Transformation of the Heart BoOk

This song has proved to be from God to me, personally, warning me of the long desert of waiting He would allow in my life. In our book "Escape from Laodicea' I have written about it.
In 1984, before I met Ken, I fasted and prayed for a week and one morning as I went outside to watch the sunrise, I felt the love and presence of God so close to me that I started to thank Him for His love. Straight after that, I went inside, picked up my pen and the words of this song came flowing out. Then God gave me a promise. He put it into my heart to read Isaiah 35:6 "Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert." Jesus is called the fountain of living water and only Jesus can satisfy our soul's longing for purpose and fulfillment in life because He created us to be loved by Him and to return that love. We do not usually seek Him out until things become hard and He knows that. This is why He allows the "desert experience" to happen in our lives so we may turn away from all our frivolous, self-seeking occupations and cry out to Him and subsequently find springs of water in the dry land. The dry land is our hard circumstances and the springs of water is that deep, close presence of God that He intended for us when He created us. It is during the hard, dry seasons of our physical lives, away from all the distractions and false security of materialistic ease, that we grow closest to our Creator and truly become fulfilled. I believe God's promise to me as given in this song, "Deep in the Winter". He has remained faithful to it.
