The Wilderness - Mark 1:12-13

Mark 1:12-13 ESV 


The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.



The believer enters the wilderness only after receiving the Holy Spirit, as did Jesus when He rose from the baptism water. 


We grow in spirit and maturity in Christ until the day we leave this body of flesh. Our time in the wilderness is our time on earth. 


The wilderness of our journey becomes our world of the flesh. This is the world we must conquer and overcome. We become more than conquerors because we become sons and daughters of the living God.
