In this prophetic and deeply personal message, Pastor Mike Chong Perkinson invites Awake Nations to see that God’s pathway often looks strange, slow, and impossible—but it is still the way into promise.

Through the stories of the Red Sea, the wilderness, and the Jordan River, Pastor Mike unpacks the journey from desperation to deliverance, through the desert, and into destiny. With honesty, humour, and faith, he reminds us that the obstacle is not the end of the story. The trial becomes the trail, the problem becomes the pathway, and the very thing standing in front of us can become the stepping stone into God-given purpose.

This message calls believers to reject shame, fear, and anxiety, trust the presence of God, and refuse to settle for a partial inheritance. Awake Nations is challenged to stand side by side, not simply behind gifted leaders, and take ground together as a Spirit-filled family.

God is forming a people who will go all the way into healing, hope, abundant life, and Kingdom impact across Australia and beyond.
