We are entering a time right now where we will see many miracles from God to restore and bless us so that we can be whole and have more than enough to help others with. Those of us that have been in the Wilderness for a long time have kind of "survived" their way through it, and been kept at a very restricted level of finances, grace, and ministry because we have been in a state of preparation and transformation. A caterpillar's only job in a cocoon is to change and survive the process. You'll notice that the Israelites in the first wilderness really didn't have any real responsibility except to; 1. Get to know the Lord, 2. Get to know themselves, and 3. To learn to repent and do only what God was leading them to do. When the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire moved, they packed up camp and moved with it. We also have been doing this same things for years now and many of us have kind of just settled now. Like Moses after forty years of preparation in Midian, many of us are about to see God's burning bush that will contain fresh direction to commission us into our calling for this revival, and harvest of souls.

Like Joseph in prison, we have done our best to just kind of get through it and look for a way out (Gen Ch's. 40, 41). When Joseph interpreted the dreams of the Baker and Cup Bearer, he asked the Cupbearer to remember him and help him to get out of the prison, once he was restored to Pharaoh, but he forgot him. It sais that "the vision tested Joseph" and I'm sure your vision has tested you. God has used our gifts periodically during our Wilderness, and showed us some possible ministry doors, or ways that it looked like might be our door out of the Wilderness, only to find it was kind of a false start and we then faced more time of preparation. It can be easy to think we are ready to go forward, but God knows when we are really ready. He also knows that we just have to keep our eyes and focus on Him, and on the areas of growth that we need to be working on, rather than "Oh God, get me out of this Wilderness!".

We are entering springtime right now, and although it may seem like your life is pretty dead, God is going to bring you into a "spiritual springtime" as well. He is going to create new life in you from what feels totally dead. But He needs to first clear the way, for the miracles that you need. We must finish the last areas of change that He wants in us. It is time for one last push to have this spiritual baby you have been pregnant with for so long. We don't focus on the miracles, we focus on God and what He wants us to do to serve others. He just wants a stable foundation in you to build high upon, no more cracks of sin, or character flaws that can cause the foundation to fail once you put weight on it. He has plans to build very high upon the foundation He has built in you. And like Joseph, you will be greatly used to help feed many people in every way, as we go forward into our time of plenty, to bring in this great harvest of souls. We will walk in complete holiness and obedience, and we will overcome in every way.

Another thing we have to do to prepare the way for miracles is to forgive those we have been bitter with. You might say "Well, when they apologize, then maybe I will consider it". Perhaps you feel like you are the one who always has to apologize, and they always get let off the hook. When you are a leader, you have to be willing to do what other people aren't willing to do. Plus God works with the willing. How can God bless and forgive you, when you won't bless and forgive others? I have had to forgive someone recently that did things to me and my family when I was younger that were absolutely atrocious. They never apologized for anything, so I just finally wrote them off. God reminded me recently that this unforgiveness would block His miracles and my relationship with Him. So I prayed by faith as the Lord led me and forgave this person, and I have left it in God's hands to deal with them. There was no big emotion involved, I just did it to be obedient. Your job, is to let the Holy Spirit show you, what and who you need to forgive, and just pray by faith to forgive them even though you feel like you might hate them.

Trust God, that as you pray to forgive, and as you obediently deal with the last areas that need to change in your life, that God will do the rest. Obedience is not about how you feel, it's about just doing it. Many times, obedience may mean doing things that you absolutely do not want or feel like doing. If God sais that it's time to forgive and repent, then you must just do it by faith and understand that that is the key to going forward, and healing your relationship with Him. We don't focus on the miracles, we focus on obeying the Lord and having a right relationship with Him. Get ready to finally see those promises you have been hanging onto for so many years finally fulfilled. God just needed to prepare you for the responsibility that comes with His blessing. We don't throw our carkey's to kids, and neither does God. As many people as you can help, you can also hurt. We need to grow up before we are given much. Here is a prayer to pray to help you to go forward. Get ready for new life and many wonderful miracles.

"Lord God, please forgive me for holding onto my bitterness, unforgiveness, and resentment toward _________. I just forgive __________ right now by faith and I release them from the prison I have kept them in, in my heart. I ask God that you would bless __________ and help them to serve you wholeheartedly. God, I don't want there to be anything between you and I blocking our relationship, or your blessing on my life. Thank you God, for helping to clear the way for the miracles you want to do in my life that will help many. I love you Lord, and I release all things into your capable hands. help me to leave these people, and my old sin habits, in your hands for good now, and not to ever pick them up again. In Jesus name I pray, amen."
