The forty days passed slowly in the desert, but each day Jesus prayed and prepared for the enemies attack.  After Jesus had been tested in the wilderness, He came out in the power of the spirit. He was the true Israel and unlike natural Israel, He chose to live by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.   Increased power and blessing followed His passing the test in the wilderness. After Paul had learned to humble himself before God in the desert for many years,  he came out with the greatest revelations of  God any man had ever had.  He learned to collect “Manna” he’d never seen before; things about God he could have never imagined, things about grace, things about the gentiles he never has seen before, till he could say “Everything I thought I knew before, is just dung.”

He was humbled and tested to see whether he would “collect” and obey Gods new manna and was given the honor of penning revelations that brought light to the whole world.

God’s blessing still follows obedience.  It is the test that makes you a testimony.  God’s supernatural life is on the other side of your wilderness test.  He just wants to do you good. That’s what a father wants; for His children to be blessed in the end.

Friend, we can't change our test but we can change our perspective.  We can't change having to go through the wilderness but we can change how we look at it.  Our perspective should be that God only tests us to do us good in the end, and our best days are just beyond the word we obey.  Our breakthrough and blessing are just after the next test we pass.
