. Jesus' anglicized Hebrew name is Joshua and in the OT there is a famous Joshua. This Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan as well as a few other deeds. Exo 24:13 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and...

    Former Baptist minister here. Spent a decade in the wilderness. Much has changed, but God preserved me through it all. I'm here to gain insights, participate in discussions, and to find friends. It's hard to talk to people around me about the spiritual life. Thanks! Jason

    Battle Strategy: Thankfulness

    Imagine if you will a wagon with a driver being pulled by two horses. The two horses are your mind and your emotions. The driver is your will and the cart is your body. The two horses, your mind and emotions, will take your body, the cart, wherever your will, the driver, wants to go. Simple...

    Definition Of Wilderness

    When we started on our journey in 2007 we had a vague idea of what a wilderness season in God meant. We had read many of the Christian classics, Tozer, Guyon, John of the Cross, Thomas a Kempis, Theresa of Avila and others describing wilderness seasons. From there we learned a little about what...

    Healing

    We are all in the wilderness bitten by spirit snakes-our only hope is to gaze at the one sinless lamb sacrificed on a tree who took upon himself all the venom of our sins and became the brazen serpent of old, in order for us to be healed 8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a bronze snake, and put...
