So the best way to describe my time at training camp was like the Battle of Jericho, but maybe a little different…
But instead of God telling Joshua to march around the city….God told me to go on the World Race (both being absurd options might I add)
But instead of the priests blowing their horns….God told me to open up and be willing to be broken (whatever that was supposed to mean)
But instead of the army marching around 7 times….God spoke to my heart through my new God-fearing friends and the wisdom of Ron Walborn
But instead of the army giving a loud shout at the end…..God had my newest friend KK pray over me that shame and guilt from my past would be lifted.
THEN BOOM
The walls collapsed around the city that had been “tightly shut up….No one went out and no one came in” (Joshua 6:1)
SO instead of the army rushing in and burning the city…..Jesus rushed into my soul and burned all the crap with his furious love
And instead of the men gathering the gold/silver/wealth of the city to be stored away…..Jesus collected the treasured aspects of my life and told me that I took His breath away.
“The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord” (Joshua 6:17)
Jennifer Anne Masters and all that she was created to be will be devoted to the Lord.
In the end Joshua said, “Cursed before the Lord is the man who undertakes to rebuild this city”……
AMEN Cursed is the man because no man would ever be able to rebuild and redeem my life…. That is something only God could and did do
I had struggled with the thought that some of the most deep rooted sins in my life occurred while I was a Christian…Satan had shamed and bounded me by those sins. Jesus broke me of that this week and freed my heart. True freedom after a year, not just a false sense of freedom.
I mocked and denied the fact that I could have a new family, yet after a week I already love many of my new squadmates. I laughed a lot with these funny people, felt loved, and was encouraged by them.
Cheers to new besties, stripping my pride, and supernatural joy given when in the presence of the most high God,
Jenni
