There are things you’ll never do spiritually because you are not confident in His love and commitment toward you: Sacrifices you’ll never make. Prayers you’ll never pray. Risks you’ll never take.

The reason you are weak in your ability to say no to sin is that you are weak in your understanding of Jesus‘ “yes” toward you.

Orphan vs. sonship.

John 14:1-3
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Add Notes
An orphan says “Hey, maybe God doesn’t accept me.”
He reminds you, “I didn’t accept you. I chose you.”
An orphan sees God as a Master.
A son sees God as a loving father.
An orphan feels insecure and lacks peace.
A son is at rest and in peace.
An orphan has to be holy for God to love him.
A son wants to be holy to have a right relationship with God.
Add Notes
We will become slaves to either the world or religion if our revelation of God as a good Master doesn’t mature into a revelation of God as a good Father.

And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Add Notes
Believe the testimony, abide in God’s love.

The Lord has been using the wilderness for thousands of years as a place of accelerated growth and mentoring. Leaders are equipped and transition from where they are to where God is calling them. In this time of refining preparation, there are traits and experiences that need to be instilled in us before we can lead well.
Many Biblical leaders spent formative time in the wilderness, resulting in a greater understanding of their Identity, Mission, and Source. Begin your journey August 17th - 27th 2023 on a ten-day trip in the wilds of "The Winds Wilderness Area".
