TABLE IN THE
WILDERNESS
REAL BIBLICAL ANSWERS.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL ISSUES
After publishing Trusting God in the Storm on YouTube on Nov 27, 2015, tens of thousands of people began contacting me from around the world, sharing their own pains and asking their deepest questions, about their Christian faith and struggles. In turn, I would ask the Lord to give me “bread from heaven” for them, and then I hit record, thousands of times. Here are some of those recordings. Please note, all first names are actual, but pains have been taken to remove any identifying information in order to preserve anonymity.

Store up comfort. This was the prophet Isaiah’s mission. The world is full of hurting and comfortless hearts. But before you will be competent for this lofty ministry, you must be trained. And your training is extremely costly, for to make it complete, you too must endure the same afflictions that are wringing countless hearts of tears and blood. Consequently, your own life becomes the hospital ward where you are taught the divine art of comfort. You will be wounded so that in the binding up of your wounds by the Great Physician, you may learn how to render first aid to the wounded everywhere. Do you wonder why you are having to experience some great sorrow? Over the next ten years you will find many others afflicted in the same way. You will tell them how you suffered and were comforted. As the story unfolds, God will apply the anesthetic He once used on you to them. Then in the eager look followed by the gleam of hope that chases the shadow of despair from the soul, you will know why you were afflicted. And you will bless God for the discipline that filled your life with such a treasure of experience and helpfulness. SELECTED God comforts us not to make us comfortable but to make us comforters.

“Thank you so much for all your hard work in producing the “Table in the Wilderness”. Not only are these messages a help and encouragement to me, but I am also learning from the different trials and suffering that people have passed through, and the God given answers and help to people in these times of darkness. I trust God, that because of this, I will be better able help to others.
Also, listening to these trying circumstances in people’s lives, is helping me more with compassion and understanding for others. Lisa's story and the message that the Lord gave you in reply, was a great blessing to me. Praise God! These messages are precious and really special!”

“The Table in the Wilderness series has indeed been very encouraging and uplifting to me because it shares real life struggles of other followers of Jesus who are walking down this narrow path with Him in faith. The emails that you received from countless of brothers and sisters' in Christ around the world and how Father would give you bread from heaven (such as a timely message from the scriptures on their specific trials or struggles in their walk with Jesus) has given me hope and comfort that I am not alone in my own sufferings.”
