Spiritual Warfare
Expect to be challenged by the Adversary. You are going through the same process as Christ did in Matthew chapter 4. In other words as you enter your wilderness of fasting and prayer, you will be tempted. If you recall the wilderness journey of the children of Israel it was a place where their loyalty and faith were tested. You are laying yourselves on God’s spiritual altar and asking Him to magnify the ways that are not like Him. God allows the temptations of the Adversary to cause our “uglies” to come to the surface. In this state of consecration those things you were not under conviction about you are now under conviction because you are seeing them through the light of the Spirit of God. You now have to fortify those areas of your lives that have been exposed as weaknesses.
