The Lord has brought us out of the kingdom of darkness with a mighty out stretched hand. Now we are being proved to see if we will obey the voice of The Lord in this pilgrimage to heaven.
Isaiah 63:4, 64:412
It is a battle between the old nature of the flesh and the new creature born now of the Holy Spirit. One must be willing to yield our will to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Only way to make it to heaven is to obey the voice of the Lord. Those who are led by The Holy Spirit are the children of God. The wilderness is the proven ground.
The Lord is proving us this pilgrimage to the promised land.
