A few years ago, prophetic minister David Minor, was sitting with a friend and I and looked across the table and said "young man, you've gone from mountain top to mountain top and experienced Jesus there but you have never been in a valley. A new season is coming in your life and you are going to go through a valley where you will meet Jesus in a new way, in a valley. It's going to feel like you've been set on a shelf. Then after a period of time God will take you off that Shelf and you'll return to the place of ministry you've known." What a terrible thought "Valley's," being left on the shelf, not being in the public eye." That's what many would think who are full of self ambition. Most public forums of ministry are not that important anyway. God doesn't care about any of that all he cares about is what you do with your life. Quiet periods can be used for reflection, study, art, education, writing, filming, blogging, etc. Valleys are important places in the bible. Ezek the prophet wrote "He set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of dry bones" and look what happened to those dry bones. What a priviledge to be sent to a valley of dry bones... Great lessons await those of us in valleys - even the valley of the shadow of death. - Make the most of your quiet periods in life... that's what I'm doing. I'm plaaning to finish my study of Halogram Technology and how it can be used globally in spiritual formation and discipleship which means I can't always be in the public eye.
I'm not interested in that - that much anyway. Most people forget you and what you say anyway. So, give yourself to the more important developmental things in life!
