In Mark 1:12 it says, the Spirit compelled Him. That's Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus. The Spirit compelled Him to the wilderness. People preach that God always leads us to earthly blessing, and if we are in the wilderness, something is wrong. Maybe, we don't have enough faith, or we're in sin. Just because you are in the wilderness, it doesn't mean that you are not in the Spirit. It might be the Spirit Himself who took you there. We need the wilderness, the hard times, the times without, so that God can do a greater work. Messiah was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. He was led there not because He was out of God's will, but because He was right in the center of God's will. God has a plan. Are you being tested? Praise Him, glorify Him, obey Him, just like Messiah did. The Spirit led you in that place. The same Spirit will lead you out when God's purposes have been accomplished; then you will be ready to take on the mantle of your greater calling.
From Message #41 - The Wilderness
No matter what you go through today, in everything, seek to hear His voice, find your mission, and follow His leading - to victory.
