Many times we think that every time we go through a desert time is that the enemy took us there, but today you will realize that the deserts are also allowed by God to forge our lives.

The desert of your test

INF OF THE IMAGE
It was not the tempter, the Devil who took Jesus to the desert, it was the same Spirit, and sometimes people complained saying: Pastor I am going through a desert, eye the problem is not the desert, the problem is the company, and if God took you there, then God will be there with you, because God is with you at all times and in all places.

(Matthew 4: 1b) ... to be tempted by the devil. But like, I took him there for that, so he would be tempted by the Devil (Matthew 4: 2-3) And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And he came to Him, the tempter. Nobody likes to be led into the desert, much less face temptation, but if we want to enjoy His power we must obey His direction.

The Word about the temptations that Jesus faced and overcome in the desert teaches us how to do the same, being Christians, we pray and fast looking for our Faith to increase to see His work in our life, a person receives miracle of healing for his Faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, fasting and prayer are instruments for that Faith to grow and be strengthened.

When you fast you wait for something good to happen and things get fixed, but Jesus had to face the temptation after fasting, you hope that if you fast and pray for your marriage, the last thing you expect is that at the end of the fast, a woman or a man and come to tempt you, making you an indecent proposal.

You say, Pastor I did not expect this after having fasted, I hoped that after fasting, I would go out like walking in the clouds, with the background music of Titanic and that all temptation will go away, is that many times it will come to you life everything that you did not expect.

You put the TV and when they pass a high-tone ad, or in the middle of the novel when they are about to cross the line with the explicit scene that are about to make the protagonists of that scene turn off the TV, which is burn, and you say wow, God is with me, nothing bad happens to me and everything frees me.

You finish the fast and that day you think you will receive the increase and yet you receive your letter in which you were reassigned to another company, they do not know what it is but you will find it, you say Sir this was not what that I was looking for in fasting, we all seek in the fasting of everything unless the devil visits you in your own home

Because the tempter after fasting ?, because the power of God that Jesus Christ received from God after fasting ?, because the Bible says that he returned in the power of the Spirit, you need to have the character to handle it, the temptations are those that we
they help to grow in character, I want to repeat that.

When one is tempted, one can grow in character, so that when one is tested one has to pass the test, the test is not passed with the body, the test is passed in the mind and in the spirit, where strength is needed It is not in the biceps, where strength is needed, it is in the way of thinking and in the way of feeling when one is tested.

During my deserts I have learned that this is where God prepares us for great things, in the deserts there are no brothers or friends to support, only you and God, are times of sadness but it is a sadness for life, the sadness of the world is for death . God allows these trials and challenges because it is time to be promoted, it is time for new spiritual levels. There we learn at the feet of Jesus. God bless you brother
