                      Meet Me at the Oasis

Because you have been faithful in your sojourn in the wilderness, 
because you have recognized THIS TIME, that this is a test and not a 
punishment, that this is a time of preparation, it is a time of being 
made ready for promotion in My Kingdom. Because those who have been 
found faithful with little shall be given more to administer. Because 
you have not succumbed to despair in this season but have understood the 
greater good that awaits you, and the new depth of intimacy with Me that 
will be your well deserved reward. 

I would encourage you by opening your eyes to what I have provided for you 
in the wilderness. It is NOT My desire to have you standing still in the 
dry season looking around at the relentless expanse of wind swept desert. 
But to look up to Me for I am not far away from you, I am with you, and I 
am watching you closely to see your perseverance to keep moving on, placing 
one foot in front of the other, and also to see your thirst for Me magnified 
and your hunger and passion for Me unbridled! I want you My Children to 
look forward to what is over the next vista of desert scenery. 

For I have provided for you a fertile oasis to rest and and be refreshed in 
this time, I will provide everything that is needed for you, the living 
waters of My Spirit, the shade of the palms, that you may gain strength 
from the nourishment you receive there to continue on to the next leg of the 
journey. And this is not a mirage I would say, it can be trusted, for I 
would not mislead you whom I have brought so far.

So do not lose heart dear ones, it is not My intention to leave you 
forever in the wilderness, but do not resist Me during this time for I
am equipping you and your dependence on Me is being strengthened.
