Excerpt from Brian Simmons’ new book:

The Most Amazing Song of All!

Chapter 2:3-7

³My Beloved is to me

As the finest, fragrant Apple Tree—

He stands above all the other trees of the forest,

Above all the other anointed ones,

For there is no one like Him!

I love sitting under His grace-shadow.

With great delight I dwell here

Enjoying the sweet taste

Of His pleasant and delicious fruit.

What bliss is this!

⁴Suddenly, He transported me to His House of Wine—

My eyes open to see His unfurled banner of victory!

It’s His unrelenting love

Written upon the flag flying over my heart!

I’m overwhelmed and undone!

⁵Revive me with Your goblet of wine

And refresh me again with Your sweet promises!

Help me and hold me for I am love-sick!

I’m longing for more—

Yet how could I take more?

⁶Oh, but His left hand cradles my head

While His right hand holds me close.

I’m at rest in this love!

[The Shepherd-King]

⁷Promise Me, brides-to-be,

By the gentle gazelles

And delicate deer,

That you’ll not disturb My love

Until she is ready to arise.

Excerpts from Brian Simmons’ new book: Miracles in Your Wilderness!

You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. The presence of the One called “Living Water” is within you. This Jesus brings to us springs of water, "springing up into everlasting life." The springs begin to well up, and praise and adoration flows out of you. Before you know it, the springs are watering everything around you. You see things differently, you feel differently about people you didn't notice before.

When Jesus shows up in the wilderness -- the wilderness disappears. The desert starts growing flowers. His presence satisfies our thirst in a dry and weary land (season). Whoever heard of roses in the desert?

“And the desert shall blossom like as a Rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.” Isaiah 35:1, 2

Often it takes a wilderness to make us desperate, thirsty for a move of the Spirit. We can expect in our wilderness no shortage of miracles. For God is with us no matter where we are – so what is there to fear?

Most of us have a built in attitude that translates the word “wilderness” into “something terrible.” In fact, the Bible teaches that the wilderness is the place we see miracles, the place we hear God speak, and the place He reveals Himself to us.

For almost eight years I lived in an actual wilderness. It was the jungle region of Central America known as the Darien Gap. It was a wilderness so abandoned and obscure there was no road going through it. With my precious wife and three children we lived as tribal missionaries reaching the jungle Kuna people with the good news of Christ’s love. It was a wilderness in more ways than one!

We experienced the oppression of demonic powers, our daughter being bitten by a venomous snake, a canoe overturning in a flooding river, threats of violence, and other no-so-great-stuff. Yet in our wilderness we met the God of the Bible. He answered our prayers with miracles and converted dozens within days as we asked Him to speak to the hearts of the people. A wilderness can blossom like a rose if we will let God be everything to us.

Join me now in this study of the Hebrew people and their story of escape from Egypt into the discovery of the God of mystery and miracles. Be prepared for sudden impact as your history hits your destiny!
