This is Why You’re Walking Alone in The Wilderness

Obviously, you will not be alone forever

I. To Spot The Distractions

Your calling comes with distractions. Anybody who has been chosen to be used for good works will have to spend some years alone in the wilderness and these will prove to be the most difficult yet important years of your entire life. These are the years that will make or break you. It will show you what you are made and capable of.

It will be the years where you will have nothing and no one and you will learn to be fully dependent on yourself where you would depend on people. These are the years you will find God.

In the wilderness, your life's purpose will be shown to you and you’ll remember the mission that was assigned to you. The things that are taking your time and attention away from your mission will be ruthlessly taken away.

Each and every one of them.

If it’s a job that makes you stressed and takes all your time, you lose it. If it’s a person that takes your mind off of the work you need to do, they leave you.

You become lonely so you learn to be friends with yourself and come to know the Spirit of God as a companion. You’ll be very frightened and worried at twilight when the eerie sounds are coming from the deep of the wild but you will learn to fear not. You will find a reservoir of peace within you and you will know to tap into it where you are tempted to fear.

When you’re weak and weary, you will face many obstacles and challenges, and also guidance on how to overcome them. Then you'll be empowered.

You will have to survive and thrive without the things you thought you couldn't live without, so you know how really unnecessary they are. After feeling so much peace in the wilderness, you’ll know exactly what you won’t be going back to.

You will go without the things you need the most, so when you get them, you take good care of them.

Life is full of distractions, but they too serve a purpose. They show what you're being distracted from.

II. To Train You For Battle

You will find yourself alone in the wilderness because you carry the light that will light the world. You carry something more valuable than diamonds and gold, and gold and diamonds are never left in plain sight. They’re hidden in a secret place to protect them.

People will see you and see the calling in your life. They will see you and see the oil dripping down from your head and not everybody will have good intentions. Many forces of evil will be out to get you. They will see your light and make it their mission to dim it, but the good universe will not let that happen.

It takes you where no one knows and hides you. You’re hidden from those who seek to cause you harm.

You may be hidden because of the dangers that lurk in the darkness. It may not be the best time for you to step out and begin doing the work you’re being prepared for.

You need to train and be strengthened first.

You must learn how to put on the whole battle armor so that you can stand against the evil schemes of the devil.

In the darkness of the wilderness, you learn to use your light. You’re trained on how to turn it quickly on when the darkness tries to engulf you and also how to turn it off when the enemy is in pursuit.

You are made strong so you can protect yourself and your light when you go back into the world because you will not be alone in the wilderness forever.

You are trained so that when you're caught in a battle in the real world, you can fight and conquer.

III. To Prepare You For Your Mission

“It’s not good for man to be alone, so I will create a suitable partner for him.” Those are God’s words so obviously, he doesn’t want you to go through life alone. Human beings were created for companionship and so relationships, marriages, friendships, and community were instituted, but when you find yourself alone, it's never without purpose.

When you're hidden away and without the things you want, you may see it as deprivation, but it’s actually preparation for the greatest assignments of your life.

You get to know who you truly are and what you are made of. In the quiet of the wilderness, you will remember all the things you agreed to do, and you are equipped to begin your mission.

You'll figure out what you truly need to be fulfilled in life. If marriage is something you need to experience in this lifetime or something you can live without, it will become clear as day.

Many are stuck in marriages and relationships which were never a part of their life’s plan. Others have decided never to marry, but marriage is a very important part of their soul’s journey.

If you have no desire to be married or have kids, you will know without a doubt in the wilderness that it is not part of your soul’s plan for you in this lifetime, and that’s okay, because marriage isn’t for everyone. Don't let society make you feel bad. Trust your soul.

If you have a strong desire to be married, it is God who put that desire in your heart because it is part of the plan for your life. If you weren't supposed to be married at all, you would not have that desire. So trust the process.

Trust the wilderness years and also the path that you’re on. If God has revealed himself to you, trust him. Or her. Or it. Trust that the desires of your heart are known. Delight yourself in the work you've been chosen to do and you will receive the desires of your heart.

Being in the wilderness is difficult, but anyone who is to stand with the strongest of them all must walk in the darkness of it. No matter what you may go through, fear not, because when angels encamp and go before you, you don't step into a pit. They change your steps. No harm will overtake you and no disaster will come near you because archangels are commanded concerning you.

When you're divinely guided and protected at all times, you will not fear the arrows that fly by day, nor the terrors of the night. You’re guarded against all evil eyes and rescued from every evil deed.
