No Turning Back

I wish you all could have been there. Training Camp is a rite of passage of sorts covered in secrecy by racers both present and past. I thought I had an accurate idea of what it might look like, but boy was I wrong. Training camp was a turning point in my life and there is no going back. I can’t go back to what was. I’ve seen the Lord in a new way and He’s opened my eyes to just how much He loves me. My mind doesn’t understand how this could be true, but my heart feels it and fully accepts it now, and it makes me a dangerous man to the enemy. I am a WARRIOR in Christ. Jesus the conqueror of death and our sin is in me. He is my captain and I am His vessel.

This week I’ve started seeing the world as God sees it. I was drenched in His love. Felt the Holy Spirit work through me tangibly.  Heard the Anointed calling that God has on my life (more on this later). Seen physical healing, cried, laughed like a kid, worshiped and danced for Jesus and this is only the beginning!

In one short week, our Squad formed an unbreakable bond. We went to battle with our chains, brokenness, walls and hurts, but we weren’t alone in that. What happened when we let God break those chains and destroy those walls is impossible to put to words. There was a lot of crying, and the crying is real, but a lot healthier than I imagined it would be. These aren’t tears of sadness and fear. No, these are tears of people who have felt an unthinkable burden being lifted away. Holy tears. People cried as they embraced true freedom and God’s promises for the first time.

Here’s the thing guys. You have to say YES to God’s promises, to God’s calling on your life. You have to walk blindly in faith in the direction of the unknown. But when you do that, you will never feel so alive in your life.  All of a sudden nothing else will matter.

The fire has been ignited within me and I know there’s no going back to who I was before.  ‘Jesus will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He’s going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He’ll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he’ll put out with the trash to be burned.‘  Matthew 3:11-12 (Message)

I am a man of God, a trusted ambassador for the King, and an obedient son of El Shaddai. I do his bidding AT his bidding and will seek out, and accomplish the mission He has given me throughout the rest of my life.
