E05 PETER WALKING ON WATER. IS THE STORM HOLDING YOU BACK?

What is holding you back from drawing closer to Yeshua? THE WILDERNESS  The Hebrew word for wilderness is מִדְבָּר midbar, mid-bawr'. What's interesting is that this word comes from the root word, דָבָר dabar; meaning: word, thing. What we call "The Ten Commandments" are not called as such, but in the Hebrew Scriptures; they are called "The Ten Words (Dabarim, words).  The wilderness is where we hear from God.  First... In the wilderness, we are tested (what's in our hearts).  In the wilderness, Egypt is left behind (our appetite for things). In the wilderness, we become exposed and vulnerable (self-sufficiency stripped away).  In the wilderness, what truly matters becomes our priority (God-dependent vs. self-dependent).  And then... In the wilderness, God speaks. In the wilderness, God reveals. In the wilderness, God provides.  In the wilderness, God satisfies. In the wilderness, God is enough. In the wilderness, Hagar was saved; in the wilderness, Moses was visited; in the wilderness, Israel heard; in the wilderness, Yeshua overcame and was strengthened by the heavenly angels.  So next time you are in the wilderness, praise God, praise God, praise God, and say, "Lord, here I am; do with me as you will." May the Lord keep you, strengthen you, and provide you with enough. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.   (Matthew 6:33-34, NASB) Where can we find enough, and be satisfied? Yeshua said: "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."   (Matthew 11:28-30, NASB) LINK TO ALL MY ARTICLES
