Amen Desert is HOLY Place First I saw Desert It is scary, anxious And looks sad seeing it empty But when I experience To stay days or weeks in the desert In Middle east living in tent or barge house Even there were times sand storm is When seeing people celebrate life and kids plays I see Desert was A HOLY place I see GOD in the desert He speak real in the Desert I miss those days in the Desert In Saudi Arabia GOD exist even in Desert places Even it is a Desert owned by Muslims no Church Not allowed JESUS NAME In those Days HE is with ME A critical life in A KIngdom of SAUDI And GOD is With Me saving me from sitiations I cant explain well but HE sees all and ALL... I know Jesus loves this Muslim people because some of Them respect those are called other religions but some treat their own people same other countries too the slavery and abuse is Real..THE spirit of adversary is anywhere.. Understanding others Faith must be openminded because what they believe protects what was GOD doesnt want which worshipping pagan or false gods, and when involves praying to GOD for most is MUST and some are Truly dedicated to GOD and praying is Holy to most Muslims I saw.. Whether they are ordinary person or a Prince or Princess.. What I see Is solemnity in the presence of GOD whether inside Or ourside their Mosques, or even in the Desert but not all are sincere after praying which all religion was doing that seeing it all I could say only to the LORD only because HE is the one who sees Faith in the Heart of MAN. HE knew the plead and cries of people mistreated or abuse and it is not about religion its all about the society people we live in under control of Evil spirited body whatever religion is or Nationality.. Only JESUS teachings about the true character What GOD is to His people and can change the demand of LAW of Old testament,.Grace and Mercy is His reply against all of this that confuse, fear and divide MAN. GOD is not a religion, race, color, nationality, building, status and property.. GOD is for all Nations as He promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel) GOD bless

pray for me please.

[@elizabethiloveelohim137]

Shalom, yes please. I'm trying to follow Yehoshua Meshiach and am surrounded by people who call me a Jew and hate me following Him. Pray I will not take my eyes off Yehoshua and will always trust that His grace is enough , because it is. Pray also that God will place a longing for Yehoshua in every heart, especially in those so against Him, in the kadosh Ha Shem Yehoshua Ha Meshiach. I pray Yehovah will guard your hearts and minds in Yehoshua by the mighty power of His Ruach Kadosh so nothing tempts you away from Him in the kodosh Ha Shem Yehoshua Ha Meshiach

The desert... conjures up emptiness and that is sometimes the place we face, alone, deserted, without hope, BUT God/Yahweh 💗 uses this place, without distractions, to speak and guide you, or to draw you back to Himself. For you to depend on Him for your daily/hourly needs without distractions.... a 'personal time' between you and our Heavenly Father, spending time reading His Word so that you might learn of Him, Who He is, what are His attributes, what fellowship with Him, talking with Him, laying your worries at His feet with assurance that He will NEVER LEAVE YOU, that He is where our Help comes from... you'll be amazed at how quickly you may hear from Him (through bible passages, sermons etc..)... deepening your relationship with Yahweh Elohim/Almighty GOD. Unless you make time, you will never learn anything about anyone, if you didn't put in the time and effort you wouldn't know and care for or love a person or them loving or care for you ... this is how we grow to love Him, because it isn't something that comes naturally to us. I know and am comforted and encouraged every day by His response. ... and pray that you will experience and be blessed with peace and love of our Amazing Father.🤗🙌🙏💖💞

[@kaylamariesprague]

Stunning perspective. Thank you for taking the time to reflect and share this with us! We are so grateful that God speaks to us... even in the midst of the desert.

[@WALKTHEWALK-nj3oi]

Oh wow, this really spoke to my heart. I have often thought and meditated on the life of Moses on the backside of the desert for 40 years. Moses received his academic training in Egypt (Literacy skills and military training). but that couldn't prepare him for the rough life of leading a couple of million people through the desert for 40 years. What a real life education Moses received in that desert to prepare his people to handle the desert's life-style, relying on the Lord for 40 years.

[@pieterwagener1537]

The. metaphors in the Bible are extremely powerful and speaks of our own inner landscape

[@michaelmistretta1961]

So happy to get to produce these amazing videos with friends and go on this journey together!

[@kaylamariesprague]

Grateful for your leadership, humility, and example! What an adventure to do this together! So grateful.

[@Greggs.Channel]

I suffer from clinical depression and prayed to God for respite. Then I played your video and it helped me understand being in the wilderness in a positive light. Thank you.

[@kaylamariesprague]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I know it takes courage and as someone who faces depression myself, I am SO proud of you for staying and continuing and pressing through. God cares about you so much! We can't wait to release more videos for you. Praying for you, friend!

[@The1ShyButterfly]

And I would like to add, I love that you are teaching/expounding on the Hebrewic meanings so that us Westerners get a deeper, richer understanding of the Bible 🙌 I personally love my Messianic bible and for years have researched through the Hebrew and Greek meanings and culture and customs, and have shared it with others ... with varying responses, some were grateful and appreciated a deeper understanding, while others dispute because the rely on Western translations and paraphrased Bibles. My heartjumps for joy every time I hear or read the Lord's names (Yahweh and Yahshua) because Yahweh told Moses in Exodus 3:15, when Moses asked 'God' who he should say He what His Name is, YHWH, I AM WHO I AM... and was instructed that His Name, Yahweh (I AM) is to be remembered from generation to generation. So now everyone I know, knows that the God I love, serve and follow, is not just 'God' (which is His role), but His Name is Yahweh, not allah or other so called gods, but Yahweh Elohim. It's also comforting when I hear people using god's /Jesus' name in vain, because I know they don't know WHO they are speaking about ... though I still cringe but am relieved that they are not using His HOLY name. Sorry, I just felt the need to share that 🤗 Blessings to all our brothers and sisters 🤗🙌🙏💖💗 and Blessings to to and your ministry 🤗💖💞💝

[@kaylamariesprague]

Wow! What a beautiful perspective. I absolutely love your heart for the Lord and the way that you want to get to the roots and see the entire context in which the scripture was written. That is EXACLY what we want to make accessible and really interesting in these videos. Thank you for taking the time to watch and reply. It truly means so much to us.

[@elizabethiloveelohim137]

Shalom, the emptying of self is like the wilderness and it is where we hear God's voice more clearly

[@cryong]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this inspiring truth. Our Shepherd is so close to us, He can’t come any closer, to minister, and be intimate with us.

[@doughurley489]

Dave Adamson is the best guide to take you through God in Israel. I spent 10 days with him there, but now I get to watch it with my family at home on the laptop in five minutes. Thank you Aussie Dave!

[@IsraelU]

We love Aussie Dave!

[@kaylamariesprague]

I agree! Dave is the BEST. We can't wait for more adventures!

[@jodimeola7269]

I’m in the hardest season of my life and Monday the word desert dominated the day. Everywhere I went it showed up. This video affirms for me what it all means. I had no idea the depth of the word but now it absolutely matches what I’ve been waking through the past 8 months and the closeness of the Lord! Thank you for putting this together. Beautiful.

[@mrdasilver]

This seriously needs to be translated to other languages. I'd love to share this video with friends who aren't English speakers. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@kaylamariesprague]

Wow! This is so encouraging! Great idea! Maybe down the road we will be able to do that. Really grateful for you feedback and the time you took to write us. Thank you!

[@viktoriatan2070]

This is the second video I watch from your channel. It’s like spiritual food for me. Thank you guys for going deep . Going deep into the root word and Hebrew word to explain it with simplicity. When you go deep, you make me see the goodness of God & the heart of God. I’m in awe of God’s heart. Thank you and please continue to share with us as the Holy Spirit leads and speaks to you guys! Love from Singapore❤️

I think the beauty of the wilderness is when you discover God can satisfy your thirst there. He can even turn a barren desert into the Garden of Eden. Isaiah 35 and Psalm 63 paint a beautiful picture of that. Thank you for this wonderful video. It helped place my thoughts on God where they should be.

[@kaylamariesprague]

Amen, Edward! Thank you for watching and responding to MULTIPLE videos. That means so much to us and we love that it was so encouraging to you! Yes, God can satisfy our souls!
