Prepare the Way

Behold: to gaze, to wonder, to look at “someone or something until something has been grasped of the significance of that person or thing.”

What you BEHOLD, you BECOME.

How do you move beyond the hurry of the season & truly behold the One it’s all about?

How do you worship the King?

PREPARE THE WAY

A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

Isaiah 40:3-5

• Wilderness: God wants to meet you in the LONELY PLACE.
  • The Wilderness of LONELINESS.
  • The Wilderness of REJECTION.
  • The Wilderness of ANXIETY.
  • The Wilderness of UNCERTAINTY.
  • The Wilderness of DISTRACTION.
  • The Wilderness of LOSS.

• Preparation: You must intentionally MAKE ROOM for the King.

The more SPACE you make for God, the more He FILLS your life.

How do you make room for Jesus in a crowded life?

Prepare: to make ready or suitable; equip in advance for a particular purpose.

1. To LOOK: to perceive with attention.
2. To REMOVE: to get rid of or take something away.
3. To TURN: to direct one’s attention or trust towards something.

What in your life needs to go?

What’s blocking God from moving in your life right now?

• Expectation: You’ve only SCRATCHED the SURFACE of what God has for you.

And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together.

Do you expect God to show up in your life?
