The flesh also refers to any activity that is done without God’s involvement. (Transformation workbook, p. 15)

Trying to do things depending on your own wisdom, strength, resources, etc. Just plotting, scheming, and bragging about what YOU can do. It’s a slippery slope towards becoming a power-hungry, wicked person.

My point is….it’s important to call upon the Lord when making decisions. Take it to the king and lay it at his feet. You may as well, if it’s against His will, it won’t work out anyway.

Should I move to Chicago and give up on GA? Was it a mistake to come here? I thought I was called here for something…that this was a sort of Promised Land. But as soon as I got here, everything melted like a sand castle being washed away. Like an illusion or a mind-trick from “the enemy.” Maybe just me being crazy.

Either way, I don’t want to make another mistake where I can’t tell what Spirit is leading me.

John Bevere did a video series on The Wilderness and at a few parts, he said two things that gave me pause. He said that when the Lord makes you a Promise then leads you into the Wilderness….it can feel like you are so far from the Promise that you’re going in the opposite direction.

I identify enough with what John B. said in this video to not want to prematurely pull myself out of where God wants me to be. No matter what spirit led me here (I still believe it was Holy), God allowed it and has a plan for it. I don’t wanna run away just because things look bleak.

This is a time to show faith and wait.

If I’m in the wilderness, it will end if I stick with it.
