WHY AM I IN THE WILDERNESS?

Deuteronomy 8:2 New King James Version (NKJV) And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart , whether you would keep His commandments or not. Many times throughout my ministry people have asked me why they are in the "wilderness" and as I have always said the answer to your life's question is in the Holy Bible which is the Word of God. So why do we all have times in the wilderness (hard times, sorrow, loss) because as God's word reveals it is for God to know what is in your heart. Secondly, to humble us to draw us back to the Lord so we may align our lives in accordance with the will of Jesus Christ. How is this done? By reading the Holy Bible daily and praying about it with your Father in Heaven. Allow the Holy Spirit to transform your life.

JESUS IS "THAT"

1 John 1:1 New King James Version (NKJV) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— John the Beloved writing to the churches and the world expresses here a dimension most often missed. The first word to start the epistle (letter) is "That" to describe Jesus Christ. John found Jesus so multi-dimensional as a "fully-man fully God" personage that John had a hard time trying to describe Jesus with human language. That is where we at times enter what is called "the mystery of God" in that we at times are limited in understanding fully who Jesus was and is both in the mortal flesh and also across the Veil in Glory. Faith in Jesus helps us move past the mystery to acceptance regardless of not having all the answers to understanding all the dimensions of Jesus.
