We must come to the realization that any and everything contrary to God’s word. That pulls us away from him, causing us to walk in step with darkness and live in temptation. Will result in condemnation and will end in death. Which is why, in order for us to overcome evil and to be more than conquers in Christ Jesus, we must learn what, “It is written,” means and how to live by it.

Rebellion is a heart issue, that creeps into our minds allowing us to live in false realities; while knowing God's truth yet denying it and going against it at the same time.  Rebellion can be associated with complaining, un-forgiveness, and all ungodly activity. For James 4:17 tells us, “So it is sin to know the good and yet not do it.”

The wilderness is a season every human being will face at some point within their lives. It can be uncomfortable, it can be frustrating, it can be tiring, yet if we just focus on the hardship within our season in the wilderness. We can miss the opportunity of maturing and growing closer to God, which allows us to learn from our sins, by repenting and living faithful and standing firm in the faith. However, if we don’t learn from the lessons the wilderness teaches us, we are only left to repeat the cycles of sin over and over again living in bondage. So in part one of the series entitled, “The Wilderness,” I’ll discuss complaining and how practicing those habits can develop patterns within us, that are ungodly.  Which can cause us to lose sight of Gods faithfulness and promises he’s given us.

When it comes to patience many of us have various notions as to what that means within our lives, especially when we are all going through different seasons.  Regardless, of what we are having to be patient about, we must understand that the Lord is doing things behind the scenes on our behalf that are for our good and not for our harm. Which means, in order for us to remain patient in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it is going to require faith in him to know that God, is going to do what he said he’s going to do. It is going to require self-control from within us, to believe and not doubt, and to grow in Jesus Christ, throughout the process of waiting understanding that our patience will allow us to not lack anything.

2 Peter 3:8-9

Living spiritually lukewarm, allows us to fool ourselves in to thinking we will inherit God’s Kingdom.  Although, the bible depicts that living this way is very dangerous and ungodly, because God, cannot be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows and those that live this way will not inherit his Kingdom. However, only those that repent and trust in the Lord will be known as citizens of Heaven. For 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

When we admit our burdens and give them to God.  We’re basically, humbling ourselves before him knowing that God, alone is able to help us. In doing so we pick up the ultimate blessing which is Jesus Christ, and we begin to dwell on his promises and not our burdens.
