“We use to give motivational speeches, get people pumped up and send them out but nothing would happen.” ~ Ben Messner (training camp leader) now dependent upon the empowerment of God through the Holy Spirit
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ~ John the Baptist
“Apart from Me, says the LORD, you can do nothing.”
“Inner healing and surrendering our “junk” to the Lord is to get rid of emotional baggage… we can’t send you guys over to minister, to in turn, be those who need the shoulders, and ministry.” ~ paraphrased but again, Ben Messner
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” ~1 Pe 5:7
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest… Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls… For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
~ OUR GRACIOUS LORD
I quote these things to summarize training camp. I’m choosing to do so because we’ve been asked to write one more blog about something we experienced while being there…
I’ll go ahead and admit that this is my attempt to avoid that ;).
What the Lord chose to do at camp during those 10days was more than AMAZING and I am now finding that words are far too simple to describe our experience and inadequately represent Him… or maybe I just need a larger vocabulary?! 🙂 Either way, to wrap it up, it was good. HE… IS GOOD!
