At The Back of The Mountain-In The Desert

Matthew 4 Exodus 3:1 Immediately after his Baptism in the River Jordan, Jesus is led by the spirit of God into the Desert. This is very critical because when God spoke of Jesus as his only begotten son, this made Jssus a potential target of elimination by the enemies of God. Hence inorder to preserve, protect and save Jesus for his appointed day and time, God had to take Jesus in the wilderness or the desert. Both the wilderness and the desert are designated places of alone. But Jesus was not alone in the desert but he was rather witj the spirit of the leaving God. He was in the desert with the spirit of God being fully engaged in both divine intercourse and divine discourse. Moses the great prophet who was used of God to deliver and redeem the sons of Jacob out of bondage in Egypt, was found running away from Egypt to the back of the mountain in the desert/wilderness. Moses was running away from a people that he deemed a threat to his life. After having killed someone , who was an enemy of the people of God, he well knew that the enemies of God would look for him and kill him. Thus to save, protect and preserve his life till his appointed time and day , Moses had to be led at the back of the mountain into the desert. Both casual and natural observers of the life of Moses saw a man behind the back of the desert. Being interfaced by the surface of the mountain and they deduced that Moses was going through hardship, darkness and roughness. However there is something else that escaped the natural eyes of human observation. And that is, while at the back of the mountain in the dersert Moses was having an encounter with the living God. An encounter that was designed by God so that Moses would experience a divine intercourse and a divine discourse from the living Gof Almighty. The resulting effect of this unique encounter at the back of the mountain in the desert would eventually turn Moses into a burnimg bush fire. A fire that would burn and destroy those who are enemies of Moses. Infact the enemies of Moses after his encounter with God Were able to watch moses but unable to destroy him. And if they ever dared to destroy him God would strike destruction unto the enemies of Moses. Its possible that you have been removed from a place of comfort and now you find urself in a place of alone. Life has now become rough, dark and hard but there is something else taking place amidst all the rough, dark and hard experiences of your life. What is taking place is that you are having an encounter with living God Almighty. This encounter has been orchestrated by God for you to have divine intercourse and divine discourse with God Almighty. This encounter is fundamental to your divinely appointed time because after this encounter your enemies will not be able to touch you , and if they try to touch you then they will be destroyef of God Almighty. It’s true, that you feel alone but that which you define as alone is the very presence of God. Many times than not when God is gettting ready to show up in your life in order for you to have a divine intercourse and a divine discourse with him, God will remove people away from your life. So that there can be some sort of privacy and intimacy that can only endure when its just you and God Almighty Himself. Leading you at the back of the mountain in the desert will introduce you to a rough, hwrd and dark season in your life. When this occurs many people will desert you and talk ill about you because they think you done and dusted. But its all part of God’s divine plan to turn you into a consuming fire against the enemies of God and the enemies for life of you. When Jesus eventually walks away from the desert/ wilderness , Jesus does so in the power of the holy spirit. Performing mighty signs, wonders and miracles. The devil had failed miserably to defeat Jesus and years later when the devil tried to strike Jesus with death , Jesus destoyer death by rising up from the dead. Further more when Moses comes from the back of the mountain in the desert. Moses emerges in the power of the spirit of God and encounters the enemies of God with signs, wonders and miracles. The pharoah had the power to touch moses but he would not and when he attempted to forcefully touch moses and the people of God , the Pharoah was destroyed in the Redsea. Its undoubtedly that you have a rough, dark and hard season in your life. But this season has been designed for you to have divine intercourse and discourse. And you will eventually come out of this season in the power of the spirit of God. The enemies of your life will not be able to touch you and if they try God will destroy them. On the very face of things , while moses is looking after the flock of Jethro in a desert . Its seems and appears as though Moses is going through hardship, roughness and darkness. Howevet at the back of everything Moses is having an encounter with God. An encounter for divine discourse and intercourse. And at the end of this very encounter Moses is able to walk away in the remdemption and deliverance of God. Jesus is ij the wilderness and he fasting 40 days and nights , and after all of that he walks away from the wilderness with the power to redeem and to deliver. Everyone around you can only seem to see what appears as though is hardship, roughness and darkness in your life. But the people around you donot see what is at the very back of the hardship, roughness and darkness that you are enduring. Behind the face of the darkness, roughness and hardship that you are facing is an encounter with God designed for you to have a divine discourse and intercourse with God. The end of this experince will bring you redemption and delivetance from God Almight. With no doubt you are going to walk in redemption and in the deliverance of the Almighty God. Demonic forces will tremble at both your voice and at your presence. Demonic systems will crumble down at your voice and at your presence. A people who did not know the joy of the lord will come to the knowledge and understanding of the joy of the Lord. And in unison they will say, “this joy that i have the world did not give and the world cant take away”. God is about to give you some things that the world cannot give you. They cant give it to you and they cant take it away. Infact the world will not believe what God is about to give to you. They will ask how is it possible for you to own such things. And you will respond ,”with God all things are possible.” The moment God declares that Jesus is his begotten son , thr spirit of God has got to whisk Jesus away to the wildeeness-to a place the enemies of God cannot touch Jesus. This so because the divine declaration upon the life of Jesus in the event of his baptism pitched and marked him as an enemy target. There is a divine declaration of God upon your precious life and God had to whisk you away into the desert behind the back of the mountain to preserve you for such a time to come. The reason why the enemy cannot touch you is in regards to the fact you have been whisked into the desert by the spirit of the living God. Soon you will come out of it in the power of redemption and deliverance. To deliver and redeem the people of God out of the dungeons of despair. The enemy wanted to cut you off because you are the supply chain of redemption and deliverance unto so many called the people of God.
