The burning sand will become a pool

"The burning sand will become a pool,

    the thirsty ground bubbling springs.

In the haunts where jackals once lay,

    grass and reeds and papyrus will grow."

ISAIAH 35:7

The Lord places in you a dream - a big dream. It is yours to be had. Jesus spent 40 days in the desert as shall all of God's children. Only we are not in a desert but we exist in this world of daily sin. Do not be tempted - the Lord will hold fast to you. Do not quit - it will be unbearable. The walls will shake and the ground will move but the Lord Jesus holds fast to me. I shall not fail - my Lord will not allow it.

At once the vision is received - the valley of dispair awaits. It is in the valley that the Lord must mold you into his such that his vision can be realized in you. The vision is not for you in your present state but in the state of perfection in the eyes of God through the fire of the Holy Spirit. It is he who decides when you are ready for the task he has planned. This is the valley where patience is pressed in and frustration is worked out. It is in the valley in complete weakness of your mind and body where the Spirit will build you strong. You cannot be molded in a state of resisitance or individual thought. You can only be molded by concentrating on the Lord and his will for you. Choose today for whom you will serve.
