Mike emphasizes the importance of recognizing and engaging with the wave of God's Spirit moving among the congregation, particularly in times of struggle or desert-like seasons. He highlights how Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, demonstrating that hard seasons can lead to divine encounters and affirmations of our identity as beloved children of God. Mike calls on the congregation to release any negative spirits such as lukewarmness, control, and cynicism, and to embrace the Rhema word of God—the specific, life-giving messages that provide strength and guidance in our deserts. The sermon encourages fellowship and prayer, inviting members to support one another and to experience the healing and transformative power of God's word together.
