Due to some of my past insecurities, just like some of you, I leaned heavily on others for hope, encouragement, and strength. In those seasons it was necessary and allowed by the Lord.

 

However, there came a season where like Joseph I was stripped of all human help. Near and far.

 

It had to be a season of intense training with God alone.

 

I would not be allowed to return to old doors in many varying ways. Jesus was clear about His jealousy for me in the wilderness season. He assured me I would survive and reminded me that He, too, was isolated in a wilderness out of necessity.

 

Some of you have been through, or are going through, such a season.

 

Cling to Jesus.

 

He must become the only authoritative voice-over you. If your heart is divided in your loyalty to Him, He will make adjustments to deepen your walk.

 

Today, I received yet another word of a flying season. Where only He would be the pilot. For the lands which I’ve been called are often islands of isolation, so I might pen His heart for coming others in need. In this, I feel a bit of kinship with the many in the scriptures who also endured alone seasons.

 

Are you found in an isolating period, friends? A beautiful island whereby He, alone, will be your ocean and sky? Where no other human has your heart as much as He does?

 

Have you noticed an atmospheric shift that resounds of winds of change?

 

Me too.

 

I’ve learned seasons come and seasons go. I have zero control over any of them.

 

Whatever you are white-knuckling, let it go.

 

He is calling you to Himself, and it will not disappoint. Rather, it will prepare you for a new season of new assignments.

 

The island will be uniquely made just for you and Him. Can you hear Him whisper as you read…?

 

“Come away with Me, beloved, where your dependence is on Me alone…”
