🔥 There’s a place between bondage and promise.

A space between Babylon and Zion.

Between empire and kingdom.

Between who we were and who we must become.

That place is the wilderness.

It is not punishment.

It is preparation.

It is not exile.

It is encounter.

🏜️ The Wilderness is Where God Judges and Forms His People

“I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and there, face to face, I will execute judgment upon you.”

— Ezekiel 20:35–36

In this sacred in-between, the African Diaspora finds itself.

We are not fully enslaved. But not yet free.

We are post-plantation but pre-Zion.

We are in the wilderness between worlds.

It’s where God calls His people out—not just physically, but spiritually.

Out of survival mode.

Out of empire logic.

Out of borrowed theology.

Here, the remnant is refined—not erased.

🐫 The Wilderness is a Pattern, Not a Place

The wilderness is the ancient pattern of transformation:

Israel wandered 40 years, unlearning Egypt. Elijah fled into it to hear the whisper of God. Yahshua was led there to confront the enemy face-to-face. And now, we are here—facing generational strongholds and prophetic destiny.

The wilderness isn’t a detour. It’s the curriculum of freedom.

✊🏾 The Diaspora is in a Wilderness Moment

We know who we’re not—but not yet who we are.

We are deconstructing, detangling, detoxing.

We’re leaving Babylon but still haunted by its language,

its pace, its God-complex.

We are wandering through:

Unhealed trauma Colonized Christianity Economic bondage Cultural amnesia

But like our ancestors, we are not lost—we are being led.

💧 The Wilderness is Where the Covenant is Renewed

“So I will bring you into the wilderness… I will take note of you as I did your ancestors… and I will bring you into the bond of covenant.”

— Ezekiel 20:35–37

This wilderness is where God renames us.

Reclaims us.

Re-covenants us.

It’s where we stop being “minorities” and start being priests.

Where we stop performing and start remembering.

Where the scattered become sacred again.

🌄 Between Babylon and Zion Lies the Wilderness

This is where we are now.

No longer enslaved, but not yet enthroned.

No longer deceived, but not yet delivered.

But in the wilderness, the truth is loud.

The manna is messy.

The miracles are quiet.

And the promise still waits ahead.

🕯️ Keep Walking

If you are weary—walk.

If you are unsure—walk.

If you are not who you used to be, but not yet who you hope to be—walk.

The wilderness is not your final form.

It’s your proving ground.

Zion still waits.

And every step you take is stained glass in motion.
