***************************************************************************
When in disobedience, one can forfeit so much. It’s a wonder why I lived majority of my life in disobedience and still managed to stay in God’s good graces. When I finally decided to obey God in his entirety (or in diligent pursuit of) he has blessed me so much. My mind is so free now, although it still must be renewed everyday. There is a freedom in God’s will that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. There is a sense of security in God’s will that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. There is a love in God’s will that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
Isolation...
How amazing it is to hear God for yourself! To isolate one's self from all outside noise resorting to a place of total seclusion... When God calls you to excellence it is important that you separate yourself from the world and the things of it; pulling yourself above the natural and indulging in the things of the supernatural. God is such an awesome wonder and in our attempts to explain his mysteries, we often limit his power.
The power of isolation...
How often do you see God giving great and powerful revelations to people in the midst of a crowd?  Not too often! To show Ezekiel his "wheel" he isolated him and to show him the "valley of dry bones" he isolated him. To deliver the commandments of God to the children of Israel, God took Moses out on a mountain alone. Before Jesus was crucified, God ministered to his own son in in the garden of Gathsemane in isolation. That is why in isolation, the enemy is sooo busy.
When one is secluded, cut off from all distractions, it is much easier to discern God's voice. Heck...you only have three to choose from...your's, God's, and Satan's. That's much better than having to choose from the voice of God, Satan's, your's, Sally's, John's, Sue's, Pastor Mike's, Timmy's, Jim Bob's, Dr. LeRoy's and all them other niggas you run to when trouble hits.
You have to learn to listen for and to God on your own. 
A time of preparation is mandatory for all!!
No one is above preparation...if you are still doing the same things you were doing before your deliverance than you were not truly delivered!! You have to believe that this time...it is the real deal. If you were reading your bible, listening to Gospel cds, going to conferences before your deliverance and you are still reading your bible, listening to Gospel cds, going to conferences GOOD FOR YOU...keep up the good works  ! Unfortunately, works alone isn't an indication of true deliverence. No man can look at another and say "He's delivered, but the other is not". However; by the fruits of your labor your work shall be known. If you are not bearing fruit, you are as sounding brass...an empty wagon with raggedy wheels.
God is calling me to isolation... and when I come back, there will be a mighty word from the Lord. (I am confident in this because God has told me so  )

Thank God for choosing me!!! This is the first of many entries from the ApostolicWonder. God is so Good. I know it sounds cliche-ish but it is true! I don't know how I could have gone so long without truely knowing how good he really was to me. I believe that God is about to completely transform my life. I have undergone spiritual surgery and he has began to "cut away" at some of the tumors, fatty deposits, and cysts that had began to fester and grow around my heart. Now, I believe that he is about to take me through a physical change. A change that when I attempted to do it on my own, I failed! Changing my whole outlook on life. | | |
